YES!

[nebulancer]

English translation:

 

Who knew that a 10cm distance could feel so distant?

Every time I graze my knees, I can’t help but consider giving up

 

Yet for someone like me, you reach out your hand

You tell me, “One more time”

And I understand – If I get back up

I can try harder again

 

YES! I dreamt a dream, a huge, grand dream

I’ve still a long way to go before I reach it, but

YES! I don’t want to give up, not a chance

So until I get stronger,

Would it be okay for me to borrow your hand?

Tears drip down those bashful cheeks

 

Who knew that a year lasted this long of a time?

Every time I approach you, I can’t help but realize that difference

 

Yet for someone like me, you reach out your hand

You tell me, “It’s real, and it’s true”

It made me happy, even if that was a lie

Looks like it’s not over yet

 

YES! I have a dream, a small, little dream

I’ve still a long way to go before I match up to it, but

YES! Someday, for sure, I’ll definitely overcome it

So once I’ve gotten stronger,

Let me hold your hand

From the same height – Promise me that

 

YES! I dreamt a dream, a huge, grand dream

I’ve still a long way to go before I reach it, but

YES! I don’t want to give up, not a chance

So you’d better keep your eyes on me

YES! To tell the truth, I’ll feel lonesome

Of the day that’ll “someday” come

 

Would it be okay for me to borrow your hand?

Tears drip down those bashful cheeks

 

The schoolyard is dyed in the sunset

Our two shadows become one

Kanji:

 

10cmの距離がこんなにも遠いなんて

すりむく度にもう辞めちゃおうかって思うよ

 

こんなオレに手を伸ばして

もう一度ってあんたは言った

理解ってる立ち上がれば

また頑張れるさ

 

YES！　夢を見たんだでっかい夢

まだまだ届かないけど

YES！　諦めなんてしたくはない

だから強くなれるまで

その手を借りていいかな？

はにかむ頬につたう涙

 

1年の時間が　こんなにも長いなんて

近づく程にまた　その差を思い知るんだ

 

こんなオレに　手を伸ばして

本物だって　あんたは言った

嘘だって　嬉しかった

まだ終わらないさ

 

YES！　夢があるんだ　小さな夢

まだまだ叶わないけど

YES！　いつか必ず　超えてみせる

だから強くなれたなら

その手を同じ高さで

握らせてくれ　約束だ

 

YES！　夢をみたんだ　でっかい夢

まだまだ届かないけど

YES！　諦めなんて　したくはない

だからまだ見ててくれよ

YES！　本当は少し　寂しいんだ

「いつか」なんて日が来るの

 

その手を借りていいかな？

はにかむ頬　つたう涙

 

夕日に染まる校庭

二つの影がひとつになる
