Текст и перевод песни May J. - 手紙 ~拝啓 十五の君へ~

手紙 ~拝啓 十五の君へ~

拝啓 この手紙読んでいるあなたは どこで何をしているのだろう

十五の僕には誰にも話せない 悩みの種があるのです

未来の自分に宛てて書く手紙なら
きっと素直に打ち明けられるだろう

今 負けそうで 泣きそうで 消えてしまいそうな僕は
誰の言葉を信じ歩けばいいの？
ひとつしかないこの胸が何度もばらばらに割れて
苦しい中で今を生きている
今を生きている

拝啓 ありがとう 十五のあなたに伝えたい事があるのです

自分とは何でどこへ向かうべきか 問い続ければ見えてくる

荒れた青春の海は厳しいけれど
明日の岸辺へと 夢の舟よ進め

今 負けないで 泣かないで 消えてしまいそうな時は
自分の声を信じ歩けばいいの
大人の僕も傷ついて眠れない夜はあるけど
苦くて甘い今を生きている

人生の全てに意味があるから 恐れずにあなたの夢を育てて

Keep on believing

Keep on believing
Keep on believing
Keep on believing

負けそうで 泣きそうで 消えてしまいそうな僕は
誰の言葉を信じ歩けばいいの？
ああ 負けないで 泣かないで 消えてしまいそうな時は
自分の声を信じ歩けばいいの
いつの時代も悲しみを避けては通れないけれど
笑顔を見せて 今を生きていこう
今を生きていこう

拝啓 この手紙読んでいるあなたが
幸せな事を願います

A Letter ~Dear Fifteen-Year-Old You~

My dear, as you read this letter, where are you and what are you doing?

As a fifteen-year-old, there are troubles I can't tell anyone.

If I write a letter to my future self,
I'll surely be able to open up and tell you honestly.

Right now, I'm about to give up, about to cry, about to disappear, but
Whose words should I believe and follow?
My one and only heart has been shattered into pieces,
and I'm living in pain right now.
I'm living right now.

My dear, thank you. I have something to tell you, fifteen-year-old you.

Continue to question who you are and where you're headed, and you'll find the answers.

The raging sea of adolescence is harsh,
but set sail towards tomorrow's shore, my ship of dreams.

Right now, don't lose, don't cry, and when you feel like disappearing,
Believe in your own voice and keep walking.
Even I, as an adult, have nights when I can't sleep because I'm hurting,
but I'm living through this bittersweet present.

Your dreams keep you going because there's meaning in everything in life, so

Keep on believing.

Keep on believing.
Keep on believing.
Keep on believing.

I'm about to give up, about to cry, about to disappear, but
Whose words should I believe and follow?
Oh, don't lose, don't cry, and when you feel like disappearing,
Believe in your own voice and keep walking.
Sadness is inevitable, no matter the era,
but smile and live in the present.
Live in the present.

My dear, as you read this letter,
I wish you all the happiness in the world.
