Yoake No Uta

Song of Dawn

Yoake No Uta

When the stars drift away and say goodbye,
はなれていく星が挨拶する時に
hanareteiku hoshi ga aisatsu suru toki ni
I let out a light sigh while gazing at the sky.
その空見ながら軽い息を出した
sono sora mi nagara karui iki wo dashita
In the dim light of dawn,
まだほの暗い明がたには
mada hono kurai ake gata ni wa
It feels like I’m the only one left here.
私しか残ってないよう
watashi shika nokottenai you

Alright, everyone. Raise your pinky finger,
さあ、みんな。右の小指を上げて
saa, minna. migi no koyubi wo agete
Let’s shout this song together.
一緒にこの歌を叫んでみよう
isshou ni kono uta wo sakende miyou
You didn’t lose; you just got tired,
君は負けなかった。疲れただけ
kimi wa makenakatta. tsukareta dake
Until the day breaks again.
また来る朝を明ける日まで
mata kuru asa wo akeru hi made

(I’ve only learned to stand up for myself)
(今まで自ら立ち上がることだけ)
(ima made mizukara tachiagaru koto dake)
(I never knew what it was like to lose my way)
(道を迷うことなんか知らなかった)
(michi wo mayou koto nanka shiranakatta)
(Even when I’m beaten by my own weakness)
(自分の弱さにやられても)
(jibun no yowasa ni yararete mo)
(Dreams are still waiting for me)
(夢っていうものが待っている)
(yumette iu mono ga matteiru)

Alright, everyone, raise your pinky finger,
さあ、みんな、右の小指を上げて
saa, minna, migi no koyubi wo agete
Let’s run together into the future.
一緒に未来へ走ってみよう
isshou ni mirai e hashitte miyou
Once more, extend your pinky finger,
もう一度右の小指を出して
mou ichido migi no koyubi wo dashite
Let’s sing the promised song together.
約束の歌を歌ってみよう
yakusoku no uta wo utatte miyou

The fragments of dreams I’ve gathered so far,
今まで集めてきた夢のかけら
ima made atsumetekita yume no kakera
I’ll just take them in my hands and walk.
手に取って歩くだけ
te ni totte aruku dake
So I won’t forget them again,
再び忘れてしまわないように
futatabi wasurete shimawanai you ni
I’ll keep them close to my heart and remember.
この胸に止めて覚えておこう
kono mune ni tomete oboete okou

Alright, everyone, raise your pinky finger,
さあ、みんな、右の小指を上げて
saa, minna, migi no koyubi wo agete
Let’s run together into the future.
一緒に未来へ走ってみよう
isshou ni mirai e hashitte miyou
Once more, extend your pinky finger,
もう一度右の小指を出して
mou ichido migi no koyubi wo dashite
Let’s sing the promised song together.
約束の歌を歌ってみよう
yakusoku no uta wo utatte miyou
