Original lyrics
走る自画像
まるで踊り出すような足取りで
長い坂道駆け降りる
俺を呼ぶのは誰なんだろう?
雪の匂いと白樺並木
靴音と連れ立って
逃げる逃げ水追い掛ける
俺を呼ぶのは俺なんだろう
倦めど絶えざる彼の呼び声
正体は危うく 燃焼は儚い
誰だってそうなんだって
人込みに逃げ込むのか
残像に火を付けろ
体温で駆け抜けろ
孤独のそのままで
人間のそのままで
夜の雨音寂しさに
胸の灯消えかけても
皮膚に眼に焼き付いた
蒼き決意を忘れるな
実体は小さく 諦念は根深い
誰だってそうなんだって
両耳を差し出すのか
残像に火を付けろ
体温で駆け抜けろ
孤独のそのままで
人間のそのままで

A Runner's Self Portrait
Running on a long downhill road
with almost dancing steps
Whose voice is this? Who is calling me?
The smell of snow, a row of birch trees
Joined by my footsteps I run after a mirage
It'll be my voice calling me
Calls dull in my hears yet never to stop
A fragile being, flames are to pass
ready to take flight into the crowds,
saying it's not only me?
Midnight rain with its depressing sound
dampens the sparks and the flames in my heart
Yet imprinted on my eyes and on the skin
Stubborn aspirations keep me reminded
A trivial being, resignations rooted
ready to give away both ears,
saying it's not only me?
Kindle up those images
Run throughout your body's heat
Remain in isolation
Remain human
