上球物語 -Carpe diem- (Joukyuu monogatari -Carpe diem-) – Earth landing story -Carpe diem-
from 5TH DIMENSION album.
——
Today again, the Sun’s flares send someone on a journey to a faraway star
Born and raised on the Sun, we are an ageing society
We are the Sun people, an endangered species
The blue star in the night sky, swaying memories
Emitting pale light, it’s still in its youth
Desperate, my scattered emotions line up one by one
We need to go to Earth, embracing a future noone spoke of
Sink or swim. No, we’re a declining population
In order to survive, we escape the Sun, once in a lifetime
Carpe diem em em
Let tomorrow take care of itself. Anxiety and fear
Kick them out-out-out-out
Exhaust the smoldering fire in our hearts
Memento mori mori mori
Bet our lives or someone else will throw the dice
Qus sera sera sera
Boldly, desperately
We realize that we can’t progress on my own
Dabadoo-bidoo-bida-bada-ba
Aah, doobi-doobi-dabada-doobi-doobi-dabada
Trembling with fear, we don’t want to be left behind
At a total loss, it’s nobody’s fault that our fates are entwined
In the end, it’s our choice. We won’t turn back, even on a thorny path
Press on, while embracing pain and jealousy
In order to survive, we escape the Sun, once in a lifetime
Carpe diem em em
Let tomorrow take care of itself. Anxiety and fear
Kick them out-out-out-out
Exhaust the smoldering fire in our hearts
Memento mori mori mori
Bet our lives or someone else will throw the dice
Qus sera sera sera
Boldly, desperately
Move our bodies instead of thinking
Trial and error, rising after repeated failures
Rather than no no no no, it’s go go go go, go go on a journey
As we took off, our legs trembled
Can’t stop the shivering, but no worry, it’s with excitement
Bonds of complaints and excuses
Abandon these days like broken shells
Fly before this passion disappears Hallelujah
These tears spilling over will one day become happy tears
Let tomorrow take care of itself. Anxiety and fear
Kick them out-out-out-out
Qus sera sera sera sera sera se
Exhaust and burn it all
Memento mori mori mori
Bet our lives or someone else will throw the dice. Enjoy the present
Qus sera sera sera sera sera se
Exhaust and burn it all
Memento mori mori mori
Bet our lives and throw the dice
Qus sera sera sera
Boldly, desperately, as we please
Carpe diem em
Memento mori mori mori mori mori mori
Let’s live

Notes:
1. Carpe diem: to urge someone to make the most of the present time and give little thought to the future
2. Qus sera sera: to convey a fatalistic recognition that future events are out of the speaker’s control
3. Memento mori: an object kept as a reminder of the inevitability of death
4. In the chorus, the line “kechirase rase rase rase” is an oronym of “qus sera sera”.

太陽フレアの波 今日も誰か旅立つ遠くの星へと
太陽生まれ育ち 高齢化が進んだ
絶滅危惧種のWe are太陽人
夜空に青い星 揺れる思い出たち
淡く 光放つ 青春時代
絶対絶命 散らばってる感情 一個ずつ並べてく
やっぱ地球いかなきゃ 誰にも言えない 抱く 未来
伸るか反るか イヤだ過疎化 だけど
生き抜くため脱太陽 人生 一度
Carpe diem em em
明日は明日の風吹く 不安 恐れ
蹴散らせらせらせらせ
心に燻る炎 燃やし 尽くせ
Memento mori mori mori
命は使いきらなきゃ 賽は投げられたぞ
Qus sera sera sera
大胆必死
自分だけが前進出来てない気がする
ダーバドゥビドゥビダバダバ
嗚呼 ドゥビドゥビダバダドゥビドゥビダバダ
取り残されたくないよ 戦々恐々
五里霧中 絡まってる運命 誰かのせいにしない
結局自分次第さ 茨の道でも 引き返さない
痛み妬み 全て抱え 進め
生き抜くため脱太陽 人生 一度
Carpe diem em em
明日は明日の風吹く 不安 恐れ
蹴散らせらせらせらせ
心に燻る炎 燃やし 尽くせ
Memento mori mori mori
命は使いきらなきゃ 賽は投げられたぞ
Qus sera sera sera
大胆必死
考えるより 体を動かせ
トライ＆エラー 七転び八起き
駄目駄目駄目駄目より行け行け行け行け 行け行け旅立て
飛び立つ瞬間 足すくんだ
震えが止まらないよ だいじょうぶ武者震いさ
泣き言 言い訳 しがらみ
抜け殻 みたいな 毎日捨て去れ
この情熱が 消えないうちに 飛べ Hallelujah
零れ落ちる涙を いつの 日にか 嬉し涙にするよ
明日は明日の風吹く 不安 恐れ
蹴散らせらせらせらせ
Qus sera sera sera sera sera se
それそれ 燃やし 尽くせ
Memento mori mori mori
命は使いきらなきゃ 賽は投げられたぞ 今を楽しめ
Qus sera sera sera sera sera se
それそれ 燃やし 尽くせ
Memento mori mori mori
命は使いきらなきゃ 賽は投げてしまえ
Qus sera sera sera
大胆必死 縦横無尽
Carpe diem em
Memento mori mori mori mori mori mori
生きよう
