Roses in Thorns
Togenashi Togeari • From “I’ll live with my heart on my sleeve!”
I’ll live with my heart on my sleeve!’s Roses in Thorns Japanese Lyrics English Translation
カイザー恵理菜 describes finding strength through the line ‘My trembling heart’s filled with hope for tomorrow.’ The lyrics mention ‘scars’ and ‘flowers’ as physical symbols of changing pain into beauty.
Kizudarake datta boku no sekai itsunomani hi ga sashiteMy world was covered in scars, but before I knew it, the sun began to shine,
Kimi ga warau boku mo tsurare warauand when you smile, I find myself smiling right along with you.
Kitai nanka sarenakutemo kijou ni saitemiseru karaEven if no one expects anything from me, I’ll show them I can bloom with strength,
Dokomademo tonari ni ite yoso stay by my side no matter how far we go.
Gomen ne mo ienai mama sayonara shita namida ni hanamuke oTo the tears of a goodbye where I couldn’t even say ‘I’m sorry,’ I’ll give a parting gift of flowers.
Shuushifu wa imadaThe final period hasn’t been written yet.
Sora ga mabushiku warau kara kuyashikute kaketaThe sky laughed so radiantly that I felt frustrated and started running.
Kanashimi teraseba makenai machigai ja nai karaIf I shine a light on my sadness, I won’t lose, because it wasn’t a mistake.
Kuchi o hirakeba kirawarete bakka tameiki no yoru moEven on nights filled with sighs when I’m only hated whenever I open my mouth,
Boku ga ririshiku mukattara haiiro no michi gaif I face it all with dignity, maybe this gray road
Oikaze fuku kana irodore mita koto nai miraiwill catch a tailwind and color a future I’ve never seen before.
Furueru mune wa asu e no kibouMy trembling heart’s filled with hope for tomorrow.
Chiribameta tane wa hana ni naru yoThe seeds I’ve scattered will surely turn into flowers.
Kagen nanka shiranai de ii yo kanshou ni hitattenai deYou don’t need to know how to hold back, so don’t just wallow in sentimentality.
Itsumademo umi o wataru yoI’ll keep crossing the ocean forever.
Yorokobi mo kikenai mama nemutta mama no egao ni hanataba oTo the smile that fell asleep without ever hearing joy, I’ll offer a bouquet.
Shuuen wa mada da kanaerun daThe end isn’t here yet; I’m going to make it come true.
Itsuka nakushita hikari ga kirameita yume gaThe light I once lost and the dream that sparkled,
Yozora o kakereba megenai mou teokure dakaraif they race across the night sky, I won’t give up, because it’s too late for that now.
Kuru hi mo netsu o butsukeatte bakka kakusenai kokoroDay after day, we just clash with our passions, unable to hide our hearts.
Kimi to hatenaku susundara aiiro no bokuraIf I keep moving forward endlessly with you, we’ll turn indigo.
Aisareru no kana shiawase tadoru you ni ippoI wonder if we’ll be loved as we take a step to trace our path to happiness.
Deaeta machi de tsumuida unmei o yadoshita hidane wa kienai deshoThe ember carrying the destiny we wove in the town where we met won’t go out, right?
Negatta yume nara sakaseteyukeIf it’s a dream you wished for, go on and make it bloom.
