japanese

Hakinareta kono kutsu to
Utsurikawaru kisetsu no naka
Ironna koto fumishimete
Tachidomatte wa aruite kita

Surihetta kaka to no ato
Nandomo kayotta omoide
Watashi dake no ashioto wo narihibikase

Soko ni michi ga nakutemo
Fumidaseba tsuzuite yuku
Shirazu shirazu ni nokoshite kita
Ikite iru ashiato

Asufaruto wo yokogitte
Yorimichi shite iru tsuchi no ue

Dekobokomichi wo kanjite arukitsuzukete iru no
Daremo aruita koto nai michi wo kirihiraite

Soko ni michi ga nakutemo
Fumidaseba tsuzuite yuku
Shirazu shirazu ni nokoshite kita
Ikite iru ashiato

Itsuka nugisutetatte kokoro wa sono mama ni
Wasurenai kawaranai ashioto
Ashita ni narihibiku

Soko ni michi ga nakutemo
Fumidaseba tsuzuite yuku
Shirazu shirazu ni nokoshite kita
Ikite iru ashiato

In these well-worn shoes
As the seasons change
I step firmly on all kinds of things
Now that I’ve come this far, I stop

The marks from my worn-down heels
Always bring back memories
My lone footsteps ring out

Even if there’s no path here
As long as I keep stepping I’ll keep moving
The footsteps I unknowingly, unknowingly
Left behind live on

I cross the asphalt
And walk on the soil for a bit

I feel the roughness of the path and keep moving
I’m making a path that nobody has walked before

Even if there’s no path here
As long as I keep stepping I’ll keep moving
The footsteps I unknowingly, unknowingly
Left behind live on

Even if I kick off my shoes, my heart will stay the same
I won’t forget, I won’t change
My footsteps will ring out all the way into tomorrow

Even if there’s no path here
As long as I keep stepping I’ll keep moving
The footsteps I unknowingly, unknowingly
Left behind live on
