This is such a beautiful song about overcoming sadness and learning to have the courage to change your life and smile again.
Original Japanese: Utaten
English Translation
Waves of people in too much of a hurry
It seems like they’ve lost sight of themselves
The setting sun that shines from the top of the bridge
Envelopes us
The small things (pride) we protect (desperately)
Decide not to run away
Decide to find proof by searching for answers
Chance to Change mind
Go beyond tomorrow, embrace everything even the sadness
You’re fine just the way you are, it’s better to run desperately than to be too beautiful
Chance to Change mind
The thing you must protect more than anything is the freedom to live
The light that shines towards this never ending journey is proof our dreams
The scenery on these changing streets
It seems like we walked them together with you
The shining stars we looked up at in the sky
Show us the path we continue down
The small things (courage) will one day (shine)
Have faith
Decide to find proof by searching for answers
Chance to Change mind
Let’s scream until we are heard, before long our sadness will also turn to smiles
We’re fine just the way we are, it’s better to run desperately than to be too beautiful
Chance to Change mind
There is no such thing as a rain that doesn’t end, hold the truth in your heart
The light that shines towards this never ending journey is proof our dreams
An eternal flower of blossoming tears
Your irreplaceable smile
It’s fine to go one step at a time, we will walk with you
Chance to Change mind
Go beyond tomorrow, embrace everything even the sadness
You’re fine just the way you are, it’s better to run desperately than to be too beautiful
Chance to Change mind
The thing you must protect more than anything is the freedom to live
The light that shines towards this never ending journey is proof our dreams
