Lyrics and translation flumpool - Akashi

Akashi

前を向きなよ 振り返ってちゃ
上手く歩けない
遠ざかる君に 手を振るのがやっとで

声に出したら 引き止めそうさ 心で呟く
僕は僕の夢へと 君は君の夢を

あたりまえの温もり
失くして 初めて気づく
寂しさ 噛み締めて 歩みだす勇気 抱いて

溢れだす涙が 君を遮るまえに
せめて笑顔で またいつか
傷つけ合っては 何度も許し合えたこと
代わりなき僕らの証になるだろう

わがままだって けなされたって
願い続けてよ
その声は届くから 君が君でいれば

僕がもしも 夢に 敗れて 諦めたなら
遠くで叱ってよ あの時のようにね

君の指差すその未来に
希望があるはずさ
誰にも決められはしないよ
一人で抱え込んで
生きる意味を問うときは
そっと思い出して あの日の僕らを

「またね」って言葉の儚さ 叶わない約束
いくつ交わしても慣れない
なのに追憶の破片を
敷き詰めたノートに
君の居ないページは無い

溢れだす涙 拭う頃 君はもう見えない
想う言葉は「ありがとう」
傷つけ合っては 何度も笑い合えたこと
絆を胸に秘め 僕も歩き出す

Akashi

Turn around and face the sunlight, look ahead
Can't walk properly with regret
Just barely able to wave at you as you disappear

If I spoke out, I'd only hold you back, murmuring in my heart
I to my dreams, and you to yours

Ordinary warmth
First realize it when it's gone
Embrace the solitude, find the strength to stride forth

Before the tears that well up obstruct your view
At least, with a smile, someday again
We've hurt and forgiven each other, time and time again
An irreplaceable testament to us

Even if I'm called selfish and criticized
Keep on wishing
Your voice will reach me, so long as you are you

If I were to succumb to my dreams, to give in
Please, scold me from afar, like you did that day

In the future you envision
There must be hope
Nobody can dictate your path
When you carry everything alone
And question your purpose in life
Recall that day, recall us

The frailty of a simple "see you later," a promise we can't keep
No matter how many we share, we never get used to it
Yet amidst fragments of memory
In a notebook filled with pages
There is no page without you

When the tears that overflow have subsided, you will be gone
The words in my mind, "thank you"
Though we have hurt and laughed together, time and time again
I set out on my journey, holding our bond in my heart
