Hero
amazarashi Lyrics

食欲がないもんだからさ 別に小銭がない訳じゃないんだよ
Because I have no appetite, it doesn't mean I don't have spare change.

君の横顔を見ていると そういう事を言いたくなるんだよ
When I see your profile, I feel like saying such things.

もしも明日世界の危機が来て 僕が世界を救う役目だったら
If tomorrow the world is in crisis and I have the role to save it.

頑張れるのにな かっこいいのにな なんて空想だ なんて空想だ
Even though I can give my best, I can be cool, it's just a fantasy, just a fantasy.

そしたら
Then,

僕の亡骸 君が抱いて 泣きながら
You embrace my corpse while crying.

「やれば出来るんだね」って 呟いて
Whispering, 'You could have done it.'

いつだってヒーロー 笑われたっていいよ
Being laughed at as a hero is fine anytime.

人生は喜劇の 一幕の様なもんだろ
Life is like a scene in a comedy, isn't it?

「ここはまかせろ」 とは言ったものの
Even though I said, 'Leave it to me here.'

どうすりゃいいんだろう 断崖のヒーロー
What should I do? A hero on the cliff.

なんて言っても世界の危機なんて そうそう来るもんじゃないんだけど
Even though crises like a world crisis don't come often.

それなりの人生の危機ってやつは 僕なんかにも訪れるもんで
Crisis in one's own life also visits someone like me.

孤独になっても夢があれば 夢破れても元気があれば
Even if I become lonely, as long as I have dreams, even if my dreams shatter, as long as I have energy,

元気がなくても生きていれば
Even if I don't have energy, as long as I'm alive,

「生きていなくても」とかあいつらそろそろ言い出すぞ
They're about to start saying things like 'Even if one's not alive.'

そしたら
Then,

絶体絶命の危機の淵で
At the edge of a desperate crisis.

起死回生の一撃は きっと怒りか悲しみだ
The comeback blow is surely anger or sadness.

いつだってヒーロー 殴られたっていいよ
Being punched as a hero is fine anytime.

垂らした鼻血の色 田舎の根雪の白
The color of the dripping nosebleed is like the white of rural snow.

連敗続きの 擦り傷だらけの
Full of consecutive defeats, covered in scraped wounds.

挑戦者気取りの 断崖のヒーロー
A hero on the cliff acting like a challenger.

小銭数えて 逆算する人生も
Counting change, even a life calculated backwards.

追いつめられて 首括る人生も
Being cornered, a life with a noose around its neck.

もうよく聞く話しだ 驚かないよな
It's a story heard too many times, not surprising anymore.

今が世界の危機かもね 誰も選んじゃくれないけど
Maybe now is a crisis for the world, but nobody chooses it.

頑張れるかもな かっこいいかもな
I might be able to give my best, I might be cool.

ここでやれるんなら 今がまさにそうだ
If I can do it here, now is the perfect time.

どうせ「世界よ終われ」と願っても 世界はくそったれのまま 続いてく
No matter if I wish, 'World, come to an end,' the world will keep on as a damn mess.

誰だってヒーロー そんな訳はねえよ
Everyone can be a hero, but not like that.

いわゆる掃き溜めの ありふれた有象無象
So-called ordinary masses of the gatherers.

そこで負けねえと 言ったもん勝ちの
The one who said, 'I won't lose there,' wins.

よくある強がりの 「いつだってヒーロー」
A common bravado, 'Always a hero.'

絶体絶命の 絶望的状況
A desperate, hopeless situation.

それでも言い張るよ いつだってヒーロー
Even so, I insist, always a hero.
