Mukae ni Ikuyo - Lyrics and Translation

[yuminami]

A pretty song. . . with melancholy music for a song that has a positive message. Translation-wise, it's interesting to see how the past, present, and future time aspects are used together here.

[yuminami]

[hutmahbut]

thank you...those lyrics are taking me from aback
the feeling of being lost between the past, present and (unknown) future self has hitting me hard yesterday evening...I felt like loosing sight of the track
maybe I write more in my LJ...
"I'll go on, for as long as this path continues, I'll move forward in a way I feel (is right)"
that could also be some kind of mantra...

That was the most difficult line in the song to translate ^^;; , but just like you, it's the line I love the most. I love how lyricists put their thoughts together and play with the phrases or alter the words a bit. . . that line is coupled w/ a nearly identical one: "I'll go on, for as long as this path continues, I'll move forward in a way I believe (is right)" <3!!

"to walk it" and "to move forward" in a way I believe (is right)
I guess that are two of the most difficult things to do - "how to and where to"...and there's no one you can ask - it's your own
I'm really thinking about those for the last few weeks/days, maybe years...but I have to take action - NOW, and that's exceptionally difficult

Wooow. Since the first time I heard this song I love its rythm, but I never imagined that it'd have such beautiful lyrics!!

From now on, I think it's going to be my favorite Arashi song.

Thank you so much for the translation.
