Nigiyakana machi kakushikirenai samishisa ga hora mitsumeteiru
Chisaku kagamete mamoranakereba jibun no sonzai sura miushinau yo
Daremo karemo no sonzai naraba itsumo mitomezaru wo enai mono
Soredemo boku no ai no kotoba wa nanno imi sae motanaku naru – wow oh
Michitarite yuku koto nai, hito no kokoro nagusamerareru yona
Yume motometeitemo ma no atari ni suru daro
Seizon kyoso no naka yume wa surikaerarete shimau.

Uketomeyo memai sura suru machi no kage no naka
Saa mo ichido ai ya magokoro de tachimukatte ikanakereba
Uketomeyo jibunrashisa ni uchinomesaretemo
Arugamama wo uketomenagara me ni utsuru mono subete wo ai shitai.

Boku ni mieru mono wa itsumo ate hazure ga ookattakeredo
Genjitsu to yume no kubetsu kurai wa tsuiteita hazu datta
Nanimo kamo wo arugamama ni uketomeyo to suru keredo
Kimi wa unmei, dare ka no jinsei seou koto to wa chigau no sa – wow oh
Donna iro de nazoreba ii, jibun no ai wo hitei shite shimau mae ni
Warattemo kamawanai no, demo kimi ga ai ya yume ni
Nayamu toki wa doka omoidashite hoshii.

Uketomeyo memai sura suru machi no kage no naka
Saa mo ichido ai ya magokoro de tachimukatte ikanakereba
Uketomeyo honto no koto kuchi ni suru kimi no me wo
Dare mo kizu tuskenu kimagure no yona yasashii uso sura sae mo ai shitai.

Ai wa shinjitsu nano daro ka, ai wa kimi wo sukutte kureru no daroka
Senaka awase no uragiri ni uchinomesaretemo
Soredemo ii aishiteru hoka ni nani ga dekiru no.

Uketomeyo memai sura suru machi no kage no naka
Saa mo ichido ai ya magokoro de tachimukatte ikanakereba
Uketomeyo jibun rashisa ni uchinomesaretemo
Arugamama wo uketomenagara me ni utsuru mono subete wo.

[Translation]

In this sparkling city there's a sadness that can't quite be hidden: it's there, staring back at us
We end up losing track of our own existence, a little crushed, in need of protection
Each one of us, as long as we exist, can't help but be aware of this
And yet my words of love end up losing any meaning
I chase after unrealized dreams trying to sooth my heart, but will i ever see them become reality?
In this battle for life, dreams get sidetracked.

We've got to react (and come to grips with reality)*, even in the shadows of this dizzying city
Once more, we need to stand up with love and sincerity
We've got to react, even if our own individuality knocks us down
I want to love all of the things that i see, accept them as they are.

Though many times, things as they appeared to me disappointed my expectations
I should have known the difference between reality and dreams
And even if i try to accept everything as it is
There's a difference between accepting you as my destiny, and carrying the burden of someone else's life
Which color should i spread (over the emptiness), before i end up denying my own love?
I don't mind if you laugh, but when you're troubled
With love and dreams, i want you to remember this:

We've got to react, even in the shadows of this dizzying city
Once more, we need to stand up with love and sincerity
I've got to acknowledge your eyes that speak the truth
I want to love even those gentle lies told on a whim to hurt no one.

Does love represent the truth? Will love save you?
Even if we're knocked down by enmity and betrayals
It's all right: we still love. What else can we do?

We've got to react, even in the shadows of this dizzying city
Once more, we need to stand up with love and sincerity
We've got to react, even if our own individuality knocks us down
I want to love all of the things that i see, accept them as they are.
