石井竜也 Lyrics

焦る気持ちを押さえて
はがゆさと苛立たしさに 心乱れ
抱え込んだ膝小僧
悔しさをこらえて 涙に震えて
泣いた夜が明ける
そう
確かに君の言う通りだよ
つまらない意地を張り続けてる
歩き始めた以上 諦めない
もう一度 この手にチャンスを…
全てこの胸の中にしまっておこう
夢が叶うまで…
やるせない儚さに 身をゆだねるほど
そんな危うい時代に
あがいても手の届かない 岸を目指し
無我夢中で泳いだ
流れに逆らう 声も上げられない
行き止まりの場所で
そう
愛が全てを助けるとは 思わない
だけど君の微笑み
心を癒すその唇に
立ち上がる勇気を もらうのさ
もう一度 この手にチャンスを…
川の流れは今日も激しいけれど
君の手は離さない
いつも この胸の中の愛を信じていよう
夢が叶うまで…
そう
愛が全てを助けるとは 思わない
だけど君の微笑み
心を癒すその唇に
立ち上がる勇気を もらうのさ
確かに君の言う通りだよ
今なら引き返せるけれども
つまらない意地を張り続けてる
歩き始めた以上 諦めない
もう一度 この手にチャンスを…
川の流れは今日も激しいけれど
君の手は離さない
いつも この胸の中の愛を信じていよう
夢が叶うまで…

ENG VER. ↓↓
Nothing is going the way it should
I hastily subdue these feelings of impatience
All this anxiety and nervousness is sending my heart into disorder
Just a boy hugging his knees in the midst of it all
Shivering and in tears, I repress all my regret
I cried all night, but now it seems dawn is breaking...
So, undoubtedly you're right
Even though right now I may try to turn back
And I keep on being stubborn about it, though I know it's monotonous
I'll start walking again, this time even farther, and I won't give up
If I could get just one more chance...
I'll keep it all locked away in my heart
Until my dreams come true...
I surrendered myself to a dismal emptiness
in the most critical of times
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't quite reach
Aiming for the shore
I had to swim for my life
Withstanding the current, I can't even raise my voice
It could have been the end right there, but...
I don't think that love can save everything,
but there's something about your smile
that somehow healed my heart, and in your lips
I found the strength to stand up again
If only I could get just one more chance...
The flow of the river is intense even today
But I won't let go of your hand
I'll believe in the love that's in my heart forever
Until my dreams come true...

Found this english translation. Feel free to correct any mistakes, if there are some. :) This is probably one of my favorite song, of all time. I really love this song so much. Wanted to share so everyone can understand the meaning, and see just how beautiful and sad this song really is.

「確かに君の言うとおりだよ、今なら引き返せるけれども、つまらない意地を張り続けてる」
キラとアスランの心情を表してるような表現が好き。

SEEDの曲に合ってないと言ってた人が過去に居たけど、大人になってわかる曲。自分はこの曲とReasonを当時１番聴いていた。
