孤独なTraveler (Kodoku na Traveler) – Lonely Traveler

from Kawaita sakebi single.

——

The flowing clouds and the stars in the nightsky
Only days of youth would allow us to think them within reach
I laughed, covered in mud, each day so short

Getting familiar with my fellow comrades and society
Saying “there’s no choice but to give in” with a serious expression
This is so different from the self I wanted to become

Always speaking excuses, everyone is a lonely Traveler
I can’t go on like this
Even with the strength to fight, as life passes by…
The train I’ve jumped on with a look of defeat will surely not move

There are nights when I cried, unknown to anyone
It’ll be great if I could feel nostalgia for those times someday, but
I learnt when I got hurt, that you bring trouble

The world continues to spin, everyone is a lonely Traveler
Even if this heart keeps falling
I’ll spread open a new map and search for a place of peace
Every day is a one-way ticket, can’t go back

I want to meet someone to share my feelings with, but
There are nights of pain when I’m left alone

Without a destination, everyone is a lonely Traveler

Against this futile limited time
I take up the challenge once again

Nagareru kumo ya yozora no hoshi sae mo
Te ga todoku to shinjite irareta osanaki hibi yo
Dorodarake de waratta ichinichi ga mijikakatta

Nakamatachi mo shakai ni najinde kite
“Dakyou suru no mo shikata ga nai” to majime na kao de itta
Naritakatta jibun no sugata to amari ni mo chigatte shimatta

Iiwake bakari shiteita daremo ga kodoku na Traveler
Konomama ja dame ni narisou de
Tatakau kiryoku wa aru keredo nagasarete yuku kurashi ni…
Akirameta kao shite tobi noru ressha wa kitto ugokanai

Hitoshirezu naita yoru mo arunda
Itsuka wa natsukashii to omou toki kuru nara ii keredo
Kizutsuita kara wakatta kimi datte nayandeta koto wo

Sekai wa mawari tsuzukeru daremo ga kodoku na Traveler
Kono kokoro korogaru bakari demo
Aratana chizu wo hirogete yasuragu basho wo sagasou
Mainichi wa katamichi kippu de atomodori deki ya shinai

Kimochi wo wakachi aeru dareka ni deaitai no ni
Hitorikiri tsurai yoru mo aru kara

Ikisaki mayotteiru daremo ga kodoku na Traveler

Muda ni shinai kagiri aru jikan wo
Boku wa mou ichido charenji suru yo

流れる雲や夜空の星さえも
手が届くと信じていられた幼き日々よ
泥だらけで笑った　一日が短かった

仲間たちも社会に馴染んできて
「妥協するのも仕方がない」と真面目な顔で言った
なりたかった自分の姿と　あまりにも違ってしまった

言い訳ばかりしていた　誰もが孤独なTraveler
このままじゃダメになりそうで
戦う気力はあるけれど　流されてゆく生活（くらし）に・・・
あきらめた顔して飛び乗る　列車はきっと動かない

人知れず泣いた夜もあるんだ
いつかは懐かしいと思う時　来るならいいけれど
傷ついたからわかった　君だって悩んでたことを

世界は廻り続ける　誰もが孤独なTraveler
この心　転がるばかりでも
新たな地図を広げて　安らぐ場所を探そう
毎日は片道切符で　後戻り出来やしない

気持ちを分かちあえる　誰かに出会いたいのに
一人きり辛い夜もあるから

行き先迷っている　誰もが孤独なTraveler

無駄にしない　限りある時間を
僕はもう一度挑戦（チャレンジ）するよ
