JAPANESE

飛び方忘れた鳥のように
歩き方を忘れた僕は
ただひたすら走り続けた

長かったような短かったような
そんな道のりを今
振り返って眺めてみる

そうこれが僕の選んだ道

ねぇ僕が残して来た足跡はさ
いびつで泥だらけだったりするよ
ねぇだけど少しも悔やんでなんかないよ
心から誇りに思ってるんだ

そうこれが僕の選んだ道

ねぇ僕が残して来た足跡はさ
いびつで泥だらけだったりするよ
ねぇだけど少しも悔やんでなんかないよ
心から誇りに思ってるんだ

ねぇ今もうまくは生きれないよ
そんなに器用な僕じゃないんだ
ねぇだけどひとつだけ言えるとしたら
これからも胸を張ってこの道を行くさ

飛び方忘れた鳥はいつか
もう一度はばたけるだろう
僕が歩き出せたように


   
ENGLISH (Translation)

Like a bird that forgot how to fly
I forgot how to walk
And ran and ran

Now I look back on the road
Which I feel
Both long and short

Yes, this is the road I chose

The footprints I left behind
Are distorted and muddy
But I don't regret them at all
I'm proud of them from the bottom of my heart

Yes, this is the road I chose

The footprints I left behind
Are distorted and muddy
But I don't regret them at all
I'm proud of them from the bottom of my heart

I can't live along well as before
I'm not so tactful
But one thing I can tell you is
I keep on going this way with my head held high

A bird that forgot how to fly
Will be able to flap its wings once again
Just as I could start walking again
