kokkara Lyrics English Translation by Sixtones
SAEKI youthK writes that ‘This is me, it starts from here’ shows self‑hood. He writes that even a mistaken future still shows hope for the singer.
Hey Boy Heibon Ni Born In The Nippon Ubugoe Ogyaa Ikusaki Wa KouyaHey boy, born ordinary in Japan, screaming your first cry into the wilderness.
Noomaru Ika Ga Ika Ni Shite Chika Fukaku Nemuru Koumyaku Horemasu KaHow’s someone ‘below average’ supposed to strike the gold vein buried deep underground?
Shiru Ka Soru Ka Soru Ka Shika Nee Kono Yo No Naka Tashika Na Kachikan Nado MuikachikaWhether I know or not, I’ve gotta shave it all off. In this world, fixed values are worthless.
Katto Natta Tte Kono Kattou De Umareta Take Wa Cut Dekin YoEven if I get heated, I can’t just ‘cut’ through the bamboo born from this conflict.
I Can’t Be Someone Else Oh I Know I KnowI can’t be someone else, oh I know, I know.
Kono Bureeki Wo Kowashitai No Shitai NoI want to break these brakes, I really do.
Kore Dake Ja Yareneette WakatteruI know I can’t make it with just this.
Demo Kore Shika Nee Kara Kore Ni KakatteruBut this is all I’ve got, so I’m betting everything on it.
Machigatteru Mirai Demo Ore Ni Wa HikatteruEven if it’s a ‘mistaken future’, it’s still shining for me.
Let It FireLet it fire.
Moyasu Kono Toushi Sono TetsugoushiI’ll burn this fighting spirit and those iron bars.
Buchi Kowashi Doushiyou Mo Nai Mama GaI’ll smash through them, remaining exactly as my hopeless self.
Jibun Nan Da Kokkara Hajiman DaThis is me, it starts from right here.
Itsuka No Doushin Motte Doryoku ShiI’ll keep that childhood innocence and put in the work.
Yume To Sou Shi Sou Ai Ni Nareru Hazu Nan DaMy dreams and I should be able to find ‘mutual love’.
Kokkara Kokkara Hajiman DaIt starts from here, it starts from right here.
1 2 3 4 Junban Toori1 2 3 4, just as ordered.
Ittenai Dake De Yotei TooriJust because I haven’t said it, doesn’t mean it’s not going as planned.
Rooringu Rooringu KorogattekeRolling, rolling, keep on rolling forward.
Yoridori Midori No IsshouA lifetime full of ‘limitless choices’.
1 2 3 4 Junban Toori1 2 3 4, just as ordered.
Ittenai Dake De Yotei TooriJust because I haven’t said it, doesn’t mean it’s not going as planned.
Rooringu Rooringu Korogatteke YoRolling, rolling, keep on rolling, yeah.
Kokkara Hajiman DaIt starts from right here.
Kokkara Dokkara Wakaran Datte Nenryou Jitai Wa SukkarakanFrom where? I don’t even know, ’cause my fuel tank’s bone dry.
Korya Akan Wa Rakkanshi Kantan Niゃ Sumanu Maさに NankanThis is bad, I’m too optimistic. It’s truly a ‘difficult barrier’ that won’t end easily.
Hitori Ni Naritakute Mo Hito Darake Sarakedasu Ni Mo Hitokurou Na WakeEven if I want to be alone, there’s people everywhere. It’s a struggle just to lay myself bare.
Kikare Taku Nai Sairen Piipoo Demo Doko Itta Tte ‘Hito Hito Hito’I don’t wanna hear the sirens, people. But no matter where I go, it’s ‘people, people, people’.
Kiiro Shingou De Zutto ShinkouKeep moving forward even when the light’s yellow.
Shin Idaita Saki Wa Arukou Ze Reddo KaapettoLet’s walk the red carpet toward the ambitions we’ve embraced.
Tarirariruriratta Come OnTarirariruriratta, come on.
Yoridori Midoritte Sakki IttaroI told you before, ‘choices are limitless’.
Ashita Ari To Omou Kokoro No AdazakuraA ‘fleeting cherry blossom’ heart that assumes there’s always a tomorrow.
Ikiteru Koto Ga Seiten No HekirekiJust being alive is like a ‘bolt from the blue’.
Shikashi Kuyashisa De Kuroku Moeru Haran NakaBut in the midst of the storm, I’m burning black with frustration.
Moyase Moyase MoyaseBurn it, burn it, burn it.
Moyasu Kono Toushi Sono TetsugoushiI’ll burn this fighting spirit and those iron bars.
Buchi Kowashi Doushiyou Mo Nai Mama GaI’ll smash through them, remaining exactly as my hopeless self.
Jibun Nan Da Kokkara Hajiman DaThis is me, it starts from right here.
Itsuka No Doushin Motte Doryoku ShiI’ll keep that childhood innocence and put in the work.
Yume To Sou Shi Sou Ai Ni Nareru Hazu Nan DaMy dreams and I should be able to find ‘mutual love’.
Kokkara Kokkara Hajiman DaIt starts from here, it starts from right here.
‘Ore Warukunai Nanmo Machigatte Nai’I’m not wrong, I haven’t done anything wrong.
Jibun Ja Nai Nanika No Sei Ni ShitaiI want to blame it on something other than myself.
Tensai Ja Nai No Dasse Wakan NasaiNot being a genius is lame, you’d better realize that.
Kore Fikushon Ja NaiThis isn’t fiction.
Yoku Minasai Tensei No Sai Nado NaiLook closely, there’s no such thing as ‘innate talent’.
Demo Yamerarenai MitaiBut it seems I can’t just quit.
Atasha Ahou Ka Baka MitaiAm I an idiot? I look like a fool.
Mite Mitai Kokkara Moeru MiraiI want to see the future burning from here.
Meramera Mada Mada Jibun De Kimetsuken Na GenkaiBlazing on, don’t go deciding your own limits yet.
Sagase Omae No Seikai Hontou No Jibun Nante Iya Shine YoFind your own answer, there’s no such thing as a ‘true self’ anyway.
Taku Nakya Dame Hiku Kute Wa DameIf I don’t burn, it’s no good. If I pull back, it’s no good.
Tte Omoikonderu Koto Koso Ga DameBeing stuck in that mindset is what’s really no good.
Suki Koso Mono No Jouzu Nare De Tsugi Koso Oeru NebekurebeThey say ‘you’ll excel at what you love’, and next time I’ll finish this ‘endurance test’.
I Can’t Be Someone Else Oh I Know I KnowI can’t be someone else, oh I know, I know.
Kono Bureeki Wo Kowashitai No Shitai NoI want to break these brakes, I really do.
Oh Shinogono Iwazu Ni UgokeOh, stop with the excuses and move.
Michi Naki Michi Hodo SusumeThe less path there is, the more you should advance.
Retto Mo Shitto Mo Shikki Naru NenryouBoth inferiority and jealousy are fuel that creates moisture.
Let It FireLet it fire.
Moyasu Kono Toushi Sono TetsugoushiI’ll burn this fighting spirit and those iron bars.
Buchi Kowashi Doushiyou Mo Nai Mama GaI’ll smash through them, remaining exactly as my hopeless self.
Jibun Nan Da Kokkara Hajiman DaThis is me, it starts from right here.
Itsuka No Doushin Motte Doryoku ShiI’ll keep that childhood innocence and put in the work.
