Ima Wo Ikiru
C&K Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

世界がもしも今日で
終わりを告げるというなら
どうやって どうやって
過ごすのだろう
答えを探しました
考えれば考えるほど
単純に 単純に 君が浮かんだ
いつだって そうやって
考えれば 本当に
大切なものなんて
簡単に失くさないさ
どうして 僕らは皆 言うんですか
どうして 明日明日って
今感じる愛情が思い出になる前に
僕は歌う 君に今を歌う
最後に笑いたくて
僕らは悪戦苦闘して
いつだって いつだって
生きてるけど
大きな壁があって
何度もぶつかっているうちに
情熱を先送り 目を閉じる
今日なんです
泣いたっていいんだって
負けたっていいんだって
逃げなきゃ 何だって
夢だって 終わらないさ
どうして 僕らは皆 言うんですか
どうして 明日明日って
今感じる情熱が思い出になる前に
声をあらげ 心 今を歌え
完全な太陽が僕らに
明日という名の安心を届け
希望 未来 抱き
それが時に甘えとなって
大切な人に囁く
愛の言葉や抱擁さえ忘れ
夢も忘れ やがて何か掴む
それは 後悔なんです
あの時 どうして
なんで もっと出来たって
悔やんで 今日もそう言って
泣き出した感情が
明日に逃げる前に
僕は歌う 今を ここに
決して 昨日は変えられないけれど
未来を 変えるのは今日です
明日への招待が




僕らに来なくたって
笑えるように 心 今を歌え

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "Ima Wo Ikiru" by C&K. The lyrics express a reflection on life and its uncertainties. The singer ponders how they would spend their time if they were told that the world was ending today, searching for answers and realizing that the simple answer is that thoughts of a loved one come to mind. They question why everyone always talks about tomorrow, when the love they feel in the present could become a memory. They sing to the person they love, wanting to laugh together one last time. Despite the constant struggles in life, they acknowledge that they are still alive, facing big obstacles and bumping into them repeatedly. In the process, they may postpone their passion and close their eyes, but they assert that today is the day to cry if needed, to lose if necessary, and to never give up, as dreams never end. They ask why everyone always talks about tomorrow when the passion they feel now could become a memory, urging to raise their voice and sing about the present moment from their heart. They mention the significance of the sun, which brings peace for tomorrow, as it delivers hope and embraces the future. They hint that sometimes clinging to hope and the comfort of loved ones may lead to forgetting even the words of love and the embrace, as well as forgetting dreams, but eventually, they will grasp something and it will be regret. They regret not being able to do more at a specific time and express sadness and tears before their emotions escape into tomorrow. In the end, they sing about living in the present, as yesterday cannot be changed, but it is today that changes the future. Their invitation to tomorrow may not come, but they strive to be able to laugh and sing about the present from their heart.
