風に立つ
坂本冬美 Lyrics

青嵐(せいらん)に吹かれて 胸をはる 日もあれば
Sometimes we feel proud when we are embraced by the cool breeze of the blue storm.

雨風にたたかれて 頭(こうべ)をたれる ときもある
At times we feel defeated when we are hit by the storm of rain and wind, and we bow our heads in submission.

人はこの世に 生きてあるかぎり 山坂千里の 九十九(つづら)折り
As long as we are alive in this world, we will face countless twists and turns like the winding mountain paths.

そうさ、人生やるっきゃないさ
That's right, we have to live our lives to the fullest.

朔風(さくふう)が吹いても 向かい風 吹こうとも
Even if we face the biting cold wind, or we encounter strong headwinds, we must keep going without hesitation or faltering.

たじろがずくじけずに 前だけ見つめ 行くがいい
It's better to keep moving forward, without flinching, without getting discouraged or intimidated, and to focus on the road ahead.

泥にまみれて 涙ながしても こころに錦の 華をもて
Even if we get dirty, even if we shed tears, we must still carry the beautiful flowers of hope and joy in our hearts.

うつりゆく時代の 波風に のまれても 騒がずに嘆かずに 最善つくし 立ち向かえ
Even if we are buffeted by the waves of the changing times, we should never fret or lament, but rather do our best and face the challenges head-on.

ままにならない 茨道(いばらみち)なれど それでも行かねば ならぬ道
Even if the path is rough and thorny, and we cannot afford to be complacent or idle, we still have to keep going since there's no other way forward.

そうさ、人生やるっきゃないさ
That's right, we have to live our lives to the fullest.
