Prince of Tennis - Echizen Ryoma Lyrics

kimi ha kitto onaji mainichi ni
You surely are someone who can find peace in the same daily routine.

anshin dekiru hito nanda ne
You are someone who can handle anything with ease.

dakedo nani ka motomete tatakau
But you fight for something that you want.

tanoshisa ni ha kitsukanai yo
You don't find joy in just having fun.

ochiru yuuhi mitsumenagara
While gazing at the setting sun as it falls,

shizumu mono mo utsukushii to
Even the things that fade away are beautiful.

sore de kokoro yasugarunara
If their beauty can bring you peace,

sore demo ii kedo
Then it is fine.

boku ha zutto ue wo mezashiteku
I've always aimed high,

soko kara shika mienai mono wo miru tame ni
In order to see what can only be seen from there.

natsuku mono mo kakugo dekite iru
I am prepared for the things that will burn brightly.

koenakya naranai mono itsuka koeru tame ni
To overcome the things that I must not lose to someday.

kimi ha itsu mo onaji michi toori
You are always on the same path,

shiranai roji ha mimoshinai ne
Never looking at unfamiliar streets.

dakedo tama ni maigo ni naru mono
But sometimes you get lost

tanoshii deai mitsukerareru
That's when you find fun encounters.

hitori aruku kodoku na ou no
As a lonely king walking alone,

michi ha zutto hatenai kedo
The path will never end,

sore de kokoro tsubureru nara
If it would break your heart,

sore dake no koto sa
That's all there is to it.

boku ha zutto ue wo mezashiteku
I've always aimed high,

soko kara shika mienai mono wo miru tame ni
In order to see what can only be seen from there.

kitsuku no mo kakugo dekite iru
I am prepared to struggle as well.

dare yori mo takai bashou noboritsumeru tame ni
To climb to a place higher than anyone else.
