Stronger
AK-69 Lyrics

カーテンが赤く染まる
The dawn sky is painted red and the curtains change color accordingly.

朝焼けが迎えに来たよオヤジ
I feel like the sunrise has come to take me away, Dad.

I'm gonna be stronger,
I am determined to become stronger.

I wanna be stronger
My desire is to grow stronger.

永遠にこの胸に宿る
This feeling will remain forever in my heart.

ほら なぁ俺が見えてるかオヤジ
Look, Dad, can you see me now?

I gotta be stronger
I have to become stronger.

I'm faded
I am feeling weak and depleted.

もう飲み込めてるはずなのに
I thought I had already swallowed it down, but...

溢れ出して来る涙がノートに溜まり
Tears keep overflowing and they're soaking my notebook.

なぁ会いたいよ
Hey, I miss you so much.

俺なら相変わらずのBoss life
I'll keep living my life as a boss like usual.

強がる笑みの裏 命削るから
Behind my fake smile lies the truth that's eating away at my life.

Ain't nobody
There's no one like you who can be strong like this.

あなたのように強がれる人はいない
No one can be as strong as you.

でもいつの間にかバカにしてた...
But somehow, I became foolish and took it for granted...

(ピエロのよう)
(Like a clown)

あなたのように
Like you.

最期の時 気勝に振る舞えはしない
At the end, I won't be able to put on a brave face.

今更知ったよ
I realized it too late.

ごめんな あなたの強さ
I'm sorry for not appreciating your strength.

二人きりの病室で寝よう
Let's sleep together in this hospital room, just the two of us.

どれくらいぶりかなんて 覚えてねぇよ
I can't remember the last time we slept together.

母ちゃんにも内緒の事
Something I haven't told Mom.

打ち明けるもんで
I have to tell you.

バラすんじゃねぇぞ
Don't tell anyone else, though.

これが最後の約束なのか
Is this our final promise?

知らず眠る任せろよ後は
Just let me sleep without knowing what's to come.

呼吸器のみ音立てる5時
Only the sound of the ventilator at 5 o'clock.

虚しく近づく別れの時
The moment of separation is approaching and it feels empty.

認めたくねぇもんで外へ出よう
I don't want to accept it, so let's go outside.

子供のように泣きたくねぇよ
I don't want to cry like a child.

女を泣かせてばかりの俺を
I, who only made women cry.

流石息子だと笑ってくれよ
At least you can laugh that I'm still your son.

38年で何教わった
What have I learned in 38 years?

死に目に気づくようじゃ遅かった
Realizing it only when death is near is too late.

地獄の苦しさの中
Amidst the pain of hell,

家族に愛捧ぐ強さ教わった
I learned the strength of dedicating myself to my family.

その火が消える時
When the flames go out,

最後に見えたモノそれは何?
What did I see last?

生きようとしてるその手を
I am trying to live and I hold on to that hand,

消えゆく炎の中でも
Even amidst the disappearing flames.

(掴んで話しかけるよ
(I hold on and talk to you,

今まで本当ありがとう)
Thank you for everything until now.)

俺にいってぇ何を宿した?
Tell me, what did you pass on to me?

今更知ったよ ごめんな...
I realized it too late, I'm sorry...

優しさとは強さ
Kindness is strength.
