    人生のぬかるみを
    避(よ)けて通れないなら
    今すぐ裸足になって歩けばいい(歩けばいい)
    どこまででも…

    靴紐 どうやって結ぶのか?
    僕らは生き方を(生き方を)探している
    どこかで解 (ほど)けてしまった何かは

    過去の夢なんかに縛られるな
    自由になれ

english translation

    Rolling along down the road
    I happened to spy someone’s single lost shoe

    Did they take it off themselves? Or did it come off by accident?
    There’s no way they didn’t notice

    If losing a shoe is unavoidable
    In the quagmire of life
    I would sooner walk around completely barefoot (barefoot)
    Wherever I go…

    How do you go about tying your shoes?
    We’re all looking for (looking for) the right way to live
    If something comes untied along the way
    Then just throw it out (throw it out)
    Don’t let yourself be bound by dreams of the past
    Let yourself be free

    Everyone has times when they grow a little
    And we change our shoes so often…

    When you run as fast as you can
    You don’t know the state of your shoes
    It’s only when you stop on the way that you realize (you realize)
    What’s come loose

    Shall we tie our shoes one more time?
    For the road that I was aiming for (aiming for) way back then
    I tied them so they absolutely wouldn’t come loose
    With that determination
    I don’t even need new shoes
    Let’s wear these down!

    How do you go about tying your shoes?
    Somewhere along the line (along the line) I suddenly remembered
    I don’t think it’s something we need to be taught
    Don’t clumsily (clumsily)
    Imitate what you see other people doing
    Do it your own way
