I totally forgot to publish all the translations I've done. And I've done many. No greater pleasure than to translate something you love.
Japanese
花がゆき交い風が吹き
色が舞い散り灯がともる
季節が何度めぐっても
この瞬間は二度とない
たとえ100回願っても
動き出さなきゃつかめないから
後先考えず痛い目も
時には見るけれど大丈夫
考えすぎて動けなくて
チャンス逃すより向いてるの
狙い定めたなら
今行くだけ行こう
誰かに誉められる人生
目指している訳じゃないの
私が喜ぶ生き方
ぶつかりながら見つけてく
いきなり強いわけじゃない
いきなりできるわけじゃない
繰り返して行く日々から
つくりあげてくの 自分を
たとえうまく行かなくっても
道は決して閉ざされはしない
そこからまた何かがはじまる
探して悩んで求めてれば
やめるのとあきらめるのとでは
次の道が変わってくる
おもい残さないで
今やるだけやろう
誰かに認められるより
まず自分を認めなくちゃ
ダメなとこもいいところも
ひっくるめて抱きしめよう
楽に歩ける道よりも
つらくっても楽しみたい
忙しい退屈な日々
変えたいなら歩き出そう
誰かに誉められる人生
目指している訳じゃないの
私が喜ぶ生き方
ぶつかりながら見つけてく
いきなり強いわけじゃない
いきなりできるわけじゃない
繰り返して行く日々から
つくりあげてくの自分を
誰かに認められるより
まず自分を認めなくちゃ
ダメなとこもいいところも
ひっくるめて抱きしめよう
楽に歩ける道よりも
つらくっても楽しみたい
忙しい退屈な日々
変えたいから歩いていくの
Translation
Flowers swing, wind blows
Colours dance down, lights burn
Seasons may change many times
But this moment won't come again
Even if you make a wish one hundred times
You won’t obtain what you want if you don’t start doing something
If you act without thinking of the consequences
You may sometimes go through painful experiences, but that’s okay
It fits your purpose better
Than being unable to act because you think too much
If you’ve taken a steady aim
Go for it as far as you can go now
Living my life so that somebody would praise me
Is not something I aim for
Living a life I can enjoy
That’s what I search for, sometimes colliding with obstacles
You don’t become strong in one day
You don’t become skilful in one day
Only from every day repetition
You gradually build yourself
Even if you’re not successful at first
It doesn’t mean the road is completely closed to you
Something new will start from there
If you don’t stop searching, worrying, wanting
You can stop or you can give up,
But these are two different roads
Don’t make yourself regret
Do as much as you can do now
Rather than waiting for someone to accept you
You have to start with accepting yourself
Bad sides and good sides –
Let’s embrace them all
Rather than choosing an easy road
I prefer a road that’s fun, even if it’s hard
This busy but boring life –
If you want to change it, let’s start going
Living my life so that somebody would praise me
Is not something I aim for
Living a life I can enjoy
That’s what I search for, sometimes colliding with obstacles
You don’t become strong in one day
You don’t become skilful in one day
Only from every day repetition
You gradually build yourself
Rather than waiting for someone to accept you
You have to start with accepting yourself
Bad sides and good sides –
Let’s embrace them all
Rather than choosing an easy road
I prefer a road that’s fun, even if it’s hard
This busy but boring life –
If you want to change it, let’s start going
