Lyrics

Japanese	Romaji	English
独りじゃないよ	hitori ja nai yo	You are not alone
恐れるものなんてないから	osoreru mono nante nai kara	There is nothing to fear
行こうさぁ目を開けて	ikou saa me o akete	So let's go together with our eyes open

ぶつかっていた	butsukatte ita	We were fighting one another
本当は追いつきたくて	hontou wa oitsukitakute	But I just wanted to do everything well like you
傷つけ合って	kidzutsuke atte	We were hurting ourselves one another
繋ぎ止める絆ほしくて	tsunagi tomeru kizuna hoshikute	But I just wanted a bond between us

「ごめん」	"gomen"	"I was sorry"
忘れないで	wasurenai de	Don't forget me
信じて待ってて	shinjite mattete	Believe me and wait for me
迎えに行くんだ	mukae ni iku nda	I'll come to see you

勇気の灯火照らし出せ弱さを	yuuki no tomoshibi terashidase yowasa o	Let the lamp of courage light on our weakness
傷だって痛みだって分け合えば平気だ	kizu datte itami datte wakeaeba heiki da	We can bear our wounds and pains if we share them one another
君の背中押す結んだ約束	kimi no senaka osu musunda yakusoku	Let our promise make you step forward
いつだって離れたって	itsudatte hanaretatte	The bond we cherish stays deep in our hearts
信じられる絆は胸に眠ってる	shinjirareru kizuna wa mune ni nemutteru	No matter when we are, no matter how far we are

ヘタクソなんだよ	hetakuso na nda yo	You know, I'm a clumsy person
恐れ知らず破天荒でさ	osore shirazu hatenkou de sa	I'm kinda reckless,
聞く耳持たず	kiku mimi motazu	Refuse to listen to you,
敵を作る正義もあって	teki o tsukuru seigi moatte	And sometimes make enemies

「ほらね」	"hora ne"	"You see"
忘れないで	wasurenai de	Don't forget me
ずっとそのままで	zutto sono mama de	But you can stay as you are
知らなくていいよ	shiranakute ii yo	And don't have to know everything

勇気の足音迷いなき強さが	yuuki no ashioto mayoi naki tsuyosa ga	The footsteps of courage, the unshakable strength
傷だって痛みだってかき消した「平気だ」	kizu datte itami datte kakikeshita "heiki da"	Relieved our wounds and pains "We are all right"
キミの背中押す結んだ約束	kimi no senaka osu musunda yakusoku	Our promise lets you step forward
いつだって離れたって	itsudatte hanaretatte	The bond we cherish stays deep in our hearts
信じられる絆は胸に眠ってる	shinjirareru kizuna wa mune ni nemutteru	No matter when we are, no matter how far we are

言葉のない約束は今…	kotoba no nai yakusoku wa ima…	The promise without words is now...
ぶつかり合う事も減った	butsukari au koto mo hetta	We ceased fighting one another
「分かってた」	"wakatteta"	"We know it"
君と僕は交わらずに	kimi to boku wa majiwarazu ni	You and I cross one another now^[1]

忘れないで	wasurenai de	Don't forget it
ずっとそのままで	zutto sono mama de	You can stay as you are
合図はいらない	aizu wa iranai	We don't need a sign

勇気の灯火照らしだせ僕らを	yuuki no tomoshibi terashidase bokura o	Let the lamp of courage light us up.
傷だって痛みだって分け合えば平気だ	kizu datte itami datte wakeaeba heiki da	We can bear our wounds and pains if we share them
君の背中押す結んだ約束	kimi no senaka osu musunda yakusoku	Let our promise make you step forward
いつだって離れたって	itsudatte hanaretatte	The bond we cherish stays deep in our hearts
信じられる絆は胸に眠ってる	shinjirareru kizuna wa mune ni nemutteru	No matter when we are, no matter how far we are

Notes

↑ In Japanese, 交わる majiwaru "to cross" carries the opposite meaning to English when used for people. For example, 彼と私は交わる means "he and I meet one another", so 君と僕は交わらずに in these lyrics means "you and I don't meet one another".
