Текст и перевод песни KMC - 希望の歌

希望の歌

思ったよりも何も起きない毎日を
窮屈だと思ったのはいつからだろう
やりたいこと探すより無理して背伸びするより
やりたくないことを避けるのに精一杯で、でも失敗で、何も変わらぬまま
目の前の現実にのまれて当たり前の波に流されて、だけど溺れないよに泳ぐ僕をいつか誇れますように
しまいこんだ文集に書いた将来と今が違っても
ちゃんとあの日の僕に大丈夫だと胸を張れますように
小さかった頃はどおしてあんなにも
はやく大人になりたいと思っていたのかな
自転車は置いたまんまで今日は歩いて帰ろう今までの事これからの事想像して昨日よりもちょっと上を向いて
四角いこんな空じゃ測れない
星ならとおに夢を見ていたい
傷つくのは怖いけどきっとそれも僕が生きている証
目の前の現実にのまれて当たり前の波に流されて
だけど溺れないよに泳ぎ辿りつく場所は間違いじゃ無い
怯えてた新しい世界を覗きたくて背伸びしてみたら
届くはずない光に伸ばした手が少しだけ触れた気がした
本当はずっと気づいてたんだ
振り返ってももう会えない事
そんなあの日の僕にありがとうって叫んで行くよ未来へ

Song of Hope

Every day, nothing happens like you thought it would,
Since when have you felt so constricted?
Instead of searching for what you want, you'd rather reach too high,
You exhaust yourself avoiding what you don't want, but you fail, and nothing changes at all.
I hope that someday I'll be able to be proud of myself for swimming through the inevitable waves without drowning, pushed around by the cruel reality.
Even if the future you wrote in your journal when you were young is different from the present,
I hope I'll be able to assure the me from that day that everything is okay.
When I was little, I wondered why I wanted to
Become an adult so badly.
I'll leave my bike and walk home today, thinking about the past and the future, looking up a little higher than yesterday.
This square sky isn't enough for me to measure up,
I want to dream of the distant stars.
I'm afraid of getting hurt, but I know that's part of living.
I'm drowning in the reality, being pushed around by the waves,
But I know I won't drown, and the place I'll reach won't be a mistake.
I was afraid to peek into the new world, but when I stretched out my hand,
I felt like I had just barely touched the unreachable light.
I've always known,
That I'll never meet you again.
To the me from that day, I'll yell out as I run towards the future, "Thank you".
