This song was also given a professional English translation by the team of THE FIRST TAKE.
The translation is as follows:
| In the middle of the crossroad |
| I suddenly become anxious |
| That light, how long |
| Will it remain green? |
| |
| The light suddenly began to blink |
| Is it hurrying me along? |
| Before I knew it, I'd started |
| Walking faster, just a little |
| |
| My intentions |
| Didn't seem to matter |
| Everybody |
| Began to run at once |
| What are they running from and why the hurry? I laugh |
| As I look on objectively |
| I don't like that part of myself |
| |
| My decision was triggered |
| Not by logic |
| It always starts from an impulse of the heart |
| Don't want to go along with the crowd |
| I keep resisting |
| To live is to make a choice |
| To choose just one |
| |
| When I walk across the crosswalk |
| I always think |
| If only my heart had |
| A traffic signal like this |
| Go forward and then |
| Stop |
| If that was a rule |
| I could just go along without worrying |
| |
| Instructions from somebody |
| I don't want to wait for them |
| If I want to run |
| I'll decide when to take the first step |
| I want to become someone with a strong will |
| Another me from another day |
| I'll look for her |
| |
| My decision was triggered |
| Not because I ran out of time |
| It's because I thought about it and wanted to believe in the future |
| Don't want regrets |
| Do as I think |
| Don't know what's right |
| But I only have one life |
| |
| Look, in the crowd |
| Someone's started to run |
| Then they all begin to run |
| It's about yourself |
| And yet you can't come to a decision |
| All we need is a little encouragement |
| A trigger |
| |
| My decision was triggered |
| Not by logic |
| It always starts from an impulse of the heart |
| Don't want to go along with the crowd |
| I keep resisting |
| To live is to make a choice |
| To choose just one |
| |
| Make your own decisions |
| Just as you believe |
| Live on |
