Текст и перевод песни Kenichi Takemoto - Akiramenaide

Akiramenaide

子供の頃に描いた夢を 大人になって忘れ去り
ときめく心いつしか消えて 今日も仕事に追われる
世間の波に流されのまれ つくろう笑顔おぼえて
生きてることの何かを求め 空を見上げてため息
あきらめないで 夢を追い続けて
あきらめないで 輝く人生を

むじゃきにはしゃぎ笑ったあの頃 本気で生きた青春を
感謝感動いつしか忘れ ただがむしゃらに働く
夢なら今も胸の中に そっと温め閉じ込めて
本当の自分探して求め 祈る未来にはばたく
あきらめないで 愛を信じぬいて
あきらめないで ときめく人生を

季節はめぐり やがて季節(とき)は変われど
明日にあこがれ そして今を生きる
あきらめないで 夢を追い続けて
あきらめないで 輝く人生を
あきらめないで 愛を信じぬいて
あきらめないで ときめく人生を
一度の人生を

Never Give Up

As a child, I dreamed of a life that now as an adult I have forgotten,
My heart once filled with excitement has dwindled, and now I am consumed by my work,
Drowning in the tides of society, I have learned to mask my true feelings,
As I wander through life, searching for purpose, I sigh and look up at the sky,
Never give up, continue chasing your dreams,
Never give up, live a life filled with passion,

Recalling the days when I laughed freely, when I truly lived during my youth,
I have forgotten the gratitude and wonder that once filled me, and now I only work,
Though my dreams still reside within my heart, I keep them locked away,
Searching for my true self, I pray for a future where I can soar,
Never give up, hold onto love,
Never give up, live a life filled with passion,

As the seasons change, so too must we,
Yearning for tomorrow, yet living in the present,
Never give up, continue chasing your dreams,
Never give up, live a life filled with passion,
Never give up, hold onto love,
Never give up, live a life filled with passion,
This is your one life,
