And I miss youAnd I miss you
Bright old daysBright old days
Tooku natteFading away,
Akari wa mujouthe light’s heartless.
Mukashi wa itsumoThe past was always
Mabushikuteso dazzling,
Tooku nattebut it’s fading away
Watashi wa muonas I stay silent.
Kokoro yuraideruMy heart’s wavering,
Mou uso wa kikoenakuteI can’t hear the lies anymore.
Souzou no sentan ni tatteStanding at the edge of my imagination,
Modoranai to warattaI laughed and said I’m not going back.
Sou da furuete ita koe waThat’s right, the voice that was trembling
Musha burui no otozureis the arrival of a ‘warrior’s shiver’.
Monogatari no tazuna wo hodoiteReleasing the reins of the story,
Ikitoshi ikeru mono wa ukaberuall living things come to mind.
Aomigakari no hare no butai deOn this bluish, grand stage,
Watashi ga watashi wo oinuki satte iku eI’ll keep overtaking my own self.
And I miss youAnd I miss you
While I wanderWhile I wander,
Tooku natteas things fade away,
Itami wa mugonthe pain’s silent.
Mirai wa itsumoThe future’s always
Mabushikuteso dazzling,
Tooku natteand though it’s far away,
Watashi wa mukauI’m heading right for it.
Mabuta fusaideruMy eyelids are closed,
Mou uso wa afurenakutethe lies don’t overflow anymore.
Monogatari no maku ga aiteThe curtain of the story opens,
Ikitoshi ikeru mono wa habakaruand all living things are hesitant.
Waren bakari no hare no butai deOn this grand stage filled with thunderous applause,
Watashi ga watashi wo koete ikuI’m surpassing my own self.
I want it more and more andI want it more and more and
More than I could ever ask forMore than I could ever ask for,
To fill my greedy walletto fill my greedy wallet.
Now I know I knowNow I know, I know,
I know it’s not my bank accountI know it’s not my bank account
That need to be loadedthat needs to be loaded
When I need to be up therewhen I need to be up there.
Musha burui yo otozureLet the ‘warrior’s shiver’ arrive.
Monogatari no tazuna wo hodoiteReleasing the reins of the story,
Ikitoshi ikeru mono wa ukaberuall living things come to mind.
Aomigakari no hare no butai deOn this bluish, grand stage,
Watashi ga watashi wo oinuki satte iku eI’ll keep overtaking my own self.
And I miss youAnd I miss you
Bright old daysBright old days
