Album: Survive (1997)

SWIMMER YO !

Demo ne dareka itteita kedo
Nan demo ki no mochiyou jyanai no
Shokuyoku na sasou na kao de
Straw kamunara boku wo kan de
Machi yuku koibito ya gaijin wo ki no sumu made urayandara

Kanjou no nami wo kuro-ru de yokogitte yukou
Eien no kawa wo yuku swimmer yo!!
Doudou to shiteru foam nanka tabun sonna kanji de
Kirameki wo minogasanai youni

Tte iu ka nani mo hajimattenai
Dakara mada nani mo owatteinai
Yuuyami ni nomikomare souna
Wagami ni uttorishiteru dake

Muriyari demo ii koko wa hitotsu "doumo arigatou!!"tte sakendara

Junjou no umi wo kuro-ru de yokogitte yukou
Bokura wa nayami ooki swimmer da
Kaite tsuyoku kaite yorokobi ni tacchisureba
Ashita mo suteta monjyanai darou

Shizunde yuku nomo heiwa ni ukanderu nomo
Awa no youni hajike tobuno mo ii
Mayoi wo suikomi jishin wo hakidashite
Kore kara doko made yukou?

Shoushou no koto de mienai kurai chiisana koto de
Nagare wo tsukami soko neru swimmer yo!!
Bouttoshiteru uchi ni nigorasechatta mizu no naka
Shikkari to me wo korashite yukou

Owaru koto no nai kanashimi wo yorokobi ni
Subete no shippai wo seikou ni
Afurekoboreru nageki no utagoe ni
Mahou jyanai, jyanai kedo dekiru yo

TRANSLATION

But there's somebody who said something about this
Whatever happens, it's will not scatter the mood
A face that invites appetite (?)
Biting that straw, feel me instead
Towards those foreigner lovers on the street
While the thoughts are clearing, I feel envious

I'm crawling, crossing over this wave of emotions
A swimmer going on this river of eternity!
In a good form, without hesitation, that kind of feeling
And not running away from the glimmering sparks

Actually, I haven't started anything yet
Therefore nothing is ending either
Just like being swallowed by the darkness of dusk
My heart and I are totally enchanted, that's all

Even if it feels impossible to do, it's fine too
Right here shout it once "Thank you very much!"

I'm crawling, crossing over this innocent ocean
We are swimmer with much problems troubling the minds!
Be stronger, just be, if you can touch happiness
It isn't something you'll throw away tomorrow

Whether diving deep, or floating peacefully
Or bursting out like bubbles is fine too
Suck in the confusion and spit out confidence
And from here, let's head somewhere

Not seeing small matters over some small matters (?)
A swimmer over there who clutches on the current!
Going dazed in the middle of water that is getting muddy
Concentrate hard and open your eyes wide

Suffering and happiness are things that never end
Spill out every single failure and success
Let them flow while the voice changes from sighing to singing
It's not witch-craft, but even if it's not, I can do one
