Kanji

君のゆく道は はてしなく遠い
だのになぜ 歯をくいしばり
君はゆくのか そんなにしてまで

君のあのひとは 今はもういない
だのになぜ なにを探して
君はゆくのか あてもないのに

君のゆく道は 希望へとつづく

空にまた 陽が昇るとき
若者はまた 歩きはじめる

空にまた 陽が昇るとき
若者はまた 歩きはじめる

Romaji

Kimi no yuku michi wa hateshinaku tooi
Da no ni naze ha wo kuishibari
Kimi wa yuku no ka sonna ni shite made

Kimi no ano hito wa ima wa mou inai
Da no ni naze nani wo sagashite
Kimi wa yuku no ka atemonai no ni

Kimi no yuku michi wa kibou he to tsuzuku

Sora ni mata hi ga noboru toki
Wakamono wa mata aruki hajimeru

Sora ni mata hi ga noboru toki
Wakamono wa mata aruki hajimeru

Translation

The road you're walking on stretches endlessly far
Even so, why do you still grit your teeth
And proceed on to that extent?

That person is no longer here
Even so, why are you still searching
As you proceed so aimlessly?

The road you're walking on connects to hope

When the sun climbs into the sky again
The youngsters will start to walk again

When the sun climbs into the sky again
The youngsters will start to walk again
