Sanzen Meaning & Lyrics (Super Beaver)
Ryota Yanagisawa pens a line that resonates deeply: ‘Don’t sit on the fence, my dignity; this spark will blaze brilliantly later.’ The lyrics mix themes of pride and perseverance, urging listeners to stand tall even in a harsh world. The songwriter uses the metaphor of a spark becoming brilliance to inspire hope.
Aragai tsuzukeru yowasa to koukai niI’ll keep fighting against my weakness and regret,
Mamoritai mono wo mamoritai hanpamono nari ni satrying to protect what matters, even for a half-hearted fool like me.
Hiyorimiru na songen tanebi ga nochi no sanzen sanzenDon’t sit on the fence, my dignity; this spark will blaze brilliantly later.
Sechigarai sekai mo soredemo ikiru no waIn this harsh, unforgiving world, the reason I still live
Anata ga iru kara mata aitai karais because you’re here, and because I want to see you again.
Piikan janakute ii kimagure na hitosujiIt doesn’t have to be a perfect blue sky; just a whimsical single ray,
Son kurai no kibou ga shinpyousei atte iithat much hope feels real enough for me.
Suki katte iu shi sa okasou to suru demoThey say whatever they please, trying to violate my space,
Hiyorimiru na songen tanebi ga nochi no sanzenbut don’t waver, my dignity; this spark will become brilliance later.
Kuso kurae rifujin mekuru tame haru iji wa rippa daTo hell with this absurdity; the stubborn guts to turn the page are worthy of praise.
Otentosama ga miteiru tteThey say ‘the sun is always watching’,
Onore no hokori no arikata daand that’s just how my pride works.
Urusae na uzoumuzouShut up, you noisy rabble,
Tamashii wo damakurakashite waraeru mon kahow can you laugh while deceiving your own soul?
Aragai tsuzukeru yowasa to koukai niI’ll keep fighting against my weakness and regret,
Mamoritai mono wo mamoritai hanpamono nari ni satrying to protect what matters, even for a half-hearted fool like me.
Hiyorimiru na songen tanebi ga nochi no sanzenDon’t sit on the fence, my dignity; this spark will become brilliance later.
Shizumanai taiyou sonna mon nai yoA sun that never sets? There’s no such thing.
Noboranai taiyou jaa sore mo mata nai yo naaA sun that never rises? Well, that doesn’t exist either.
Sesuji wo nobashite tsura ni hikari wo ateruStand tall and let the light hit your face,
Sasureba namida mo kagayakuand if you do, even your tears will shine.
Otentosama ga miteiru tteThey say ‘the sun is always watching’,
Onore no hokori no arikata daand that’s just how my pride works.
Urusae na uzoumuzouShut up, you noisy rabble,
Tamashii wo damakurakashite waraeru mon kahow can you laugh while deceiving your own soul?
Aragai tsuzukeru yowasa to koukai niI’ll keep fighting against my weakness and regret,
Mamoritai mono wo mamoritai hanpamono nari ni satrying to protect what matters, even for a half-hearted fool like me.
Tsukiyo ni naitemo nakushitemo kawaranakatta kotoThe things that didn’t change even when I cried in the moonlight or lost my way,
Mamoritai mono wo mamoritai mata anata ni aitaiI want to protect those things, and I want to see you again.
Hiyorimiru na songen tanebi ga nochi no sanzen sanzenDon’t sit on the fence, my dignity; this spark will blaze brilliantly later.
Kakkou tsukero yo songen tanebi ga nochi no sanzen sanzenShow some style, my dignity; this spark will blaze brilliantly later.
