Life is Beautiful
amazarashi Lyrics

何がどうなって ここに立ってるんだ
The singer finds himself standing here wondering how everything turned out this way.

時々われに帰って 首をかしげるんだ
At times, the singer finds himself stunned, immobile and unsure of how to take the next step.

歌うのが好きな少年だった
The singer was a young boy who loved to sing.

だけどそれを誰にもいえない気弱な子だった
He was a timid boy who was afraid to share his passion for singing with anyone.

久しぶりだな そっちはどうだ?
The singer greets someone he hasn't seen in a long time and wonders how they've been doing lately.

元気してんなら 別にそれでいいんだ
The singer is content if they're doing well, anything else is secondary.

つまらねぇ愚痴は 言いっこなしだ 昔話もたまにはいいか
Don't talk about insignificant worries, instead let's catch up on some old stories.

わいは今も歌っているんだ
The singer still sings his heart out, even now.

暗い歌ばかり歌いやがってと人は言うが
People accuse him of singing only dark songs.

ぜってぇまけねぇって 気持ちだけで
He won't give up no matter what because it is his resolve that keeps him going through life's hardships.

今まで ここまで やってきたんだ
This is how far he has come in his journey.

これだけは本気でゆずれないんだ
This is the one thing he won't give up.

背負ってるものが増えすぎたようだ
The weight of responsibilities he carries feels like it's gotten heavier.

夢を諦めた人 捨てた人 叶えられず死んだ人 覚えているか?
He wonders if we can all remember those people who gave up, lost their dreams, or died before they could achieve their goals.

あっけなく命や夢が消える星で
On a planet where lives and dreams can easily disappear without a trace,

ありふれた良くある悲しい話
It's a common and sad story that is often heard in this world.

そんなもんに飽きもせず泣き笑い 人生は美しい
Yet, even though the pain and sadness is overwhelming at times, life is still a thing of beauty.

一つを手に入れて一つを失くして
The singer has gained and lost so much throughout his life - the perpetual cycle of gaining and losing.

いつも何か足りないって泣いている
Despite this cycle, he cries for something that he believes will complete him.

だけど後悔なんてしてやるものか 人生は美しい
But why would he regret when life is still beautiful?

いつもの居酒屋で はしゃぎすぎた
The singer recalls the days spent in his favorite pub with too much noise and fun in the past.

始発で帰る馬鹿達を 太陽が照らした
The sun shone on the foolish ones who decided to call it a night and head home early.

「俺らの夜明けがやってきたんだ」
Some of his friends declared that their dawn was just around the corner.

誰かが言った 頭は痛いが 妙に笑えた
One of his friends said this, and even though the singer had a headache, he laughed.

そんな日々も 今はもう遠い あの頃のギターは埃をかぶってた
Those days are far behind them now - the memories left collecting in the form of dust on the guitar he used to play.

けどな これだけは絶対言える 俺らの夜明けはもうすぐそこだ
But he can say this for sure - they're almost at the cusp of making their dreams come true.

信じた人や物が過ぎ去る街で
In a city where everything and everyone he believed in has faded away,

ありふれたどこにでもある悔し涙
It's a common thing to feel helpless and upset.

そんなもんに未だに突き動かされる 人生は美しい
Yet, despite this, he is still filled with boundless energy and awe - life still remains beautiful.

ファミレスで喧嘩したぶりのあいつが
A friend they fought with at the family restaurant before,

電車に向かって手をふり続けていた
They wave continuously as they ride away, slowly becoming smaller until they disappear into the distance.

過ぎてゆく景色 二度と振り向かないよ 人生は美しい
As the scenery passes him by in a blur, he decides that life is still beautiful, and he will not regret his past anymore.

こんな時間か そろそろ帰るか?
He realizes it's getting late and maybe it's time to head home?

なんだ帰りたくないって まぁ わいも同じだが
Yet, he doesn't feel like returning home atm, but it seems to be the right thing to do.. he knows it.

不安は多いが 進むべきだ 情熱一つで何でもできるはずさ
Even though he's anxious about what might come, he is certain of his ability to forge ahead with his passion for life.

東京 青森 路上 ライブハウス
From the bustling city of Tokyo to the small town of Aomori, he has played in both the streets and the big stage.

きっと場所なんてどこでも良かった
The singer muses that location hardly mattered as long as he had his cherished guitar in his hands.

歌う場所はどこでもいいぜ 歌う歌がわいの歌なら
As long as they were singing their own songs, he could perform anywhere.

悔し涙振りほどいて叫んだ歌
A song that came from the pain he had bottled up and the tears he had shed.

大事なものは二度と離さないよ
He promises to never let go of the things that mattered to him most.

振り向くな後ろには花も咲かねぇ 人生は美しい
He decides to leave his past behind, not unlike how flowers shed their petals, and begins to look forward towards the sun once more as it rises to paint the sky anew.

じゃあなまたな身体だけは気をつけろよ
As he leaves whoever he was speaking to behind, he cracks a joke, asking them to ensure he doesn't crash on his way home.

しっかり歩けよふらついてるぜ
He steadies himself and begins to take steady steps.

見ろよもう朝日が昇ってきた 人生は美しい
As he walks, the sun awakens and seems to greet him anew - life is indeed beautiful.

人生は美しい 美しい
Life is beautiful, so beautiful.

人生は美しい oh
Life is beautiful indeed, oh yeah!
