Michiteyuku Lyrics Translation – Lisa Halim
The poet describes a faint fluttering in the heart as he writes about closing a chapter. He writes ‘Everything comes back, comes back, but not you’ in nine words. The image of a packed suitcase left behind carries the message of release.
Hashiridashita gogo moEven the afternoon we started running
Kasaneau hibi moAnd the days we spent together
Sakegataku subete owari ga kuruEverything inevitably comes to an end
Ano hi no kirameki moEven the sparkle of those days
Awai tokimeki moAnd that faint fluttering in my heart
Are mo kore mo dokoka oite kuruI’ll leave this and that somewhere behind
Sore de yokatta toThinking that was for the best
Kore de yokatta toThinking this was for the best
Sukoyaka ni warai aeru hi madeUntil the day we can laugh healthily together
Aketeyuku sora mo kureteyuku sora moBoth the dawning sky and the darkening sky
Bokura wa koeteyukuWe’ll keep moving beyond them
Kawariyuku mono wa shikata ga nai ne toSaying things that change can’t be helped
Te wo hanasu karuku naru michiteyukuI let go, I become light, and I’m filled up
Te ni shita shunkan niThe moment I get my hands on it
Nakunaru yorokobiThe joy disappears
Sonna mono bakari oikakete waI was only chasing things like that
Muda ni shiteta ‘ai’ to iu kotobaWasting the word we call ‘love’
Ima nara hontou no imi ga wakaru no ka naI wonder if I finally understand its true meaning now
Aisareru tame niLoving someone just
Aisu no wa higekiTo be loved back is a tragedy
Karakara na kokoro ni omegumi woGive a blessing to this parched heart
Hareteyuku sora mo areteyuku sora moBoth the clearing sky and the stormy sky
Bokura wa medeteyuku ahWe’ll cherish them both, ah
Nani mo nai keredo subete sashidasu yoI’ve got nothing, but I’ll give you everything
Te wo hanasu karuku naru michiteyukuI let go, I become light, and I’m filled up
Akehanatsu mune’ no hikariThe light in my wide-open chest
Yami wo terashi michi wo shimesuShines through the dark and shows the way
Yagate seishi wo koete tsunagaruEventually connecting beyond life and death
Tomo ni te wo hanasu karuku naru michiteyukuTogether we let go, become light, and get filled up
Hareteyuku sora mo areteyuku sora moBoth the clearing sky and the stormy sky
Bokura wa medeteyuku ahWe’ll cherish them both, ah
Nani mo nai keredo subete sashidasu yoI’ve got nothing, but I’ll give you everything
Te wo hanasu karuku naru michiteyukuI let go, I become light, and I’m filled up
