高嶺の林檎 | Takane no ringo | The Apple at the Top

手の届く
枝になった林檎は
君じゃない
誰かも手を伸ばす
みんなが
あきらめてるような
高い木の上
探さないのか？

なぜ君は
絶対失敗しない
手頃な
夢だけを選ぶのか？
結果を
出せないこととは
チャレンジするより
だめなことか？
そんな近くに (そんな近くに)
夢はないんだ

僕は無理をする
妥協はしない
冷ややかな目で
見られたって…
僕は無理をする
すべてを懸けて
平均点はいらない (いらない)
高嶺の林檎よ

落ちて来る
幸運を待っても
その時間
もったいないだろう
自分から
木に登ったりして
リスク持たなきゃ
手に入らない

勝ち負けは
どうでもいいなんて
自分に
弁解をするなよ
何かを
競い合うことは
そう努力する
モチベーション
汗の分だけ (汗の分だけ)
美味しいんだ

どうせやるのなら
1位を狙え
誰も羨(うらや)む
最高峰
どうせやるのなら
ランク落とすな
たった1つの目標 (目標)
高嶺の林檎よ

僕は無理をする
妥協はしない
冷ややかな目で
見られたって…
僕は無理をする
すべてを懸けて
平均点はいらない (いらない)
高嶺の林檎よ

People other than you
Reach for the apples
On the lower branches
Of the trees
Aren't you going to search for
What's atop the tall tree
That everyone else
Seems to have given up on?

Why don't you just
Decide on a dream
Easily obtained
One that you can't mess up?
Isn't it better
To actually get results
Than to try hard
Challenging something?
But there are no dreams (but there are no dreams)
So quickly fulfilled

I'll push myself
I won't give in
Even if I'm gazed upon
With cold eyes...
I'll push myself
I'll put it all on the line
I won't need the average (won't need it)
I'm going for the apple at the top

If you wait
For it to fall to you
That time
Has all been wasted, right?
You start
By climbing the tree
You have to take some risk
To get a reward

It's not about
Winning or losing
It's about
Not making excuses to yourself
When you have something
To fight for
Then you'll try harder
It's motivation
It will taste as sweet
As the effort you put into it

If you're going to do it anyway
Aim for number one
The pinnacle
That everyone envies
If you're going to do it anyway
Don't let your rank fall
Your one and only goal (your goal)
Is the apple at the top

I'll push myself
I won't give in
Even if I'm gazed upon
With cold eyes...
I'll push myself
I'll put it all on the line
I won't need the average (won't need it)
I'm going for the apple at the top
