I pluck the bud of cowardice
from my heart where it's been nesting.
Perhaps it's time I left
this circle of close friends
and the kind people who've watched over me.

I'll leave tomorrow without
leaving a single memory behind
the ties which bound us, want for love
crying out

Yell out with a birth cry, walk on my own
At the cross walk at dusk,
the dreams I fostered in the days which flew by,
show on the backs of people.
I cried, I laughed, and indeed I loved.
What's wrong with me,
that only now I can say "I'm glad I met you" ?
I start my heart going a little at a time,
and protecting myself*1
I live in this city, searching each of the seasons

The boy glares judgementally
at the adults gathering around the honey.
Now he's searching frantically
for what to be excited for.
The reason why he still tries to walk with swollen legs
is because he has someone who he won't let suffer,
who he never wants to see suffer.

Even the wasted days make me tired,
Everything I did was self centered
I'll never forget you, you who supported me through it.
Worried about love, I love someone,
and keep her close
how happy can I make her,
before the day of our big farewell comes...
I'm gonna love! I'm gonna love!
Bearing my past of hurting people as I do.
I will live with the sins I couldn't atone for
forever carved in my heart.

Once more someone is exposing
the betrayal, the ill intent, the envy
the ones I depend on are currently out of a job,
What a life, That's why we bust out asses...

Don't you think we must have made a wrong decision
somewhere along the way,
It's not apparent yet, still no one sees it.

Yell out with a birth cry, walk on my own
At the cross walk at dusk,
the dreams I fostered in the days which flew by,
show on the backs of people.
I cried, I laughed, and indeed I loved.
I'll sing this song,
even if one day I lose my voice.
I start my heart going a little at a time,
and protecting myself
I live in this city, searching each of the seasons

Translator's Notes: On to the *!

*1 - kuyurasu literally is to smoke something, to burn it slowly... Takuro seems to be using it to say that the singer is starting to find his passion but taking it very slowly, and making sure to protect himself the whole time.
