Tabiji
Journey
words, music, and performed by Sasaki Yoshihide
ずっと探してる流れゆく時の中で
誰にも譲れない自分だけの居場所
Zutto sagashiteru nagare yuku toki no naka de
Dare ni mo yuzurenai jibun dake no ibasho
I'm always searching as time goes on
For the whereabouts of the me who won't surrender to anyone
生まれてから死ぬまでに何を残せるかな
自分の足跡この世界に
どれくらい残せるかな
Umarete kara shinu made ni nani wo nokoseru ka na
Jibun no ashiato kono sekai ni
Dore kurai nokoseru ka na
From the day I was born till the day I die, what will I leave behind?
In this world, my footsteps
Will that be what's left?
古い地図は捨ててあの海を超えてゆこう
風を追い抜いてどこまでも波の彼方まで
遠く果てしなくこの道を進めばいつか見えてくるはずさ
突き進め虹の彼方まで
行く先は未来
Furui chizu wa sutete ano umi wo koete yukou
Kaze wo oinuite doko made mo nami no kanata made
Tooku hateshinaku kono michi wo susumeba itsuka miete kuru hazu sa
Tsukisusume niji no kanata made
Yuku saki wa mirai
I throw away this old map and cross that sea
The wind passes me by, until wherever the waves take me
If I go on this long and never-ending road, until I someday see
The rainbow in the distance
That goal is the future
何度も読んだ文字ボロボロの手紙の答え
見つけた時にはもう月日は経ちすぎていた
Nandomo yonda moji boroboro no tegami no kotae
Mitsuketa toki ni wa mou tsukihi wa tachisugiteita
The answer to this worn-out letter that I've read so many times
When I found it, the days had gone by too fast
生まれ育った街並みに
背を向けてあれから
どれくらい経ったろう
まだまだこの旅路は続いてく
Umare sodatta machinami ni
Se wo mukete are kara
Dore kurai tattarou
Mada mada kono tabiji wa tsudzuiteku
The town where I grew up
Since I've turned my back on it
I wonder how much time has passed
This journey still goes on
道が無くても自分で作ればいいだけさ
今は戻らないって誰かが言ってたっけ
夢中で追いかけてたデカい背中も今は小さな通過点
どこまでも乗り越えてゆくよ
その先は未来
Michi ga nakutemo jibun de tsukureba ii dake sa
Ima wa modoranai tte dare ka ga ittetakke
Muchuu de oikaketeta dekai senaka mo ima wa chiisa na tsuuka-ten
Doko made mo norikoete yuku yo
Sono saki wa mirai
Even if there's no road to follow, it's okay even if I just make it myself
Someone once told me, "the present can't come back"
In a daze, even the big back I was chasing now seems a small path
I go to overcome it wherever it may lead
That goal is the future
