Текст и перевод песни Kobukuro - バトン

バトン

その命が走り出す為に 数えきれない程の
走者達が繋いできてくれた 一本のバトンには
握りしめて窪んだ跡や 何度も落とした傷
生き抜いた その証を受け取って
この坂道を 駆け上がるんだ
いつかは君も 誰かに手渡すときが来る
まだ何も見えない 小さな手のひらに
振り向かなくていいように ゆっくりと渡すよ
真っ直ぐ 力一杯 走り出せるように

Baton

For that life to begin to run, countless
Runners have passed it along, this one baton
The indents left by gripping it, the scars from dropping it countless times
Proof of having lived, received by me
I will sprint up this slope
Someday, you too will have to pass it on to someone
Into those small palms that still cannot see anything
I will pass it gently, so that you won't have to turn around
So that you can run straight ahead with all your might
