Lyrics

Singer	Miku	Rin	GUMI	All

Japanese	Romaji	English
思い通りにいかないことだらけ	omoidoori ni ikanai koto darake	Nothing ever goes the way I want it to,
どうしようもなく自己嫌悪	dou shiyou mo naku jiko ken'o	and I can’t help but hate myself for it
八百万の痛みや悲しみから	yaoyorozu no itami ya kanashimi kara	To hide from these countless pains and sorrows,
逃げ込める場所を	nigekomeru basho o	I’ve gone off on a search
探してる	sagashiteru	for a place I can hide away in

いっそ岩の隙間に引きこもって	isso iwa no sukima ni hikikomotte	I’d rather stay inside a rocky crevice
月も太陽も無視して眠ろう	tsuki mo taiyou mo mushi shite nemurou	and sleep without regard for the sun or moon
生まれてきたことの意味なんて	umarete kita koto no imi nante	Why was I even born in the first place?
知らない分かんないよ	shiranai wakannai yo	I don’t know, it just doesn’t make sense

でもそんな風に思えるってこと	demo sonna fuu ni omoeru tte koto	But while it may seem like that,
それは君がもっともっと素敵になれる力が	sore wa kimi ga motto motto suteki ni nareru chikara ga	it means you have the ability to become even greater
あるって教えてるんだよ	aru tte oshieteru nda yo	And I’ll tell you why

そうさ	sou sa	That’s right,
神のまにまに	kami no manimani	As us gods say,
仰せのままに	oose no mama ni	at our every command,
誰だって地球を愛してる	dare datte chikyuu o aishiteru	everyone loves the Earth
飲めや歌えや	nome ya utae ya	Drink and sing!
どんちゃん騒ぎ	donchan sawagi	Everyone, be merry
たまにゃそんなのも	tama nya sonna no mo	It’s not so bad
いいね	ii ne	once in a while

そうさ北も南も	sou sa kita mo minami mo	That’s right, from north to south,
右も左も	migi mo hidari mo	from right to left,
なんだかんだ地球を愛してる	nanda kanda chikyuu o aishiteru	one thing or another loves the Earth
泥んこだけど	doronko dakedo	The path may be muddy,
歩いて行ける	aruite yukeru	but we can still walk forwards
まだまだ先は長いさ	madamada saki wa nagai sa	We’ve still got a long ways ahead of us

ただ正しい人でいたいだけ	tada tadashii hito de itai dake	I just want to be a fair person
きっと誰もがそう願っているけど	kitto dare mo ga sou negatte iru kedo	and I’m sure everyone else wishes to be the same,
八百万の心の醜さに	yaoyorozu no kokoro no minikusa ni	but the countless imperfections in my heart
苦しめられる毎日さ	kurushimerareru mainichi sa	that torment me every day

僕が生まれてきたこと	boku ga umarete kita koto	Why was I born?
奇跡と言えば聞こえはいいけど	kiseki to ieba kikoe wa ii kedo	I guess you could call it a miracle,
それはきっと偶然にすぎなくて	sore wa kitto guuzen ni suginakute	but that’d really be no more than a coincidence,
やっぱり意味なんてないさ	yappari imi nante nai sa	so I guess there actually isn’t any meaning to it…

でも例えば君にいじわるをするやつが	demo tatoeba kimi ni ijiwaru o suru yatsu ga	But, if there’re guys out there who bully you,
いるならそれは君がとっても素敵な人だって	iru nara sore wa kimi ga tottemo suteki na hito da tte	that means that you’re a very great person
教えてるんだよ	oshieteru nda yo	And I’ll tell you why

そうさ	sou sa	That’s right,
神のまにまに	kami no manimani	As us gods say,
仰せのままに	oose no mama ni	at our every command,
誰だって地球を愛してる	dare datte chikyuu o aishiteru	everyone loves the Earth
僕が笑って	boku ga waratte	When I laugh
君も笑えば	kimi mo waraeba	and you laugh, too
許せないことなんてないよ	yurusenai koto nante nai yo	everything is forgiven

そうさ男も女も	sou sa otoko mo onna mo	That’s right, girls and boys
恋しかるべき	koi shikarubeki	naturally love each other
そんなふうに地球は回ってる	sonna fuu ni chikyuu wa mawatteru	Just like that, the world keeps spinning
どろんこだけど歩いていこう	doronko dakedo aruite yukou	The path may be muddy, but let’s still walk forwards
まだまだ先は長いさ	madamada saki wa nagai sa	We’ve still got a long ways ahead of us

本当に大事なものなんて	hontou ni daiji na mono nante	The things which are truly important,
案外くだらないことの中にあるよ	angai kudaranai koto no naka ni aru yo	they’re unexpectedly among the seemingly-worthless things
ときにはみんなで馬鹿騒ぎ	toki ni wa minna de bakasawagi	So let’s mess around all together
裸踊りで大笑い	hadakaodori de oowarai	and dance unclothed, laughing loudly

そうさ	sou sa	That’s right,
神のまにまに仰せのままに	kami no manimani oose no mama ni	As us gods say, at our every command,
もっともっと自分を愛せるよ	motto motto jibun o aiseru yo	I’m able to love myself even more and more
鏡を見てご覧よもう分かるでしょ?	kagami o mite goran yo mou wakaru desho?	Take a look in the mirror. You finally understand, don’t you?
みんなを照らす光さ	minna o terasu hikari sa	You’re the light which lets everyone shine

そうさ	sou sa	That’s right
神のまにまに	kami no manimani	As us gods say,
みんなありがとう	minna arigatou	thank you, everyone
やっぱり地球を愛してる	yappari chikyuu o aishiteru	I really do love the Earth
花を咲かそう	hana o sakasou	Let’s make a flower bloom,
大きな花を	ookina hana o	a huge one
天まで届くくらいの!	ten made todoku kurai no!	One so giant it’ll reach all the way to heaven!
(La la la…)
