明日へ向かう人
The One that Heads to Tomorrow
作詞作曲/半崎美子
悔し涙を流した時心の奥が熱くなった
When I shed tears of regret, I felt the warmth deep inside my heart
嬉し涙を流した時胸の奥が熱くなった
When I shed tears of joy, I felt the warmth deep inside my heart
季節はずれの桜のように冬に負けない人になって
Like the cherry blossom blooming out of season, don’t falter to the cold winter
苦しい時こそ根を張って 春を待たずに咲き誇ろう
Stand strong especially when it’s difficult, don’t wait until the spring to bloom
遠い空に光る星　先を急ぐあなたを照らせ
Stars far away, illuminate his hurried path
立ち向かうその背中を　優しく讃えるように
Gently praise the courageous man
前を向くそれだけでも辛いことが時にはある
There are times when facing forward can be hard enough
それでも進むことをあきらめないで
But please don’t give up on moving forward
時にしだれる柳のように風に負けない人になって
Like a weeping willow, don’t falter to the blowing wind
悲しい時こそ手を取って何も言わずに揺れてみよう
In times of sadness, take my hand in silence and let’s sway together
西の空に沈む陽よ　明日へ向かうあなたを照らせ
Sunset in the western sky, illuminate his path to tomorrow
傷ついたその背中を　優しく支えるように
Gently embrace the wounded man
声を枯らして泣いてもたどり着けない場所がある
Sometimes no matter how hard you cry, you cannot make it
それでも生きることを信じることをあきらめないで
But please don’t give up on the will to live, the will to believe
前を向くそれだけでも辛いことが時にはある
There are times when facing forward can be tough enough
それでもあなたは進むことをあきらめないで
But please don’t stop moving forward
悔し涙を流した時心の奥が熱くなった
When I shed tears of regret, I felt the warmth deep inside my heart
嬉し涙を流した時胸の奥が熱くなった
When I shed tears of joy, I felt the warmth deep inside my heart
