Lyrics
JP 気付いたらもう嵐の中で 帰り道がわからなくなっていた 記憶の匂いばかり詰めた 空っぽの鞄をぎゅっと抱えて 時を奪う雨と風の中で 見えなくなって聞こえなくなってしまった 体だけが自動で働いて 泣きそうな胸を必死で庇って 止まったら消えてしまいそうだから 痛みとあわせて心も隠して 振り返ったら吸い込まれそうだから 今を繰り返す　臆病な爪と牙 ここにいるためだけに 命の全部が叫んでいる 涙で出来た思いが この呼吸を繋ぐ力になる いくつもなくなったあとに 強く残った　ひとつ残った その声は流れ星のように 次々に耳に飛び込んでは光って 魚のように集まりだして 冷たかった胸に陽だまりが出来た オーロラが広がっているって知った ふと足もとの虫と目が合って笑った 自分のじゃない足音と会った 全てその声が見せてくれた 普通の触れ方を知らないから 戸惑っていたら触れてくれた手に どれだけ夜をくぐり抜けても ずっと冷めないままの熱が　脈を打つ 君がいるそれだけで 命の全部が輝く 凍りついた心に その鼓動が響き火を灯す わからないままでも側に 君の側に　一番近くに 空っぽの鞄は空っぽで 愛しい重さを増やしていく 重くなる度怖くなった 潰さないように抱きしめた 掴むよ　掴んでくれた手を 闇を切り裂け　臆病な爪と牙 ここにいるためだけに 命の全部が叫んでいる ちゃんと守れるように 作られた体で生まれたよ 涙超えた言葉が その鼓動から届き勇気になる 君がいるそれだけで ああ　まだ温かい いくつもなくなったあとに 強く残った　ひとつ残った 離れない　いつでも側に 僕の中に　一番近くに Romaji kidzuitara mou arashi no naka de kaerimichi ga wakaranakunatteita kioku no nioi bakari tsumeta karappo no kaban o gyutto kakaete toki o ubau ame to kaze no naka de mienakunatte kikoenakunatteshimatta karada dake ga jidou de hataraite nakisou na mune o hisshi de kabatte tomattara kieteshimaisou dakara itami to awasete kokoro mo kakushite furikaettara suikomaresou dakata ima o kurikaesu okubyou na tsume to kiba koko ni iru tame dake ni inochi no zenbu ga sakendeiru namida de dekita omoi ga kono kokyuu o tsunagu chikara ni naru ikutsumo nakunatta ato ni tsuyoku nokotta hitotsu nokotta sono koe wa nagareboshi no you ni tsugitsugi ni mimi ni tobikonde wa hikatte sakana no you ni atsumaridashite tsumetakatta mune ni hidamari ga dekita oorora ga hirogatteiru tte shitta futo ashimoto no muchi to me ga atte waratta jibun no janai ashioto to atta subete sono koe ga misetekureta futsuu no furekata o shiranai kara tomadotteitara furetekureta te ni doredake yoru o kugurinuketemo zutto samenai mama no netsu ga myaku o utsu kimi ga iru sore dake de inochi no zenbu ga kagayaku kooritsuita kokoro ni sono kodou ga hibiki hi o tomosu wakaranai mama demo soba ni kimi no soba ni ichiban chikaku ni karappo no kaban wa karappo de itoshii omosa o fuyashiteiku omokunaru tabi kowakunatta tsubusanai you ni dakeshimeta tsukamu yo tsukandekureta te o yami o kirisake okubyou na tsume to kiba koko ni iru tame dake ni inochi no zenbu ga sakendeiru chanto mamoreru you ni tsukurareta karada de umareta yo namida koeta kotoba ga sono kodou kara todoki yuuki ni naru kimi ga iru sore dake de aa mada atatakai ikutsumo nakunatta ato ni tsuyoku nokotta hitotsu nokotta hanarenai itsudemo soba ni boku no naka ni ichiban chikaku ni Source: https://www.lyrical-nonsense.com/lyrics/bump-of-chicken/fighter-3-gatsu-no-lion-ed/

EN By the time I noticed, I was already amidst the storm, Having forgotten the way home. Close to my heart, I held my empty briefcase Filled with nothing but the scent of memories. Amid wind and rain that steal the time away, I became unable to see… unable to hear… My body alone moved automatically, Protecting with all its might… this heart on the verge of tears. If I were to stop, it seems everything might just disappear… So in tandem with the pain, I hide my heart. If I were to turn back, it seems I might just get sucked in… So I keep this moment on repeat- with cowardly claws and fangs. My entire life force is screaming now For the sole purpose of remaining here. The memories given to me by these tears Become a strength that connects my breaths. After losing any number of things, Something remained powerfully- one single thing remained. Those voices, like shooting stars, Flew one by one into my ears before glittering bright. Assembling like a school of fish in my chilled heart, A spot of sunlight was formed. Realizing that it was expanding into an aurora, My eyes suddenly met with a bug down at my feet, and I smiled- I’d encountered footsteps that sound different from my own; It was that voice that showed me everything. I don’t know how to interact with things normally, But when I was at a loss, that hand reached out to me; Now, no matter how many dark nights I may pass through, This endless fever will continue to pulse! Just by the fact you exist, Everything alive shines so bright. Within this frozen heart, Your heartbeat rings aloud, lighting a fire. Even if I can never understand it, I’ll be by your side – closer than anyone! My empty briefcase is still just as empty, Picking up more of that beloved weight. But the heavier it got, I became scared. I held it tight so it wouldn’t get crushed! I’ll take hold… of that hand that took hold of mine. So rip through the darkness, cowardly claws and fangs! My entire life force is screaming now For the sole purpose of remaining here. In order to properly protect you, I was born into this body that was made for me. Words beyond tears Are communicated by that heartbeat, becoming my courage. Just by the fact you exist, Ahh, I still feel so warm! After losing any number of things, Something remained powerfully- one single thing remained. I’ll never let us be separated… you’ll always be by my side: Deep within me – closer than anyone.
