Mr. Children – HANABI

Mr. Children – HANABI     

How much is this world where I currently live worth?  

I feel that everything is meaningless  

I may be a little bit tired  

To get things, I abandoned many sparkles

This world is not so peaceful as to allow me to fret about each thing

What kind of ideal should I envision?

What kind of hope should we hold to move on?

These questions that cannot be answered are drowned out in daily life

If you were here, what would you say?

I wonder whether you would make fun of me, saying “You look gloomy”

I wish to dispel my gloomy mood by touching your gentle smile

I would like to reach my hand for light once again

Even if it can never be captured like fireworks

Everyone suffers from some grief, but hopes that tomorrow will be nice

How much can I love the world with troubled waters due to cowardice?

I hate my awkwardness, as I stumble over words after thinking too much, but

I hate my worldly-wise behavior more strongly

No matter whether we laugh or cry, time goes by in the same way

The future is calling us

Do you hear that calling, too?

Even if I knew that our breakup is unavoidable from the beginning,

I would like to see you once again or many times

I never imagined that the world would become so beautiful when our paths cross

Do you make fun of me, saying that I am simple-minded?

I will express my heartfelt thanks to you

If I could have a mind like water that becomes clear 

While waving and flowing without stagnation

I would like to imprint you on my memory deeply once again,

Just in case I feel like seeing you or feel lonely

Everyone has some trouble, but hopes that tomorrow will be nice

How much can I love the world with troubled waters due to cowardice?

Once again…
