M.T.に捧ぐ (M.T. ni sasagu) – A gift for M.T.
from Kimi wa melody single.
——
The girl I’ve seen at that faraway place that day
Did she really climb such a slope?
A steep incline, unable to see ahead
Days of tough walking over stones…
Ah, carrying a burden
Heavier than anyone else
In order to encourage
Comrades that are in danger of straying
Ah, I can’t be you
Too late, I think of that
If it’s just an admirable dream
It’ll definitely be easier if I just give it up
But, when such times come
I always remember that tiny back
Choosing not to speak through your tears
A shadow earnestly walking on
If she can see the person I am now
She’ll probably scold and say “Don’t whine
We won’t leave anyone behind
And I’ll surely show you the best scenery”…
Ah, standing at the forefront
Is always lonely
Without a single person around
To hold a discussion with
Ah, I can’t be you
I lose confidence in myself
How can you be so sure
Living as you face tomorrow?
Yes, I remember your sweat
They weren’t shed in comfort
There is no shortcut
As you faced straight forward
No matter the pain
Because you are watching from somewhere
I need to progress, can’t back down
Aiming for ever higher mountains
I’ll walk on
Ah, I can’t be you
Too late, I think of that
If it’s just an admirable dream
It’ll definitely be easier if I just give it up
But, when such times come
I always remember that tiny back
Choosing not to speak through your tears
A shadow earnestly walking on
I hope that someday, you will praise me
