母校へ帰れ！ | Bokou e kaere! | Go Back to the Alma Mater!

人間(ひと)はいくつになったって　(愚かで)
失敗ばかりをするものだ　(何度も)
頑張っていたって　ダメな時もあるさ
そんなに落ち込むな

いつの間にか君も僕も
大人になってしまったんだ
何も成長していない
自己嫌悪に陥るのさ
どうやって　生きて行けばいいんだ？
もう　死にたくなって来たよ

さあ　母校へ帰れ！
人生の道　迷ったら
一度来た道　引き返して
あの校庭に立つんだ
さあ　母校へ帰れ！
見失ってしまった夢は
教室の机の中
また一から
探そうか

太陽があっと言う間に　(沈んで)
消えてしまうなんて知らなかった　(今まで)
このベンチに座って　ずっと眺めてたから
やっと気づいたんだ

生きることに必死すぎて
大事なことを見逃していた
まわりの景色も変わる
街の灯りも一斉に
灯(とも)ったわけじゃなかった
なぜ　取り残された気がする？

さあ　母校へ帰れ！
帰る場所がなくなったら
いつだって戻って来い
あの言葉を
思い出す

さあ　母校へ帰れ！
もしも泣きたくなったら
あの懐かしい校庭へ
涙を捨てに行けよ
さあ　母校へ帰れ！
何もできなかった自分
あの頃を思い出して
やり直そう
もう一度

No matter how old people have become (stupidly)
They only ever fail (over and over again)
Even if we’ve worked hard, there are times we can’t make it
Don’t be so sad

Before we know, both you and I
Have become adults
Without any kind of growth
Just falling into self-hatred
Just how should we live on?
I already want to die

There, go back to the alma mater!
When you’re lost on the way of life
Go back along the road you came from
Stand on that schoolyard
There, go back to the alma mater!
The dream that you’ve lost sight of
Let’s start over
And look for it
In the classroom’s student desk

The sun, in the blink of an eye (sinking)
Has disappeared without me knowing (until now)
As I stare while sitting on this bench
I’ve finally become aware

Trying too hard to live
I’ve overlooked important things
The surrounding scenery has changed
The city lights
They’re all dim
Why do I feel left behind?

There, go back to the alma mater!
If there’s nowhere you can return to
Come back here anytime
And remember
Those words

There, go back to the alma mater!
If you feel like crying
Visit that fondly remembered campus
To cast away your tears
There, go back to the alma mater!
When there’s nothing you can do
Remember that time
And start over
Once again
