Kanji:

きれいな青い海を歩いて
無意味なことばかり悩むくりかえしに気がつく
ぬるい風吹く日には 昨日が
ひどくまぶしく見えて
哀しく　きらめいてて でも

どうしたら　自分のことを大好きになれるんだろうなんて
もっともっと　自分のことを大好きになれるなら

見たこともない朝や　聞いたこともない歌
会ったことない自分に　会えるかもしれない

ひとりよがりな言葉　並べて
急ぎ過ぎたっていいじゃない　追いたてられるように
前触れない気持ちが　心に
あふれてきたんだから
こんなに　押し寄せてきたんだから　でも

なりたかった自分となれる自分はいつも違っている
なれなかった自分じゃなくて　それこそ私だって

君が　手を伸ばし　抱きしめていてくれる　遠い空
感じて生きてる

世界中に見守られてる　そんなふうに思ったり　ひとり
世界中に突き放されてる　そんな気になったり
どうしたら　自分のことを大好きになれるんだろうなんて
もっともっと　自分のことを大好きになれるなら

見たこともない朝や　聞いたこともない歌
会ったことない自分に　会えるかもしれない

いつかきっと　もうすぐ　もうすぐ

English:

Walking along the beautiful blue sea,

I realize again and again that

I worry about nothing but meaningless things.

On this day with the warm wind blowing, yesterday

seems terribly blinding...

sadly glimmering...  But

What can I do

to learn to love myself?

If I learn to

love myself more and more, then...

The morning I've never even seen before...

The song I've never even heard before...

The "me" that I've never even seen (met) before...

Maybe I can see (them)...

I line up self-satisfied words...

Even though we're going too fast, that's OK,

since unforeseen feelings...

...have started to overflow in my heart

like they're being rushed...

since they're pushing up on me so much...  but

I'm always different

from who I wanted to be.

This isn't who I've wanted to be,

but I'm sure this is me.

If you would

please reach out

and embrace me,

oh far sky,

I'd feel I'm alive.

I'll be watched over and protected throughout the world.

Sometimes I think that way, alone.

I'll be abandoned throughout the world.

Sometimes I feel like that.

What can I do

to learn to love myself?

If I learn to

love myself more and more, then...

The morning I've never even seen before...

The song I've never even heard before...

The "me" that I've never even seen (met) before...

Maybe I can see (them)...

Someday surely.

Very soon.

Very soon.
