悲しいこんな日々もいつかは
笑って話せる日が来るんでしょうか
ちっぽけなこんな僕もいつかは
誇れる自分になれるでしょうか
kanashii konna hibi mo itsuka wa
waratte hanaseru hi ga kurun deshou ka
chippoke na konna boku mo itsuka wa
hokoreru jibun ni nareru deshouka
Will the day where these sad days someday be
where I can talk with a smile comes?
Will this tiny me someday be
someone who can be proud of myself?
もう何もかも全部
嫌になってしまうほどでも
それでもまだ信じ続けることに
意味はあるんでしょうか
mou nani mo ka mo zenbu
iya ni natte shimau hodo demo
soredemo mada shinji tsudzukeru koto ni
imi wa arun deshou ka
All of everything and anything
has already become something unpleasant,
even so you continue believing.
I wonder if there is any meaning to that?
未来の僕へ君は今どこで
どんな僕になっていますか?
未来の僕は幸せでしょうか?
自分を愛せる僕になれていますか?
mirai no boku e kimi wa ima doko de
donna boku ni natte imasu ka?
mirai no boku wa shiawase deshou ka?
jibun wo aiseru boku ni narete imasu ka?
To the future me, where are you right now?
What kind of 'me' have you become?
Is the future me happy now?
Have you become the 'me' that can love yourself?
少しずつ前に進む度に
嫌いなものばかりが増えて
つまらない今日を飲み込む度に
声にならない気持ちも増えて
sukoshizutsu mae ni susumu tabi ni
kirai na mono bakari ga fuete
tsumaranai kyou wo nomikomu tabi ni
koe ni naranai kimochi mo fuete
Every time we move forward by a little
Only the things we hate increases
Every time we pass each boring today
Only the feelings that can't be said increases
もう何もかも全部
捨ててしまえたら楽なのに
そんな勇気もない今日だけど
明日を夢見てもいいんでしょうか
mou nani mo ka mo zenbu
sutete shimaetara raku na no ni
sonna yuuki mo nai kyou dakedo
asu wo yume mite mo iin deshou ka
Being able to effortlessly throw away
everything and anything.
Even if I don't have that kind of courage today,
is it still okay to dream about it tomorrow?
未来の僕へ君は今どこで
どんな夢を辿っていますか?
未来の僕は幸せでしょうか?
誰かを愛せる僕になれていますか?
mirai no boku e kimi wa ima doko de
donna yume wo tadotte imasuka?
mirai no boku wa shiawase deshou ka?
dare ka wo aiseru boku ni narete imasu ka?
To the future me, where are you right now?
What kind of dream are you following?
Is the future me happy now?
Have you become the 'me' that can love somebody?
いつだって本当の心を隠して
自分にさえ嘘をついてきたけど
昨日を悔やむより今日の僕を明日の僕に
少しでも誇れるように
itsudatte hontou no kokoro wo kakushite
jibun ni sae uso wo tsuite kita kedo
kinou wo kuyamu yori kyou no boku wo ashita no boku ni
sukoshi demo hokoreru you ni
All this time I've concealed my true heart
Although I have lied even to myself
More than lamenting yesterday, even if it's just a little bit,
I want to be able to be proud of myself tomorrow
拝啓いつかあの頃の僕へ
こちらはそれなりにやれてます
忘れないでいていつもすぐそばに
君を思う誰かがいるよ
haikei itsuka ano goro no boku e
kochira wa sore nari ni yaretemasu
wasurenaide ite itsumo sugu soba ni
kimi wo omou dare ka ga iru yo
To the future me of those days,
Over here, I am working towards being you
I won't forget and will always be there for you immediately
There will always be someone who's thinking of you
いつかの僕へ確かに未来は
楽しいことばかりじゃないけれど
それでも今日まで歩いてきてよかったと
そう思えるそんな日が来るから
itsuka no boku e tashika ni mirai wa
tanoshii koto bakari jya nai keredo
sore demo kyou made aruite kite yokatta to
sou omoeru sonna hi ga kuru kara
To the me of someday that will think
that the future is not just filled with fun,
and even if that's so, being glad about walking to this point in time.
That kind of thinking, will absolutely come one day.
涙も不安も後悔もいつか
全てが優しい思い出になるから
namida mo fuan mo koukai mo itsuka
subete ga yasashii omoi deni naru kara
Because tears, uneasiness and regrets will also someday
be remembered upon with kindness.
