Kokoroe Lyrics Translation – Uru
The lyrics of ‘Kokoroe’ describe the process of turning pain into strength. A key line, ‘Like rain falling on a flower bud, like the sun shining down,’ shows how struggles can lead to growth. Uru invites listeners to embrace their past and move forward with courage.
時に空のようにAt times, be vast like the sky,
時に海のようにAt times, be deep like the sea,
深く深く 撓みない志をWith a deep, unbending resolve,
胸に掲げながらHeld high within your heart.
それでもまだ迷いEven if you still lose your way,
一筋流したその涙もまたThat single tear you’ve shed becomes…
今日を生きる希望…hope for living through today.
あなたが信じてきたもの 忘れないでDon’t forget what you’ve always believed in.
失うものあれば必ず見つけられる光もあるWhere there is loss, there is surely light to be found.
蕾に刺す雨のようにLike rain falling on a flower bud,
射す陽のようにLike the sun shining down,
その息吹を感じてFeel that breath of life.
我が身をつねって人の痛さを知れPinch your own skin to understand another’s pain.
瞼を焼いた後悔もEven the regrets that burned your eyes,
全てこの道 歩いていく術としてUse them all as a way to walk this path,
その身に纏う鎧となるAnd they’ll become the armor you wear.
時に過ちに心が痛もうともEven if your heart aches from mistakes at times,
その後悔に学びながらLearn from those regrets,
恐れずまた行けAnd go forward again without fear,
今日を生きる希望With hope to live for today.
あなたの中にある光離さないでDon’t let go of the light inside you.
描き続けるなら その場所へとIf you keep envisioning it,
必ず道は繋がっていくThe road will surely connect you to that place.
蕾に刺す雨のようにLike rain falling on a flower bud,
射す陽のようにLike the sun shining down,
その歩みを信じてBelieve in the steps you take.
