Lyrics Ayumi Hamasaki – Born To Be…

Romanized:

Born to be free, ano hi kara

Born to be free, ano hi kara
Yume wa tsuzuite iru

Tabidachi o eranda no wa adokenasa nokoru
Muboubi na egao shita kimi ya boku

Ano koro no bokura no you ni hitasura mujaki ni
Waratte iru no wa muzukashiku natte mo

Ima nara wakaru koto ga aru
Ima nara mieru mono ga aru
Dakara mou ichido omoidashite ru kimi to no ano yakusoku
Kantan ni wa akirame nai tte chikatta, wo wo

Born to be free, ano hi kara
Yume wa tsuzuite iru

Shippai wa akireru hodo kasanete kita kedo
Koukai dake wa nai you ni yatte kita

Ano koro no bokura ni moshimo dokoka de deatta ra
Mirai wa fuan ja nai to tsutae you

Itsuka wa yuruseru koto ga aru
Itsuka wa waraeru toki ga kuru
Hitoshirezu hiza o kakae nagara namida shite ita yoru o
Norikoete chiisana senaka ga oshiete ru, wo wo

Ima nara wakaru koto ga aru
Ima nara mieru mono ga aru
Itsuka wa yuruseru koto ga aru
Itsuka wa waraeru toki ga kuru
Dakara mou ichido omoidashite ru kimi to no ano yakusoku
Kantan ni wa akirame nai tte chikatta, wo wo

Born to be free, itsu no hi mo
Yume wa wasure nai

Born to be free, kyou ga moshi
Yume ni tooku te mo

Japanese:

Born to be free あの日から
夢は続いている

旅立ちを選んだのは
あどけなさ残る
無防備な笑顔した
君や僕

あの頃の僕らのように
ひたすら無邪気に
笑っているのは
難しくなっても

今なら　わかる事がある
今なら　見えるものがある

だからもう一度思い出してる
君とのあの約束
簡単には諦めないって誓った

Born to be free あの日から
夢は続いている

失敗は呆れる程
重ねてきたけど
後悔だけはないように
やってきた

あの頃の僕らに
もしもどこかで出会ったら
未来は不安じゃないと
伝えよう

いつかは　許せる事がある
いつかは　笑える時が来る

人知れず膝を抱えながら
涙していた夜を
乗り越えた小さな背中が
教えてる

今なら　わかる事がある
今なら　見えるものがある

だからもう一度思い出してる
君とのあの約束
簡単には諦めないって誓った

Born to be free いつの日も
夢を忘れない
Born to be free 今日がもし
夢に遠くても

English translation:

Born to be free, since that day

Born to be free, since that day
My dream has continued

When we chose our ways to set out
You and I still looked like a child with unprotected smile

Though it has become difficult
To smile in complete innocence like we did at that time

We can realize more now
We can see more now
So I remember my promise to you
That I wouldn’t easily give up, wo wo

Born to be free, since that day
My dream has continued

I terribly made one mistake after another
But I’ve lived so as not to regret my deeds

If I meet us at that time somewhere
I’ll tell them not to feel uneasy about the future

We can forgive some day
We can smile some day
Your small back is telling me so, because you’ve gone through the nights
When you were weeping alone with your arms around your knees, wo wo

We can realize more now
We can see more now
We can forgive some day
We can smile some day
So I remember my promise to you
That I wouldn’t easily give up, wo wo

Born to be free, always
I won’t forget my dream

Born to be free, even if
I’m distant from the dream today
