Raging Waves

Raging Waves

Raging Waves

The flowers swaying, the wind blowing
はながゆきかいかぜがふき
hana ga yukikai kaze ga fuki
Colors dancing, the sun setting
いろがまいちりひがともる
iro ga maichiri hi ga tomoru
No matter how many seasons pass
きせつがなんどめぐっても
kisetsu ga nando meguttemo
This moment will never come again
このしゅんかんはにどとない
kono shunkan wa nido to nai

Even if I wish a hundred times
たとえひゃっかいねがっても
tatoe hyakkai negattemo
If I don't start moving, I can't catch it
うごきださなきゃつかめないから
ugokidasanakya tsukamenai kara
Not thinking about the aftermath, my eyes hurt
あとのかんがえずいたいめも
atosaki kangaezu itai me mo
Sometimes I see, but it's okay
ときにはみるけれどだいじょうぶ
toki ni wa miru keredo daijoubu

Thinking too much, unable to move
かんがえすぎてうごけなくて
kangaesugite ugokenakute
Rather than missing chances, I'm avoiding them
ちゃんすにがすよりむいてるの
chansu nigasu yori muiteru no
If I set my goal
ねらいさだめたなら
nerai sadameta nara
I'll just go now
いまいくだけいこう
ima iku dake ikou

A life praised by someone else
だれかにほめられるじんせい
dareka ni homerareru jinsei
Isn't what I'm aiming for
めざしているわけじゃないの
mezashiteiru wake ja nai no
My way of living that brings me joy
わたしがよろこぶいきかた
watashi ga yorokobu ikikata
I'll find it while bumping into things
ぶつかりながらみつけてく
butsukarinagara mitsuketeku

I'm not suddenly strong
いきなりつよいわけじゃない
ikinari tsuyoi wake ja nai
I'm not suddenly capable
いきなりできるわけじゃない
ikinari dekiru wake ja nai
From the repeating days
くりかえしていくひびから
kurikaeshiteyuku hibi kara
I'm creating myself
つくりあげてくのじぶんを
tsukuriageteku no jibun wo

Even if things don't go well
たとえうまくいかなくても
tatoe umaku ikanakutte mo
The path won't be erased, won't be closed
みちはけしてとざされはしない
michi wa keshite tozasare wa shinai
From there, something will start again
そこからまたなにかがはじまる
soko kara mata nanika ga hajimaru
Search, worry, and seek
さがしてなやんでもとめてれば
sagashite nayande motometereba

To quit or to give up
やめるのとあきらめるのとでは
yameru no to akirameru no to de wa
The next path will change
つぎのみちがかわってくる
tsugi no michi ga kawattekuru
Don't leave any regrets
おもいのこさないで
omoi nokosanai de
Just do what you can now
いまやるだけやろう
ima yaru dake yarou

Rather than being recognized by someone else
だれかにみとめられるより
dareka ni mitomerareru yori
First, I have to acknowledge myself
まずじぶんをみとめなくちゃ
mazu jibun wo mitomenakucha
The bad parts and the good parts
だめなとこもいいところも
dame na toko mo ii tokoro mo
Let's embrace them all
ひっくるめてだきしめよう
hikkurumete dakishimeyou

Even if the path to walk is harder
らくにあるけるみちよりも
raku ni arukeru michi yori mo
I want to enjoy it, even if it's painful
つらくてもたのしみたい
tsurakuttemo tanoshimitai
Busy, boring days
いそがしいたいくつなひび
isogashii taikutsu na hibi
If I want to change, I'll start walking
かえたいならあるきだそう
kaetai nara arukidasou

Rather than being recognized by someone else
だれかにみとめられるより
dareka ni mitomerareru yori
First, I have to acknowledge myself
まずじぶんをみとめなくちゃ
mazu jibun wo mitomenakucha
The bad parts and the good parts
だめなとこもいいところも
dame na toko mo ii tokoro mo
Let's embrace them all
ひっくるめてだきしめよう
hikkurumete dakishimeyou

Even if the path to walk is harder
らくにあるけるみちよりも
raku ni arukeru michi yori mo
I want to enjoy it, even if it's painful
つらくてもたのしみたい
tsurakuttemo tanoshimitai
Busy, boring days
いそがしいたいくつなひび
isogashii taikutsu na hibi
Because I want to change, I'll keep walking
かえたいからあるいてくの
kaetai kara aruiteku no
