Japanese English
風を感じて 大地と呼吸あわせ
Jumpした瞬間
胸に響いた声「キミなら大丈夫!」
振り向けばみんなが 笑っている

追いかけていたい こんな自由な感じ
まぶしい太陽に 手を伸ばして
昨日を見つめて 後戻りした
涙もあったけど 気にしないで
未来へのStepは 続いている

進め!進め!キミと 7色の虹 越えて
Ready Go! もっと遠く!
雲を突き抜け 空へと…
I felt the wind, my breath opposing the ground
From the moment I jumped
A voice in my heart cries, "You'll be okay!"
When I turn around everyone is laughing

I want to chase that sort of feeling of freedom
And reach my hand toward the blazing sun
When I look back on yesterday
There were tears, but I don't care
I'll take a step toward the future

Advance! Advance! Going over the seven-colored rainbow with you
Ready Go! Farther!
Breaking through the cloud and into the sky...

まぶしい太陽に 手を伸ばして

昨日を見つめて 後戻りした 涙もあったけど
気にしないで 未来へのStepは 続いている

進め!進め!キミと 7色の虹越えて
Ready Go! 行こう!
ずっと あふれる思い抱えて

言葉にすれば
消えてしまいそうな 「夢」というゴールに

立ち止まった日々も 雨に負けそうな夜も
目に見えないチカラで つながっている

さよならは 悲しいイベントじゃないから
笑顔で手を振って 歩き出そう

心に広がる大空 抱きしめ 信じればいいんだ
思い出して 未来へのMapは ここにある

進め!進め!キミと 7色の虹越えて
Ready Go! 行こう!ぎゅっと この手で掴みとるまで

追いかけていたい こんな自由な感じ
銀河をかけめぐる 星のように

心を動かす 光めざして 飛び出せばいいのさ
前を向いて 未来へのStepは 続いている

進め!進め!キミと 7色の虹越えて
Ready Go! 行こう!胸に あふれる思い抱えて

進め!進め!キミと 7色の虹越えて
Ready Go! もっと遠く!雲を突き抜け 空へと…
I felt the wind, my breath opposing the ground
From the moment I jumped
A voice in my heart cries, "You'll be okay!"
When I turn around everyone is laughing

I want to chase that sort of feeling of freedom
And reach my hand toward the blazing sun

When I look back on yesterday, there were tears
But I don't care, I'll take a step toward the future

Advance! Advance! Going over the seven-colored rainbow with you
Ready Go! Flying high!
With overflowing emotions!

I know that if we quarrel with words
It will vanish and we'll move on, knowing of the goals we call "dreams"

The defeats in the evening rain will make me better,
even if my body does not yet appear strong

Goodbye isn't a sad event because
as I walk away, you'll be waving your hands, smiling

I extend my heart as I embrace the sky, trusting my confirmed desires
I have the map of the future here!

Advance! Advance! Going over the seven-colored rainbow with you
Ready Go! I'm ready! I'm tightly grabbing your hand and taking you along

I want to chase that sort of feeling of freedom
Running towards the galaxy like a dazzling star!

My heart's response changes as I aim for the light, there will be no time for gloom
As that would repeat the past, I continue to step towards the future

Advance! Advance! Going over the seven-colored rainbow with you
Ready Go! Here I am, dreaming! With overflowing emotions!

Advance! Advance! Going over the seven-colored rainbow with you
Ready Go! Farther! Breaking through the cloud and into the sky...
