水野良樹 describes a journey where dreams live at the edge of possibility. The poet writes ‘Run, run, without looking back’ to capture the song’s essence of bold movement. The imagery of glittering tears and connecting feelings creates a path through life’s challenges.
Hashire hashire furimukazu niRun, run, without looking back,
Odore odore yume no hate deDance, dance, at the very edge of your dreams.
Itsuka kimi mo sakende kureSomeday, I want you to shout it out too,
Ikite sansanLive brilliantly.
SansanBrilliantly.
SansanBrilliantly.

Utsukushiku ikirenakute iiYou don’t have to live beautifully,
Subete no yume wa wagamama daBecause every dream is a little selfish.
Inochi o tsukaeUse up your life,
Moete kiete kaze ni nareBurn bright, fade away, and become the wind,
Sono toki nokoru no gaSo that what remains in that moment
Ai da to iu tame niIs simply called love.
Hashire hashire tomaranaideRun, run, and don’t stop,
Odore odore yume no hate deDance, dance, at the very edge of your dreams.
Soko de kimi mo sakende kureThere, I want you to shout it out too,
Ikite sansanLive brilliantly.
Kirari kirari namida sae moGlittering, glittering, even your tears,
Tsunage tsunage omoi o te niConnect, connect, with these feelings in hand.
Kimi mo mabushii yume sono monoYou yourself are that dazzling dream,

Wasurete tamaru ka kizuna waAs if I’d ever forget our bond,
Sayonara nanka ja todaenaiIt won’t be broken by something like ‘goodbye’.
Tomo ni ita tokiThe time we were together,
Ano hi ano te ano mazashiThat day, that hand, that gaze,
Namae o yobu dake deJust calling your name
Senaka ga atsuku naruIs enough to make my back feel warm.
Tonae tonae hajimari da toChant it, chant that this is the beginning,
Tsuraku mune ga sakeru tabi niEvery time your heart tears apart in pain.
Tooku tooku todoku koe deWith a voice that reaches far, far away,
