a~i!

Before I noticed it, everyone my age hurries on,
as I watch their backs
My close friend is already a mother,
the guy who was my first love is a father
And that girl who I thought was a slowpoke,
before I knew it, became an executive
Even at the best of times I become anxious,
people younger than me appeared,
and I stopped thinking things like
"What are your years of service?"
But since everyone worries about the same stuff,
I won't let it bother me anymore

"People are people, I am myself"
Even as I say this, sometimes
I fall to where I fall, but
I rise up again

a~i! If we go like this,
Alright!
There are no problems,
and if that's so,
I want to live proudly

In this wide world,
another idiot like me probably doesn't exist
But even if there are few of them,
and even if I never meet them,
there are probably three or four similar people, right?
If I think like that, I feel better
It feels like I'm not alone
If that's so, soon let's go forward
When we can, let's go fast
But there is no need to hurry,
you should walk at your own pace,
step by step

"People are people, I am myself"
Even as I say this, sometimes
I fall to where I fall, but
I rise up again

a~i! If we go like this,
Alright!
There are no problems,
and if that's so,
I want to live proudly

If it suits me, I might one day write an autobiography
At that time, this present will also be past
I will be able to put all painful memories in a frame
Rather than doing those experiences, forever
I want to make flowers bloom with my drunken stories
Rolling about, I can make friends
Even if I hurry, it's a red light
Will it be green soon?
My luggage is heavy and, ah, I'm so tired
If I think like this, I can stop feeling irritated just by one sentence
"It's okay, there is no problem"
Hey, try to mutter this to yourself

a~i! If we go like this,
Alright!
There are no problems,
and if that's so,
I want to live proudly

a~i! At painful times too,
Alright!
There is nothing but problems,
even so let's do our best persistently
