Within this literal
Concrete jungle
Hey, is there a city
That’s more surreal than this one?
They call us
Cute, but lying beneath that
Is a cruelty that outsiders
Don’t know
Just like a snake coiled
Around a beautiful flower
Faraway, fly away
With you, try again
We can make it come true
To be scorched by dreams
That’s already long in the past
Now, aside from reality
Nothing else can charm us
So, you and I
Let’s survive
That person with the kind smile
Whom we always pass by
What if
That was his crying face?
Such constrained
Sorrow is overflowing
More, fly away
Then, try again
I know we can be saviours
I’m not talking about the earth
Or anything overly ambitious
Maybe just for the girl next door
So, you and I
Let’s survive
Within this literal
Concrete jungle
Hey, is there a city
That’s more surreal than this one?
They call us
Cute, but lying beneath that
Is a cruelty that outsiders
Don’t know
Faraway, fly away
With you, try again
We can make it come true
To be scorched by dreams
That’s already long in the past
Now, aside from reality
Nothing else can charm us
So, you and I
Let’s survive

Mojidoori no
Konkuriito janguru de
Nee koko yori mo
Shuuru na machi tte aru?
Iwayuru
Kawaii no oku ni hisonda
Zankokusa wo soto no hito-tachi wa
Shiranai
Sore wa utsukushii hana ni
Hebi ga maki tsuku you de
Tooku fly away
Kimi to try again
Bokura nara kanae rareru yo
Yume ni kogareta no wa mou
Itsuka no tooi mukashi
Kono koro ja riaru ni shika
Hikarenai
Dakara kimi to boku wa
Iki nukou
Yoku sure chigau
Yasashii egao no ano hito
Moshikashitara
Are wa nakigao datta kana?
Konna kyuukutsu na
Kanashimi ga afureteiru yo
Motto fly away
Soshite try again
Bokura nara sukueru ki ga suru
Chikyuu toka sonna daisoreta
Koto wo itterun ja nai
Tatoeba tonari no ano ko toka
Dakara kimi to boku wa
Iki nukou
Mojidoori no
Konkuriito janguru de

文字通りの
コンクリートジャングルで
ねぇ此処よりも
シュールな街ってある?
いわゆる
カワイイの奥に潜んだ
残酷さを外の人達は
知らない
それは美しい花に
蛇が巻き付く様で
遠くfly away
君とtry again
僕らなら叶えられるよ
夢に焦がれたのはもう
いつかの遠い昔
この頃じゃリアルにしか
惹かれない
だから君と僕は
生き抜こう
よくすれ違う
優しい笑顔のあの人
もしかしたら
あれは泣き顔だったかな?
こんな窮屈な
哀しみが溢れているよ
もっとfly away
そしてtry again
僕らなら救える気がする
地球とかそんな大それた
事を言ってるんじゃない
例えば隣のあの子とか
だから君と僕は
生き抜こう

hey thanks, nameless, faceless translator.
what a weird line, huh?
smiling face is a crying face? sounds like mental reversal.
