Liberal Life

お日様がのぼりきってから起きて

Ohisama ga noborikitte kara okite

After the sun makes it all the way up I get out of bed,

朝昼ごはんまとめて食べて

asa-hirugohan matomete tabete

have a combined breakfast and lunch,

君と遅めの「おはよう」して

kimi to osome no "ohayō" shite

give you a late "good morning",

今日のうたを歌おう

kyō no uta o utaō

and sing today's songs.

サイコロころころいつも１と２

saikoro korokoro itsumo ichi to ni

The die always rolls a 1 or 2.

たまに３が出れば儲もうけもんだ

tamani san ga dereba mōke mon da

If it sometimes gets a 3, I call it a win.

４と５やろくな事なんてない

yon to go ya roku na koto nante nai

There's never 4 or 5 or anything greater.

周りはさっさと行っちゃうけど

mawari wa sassato itchau kedo

Although those around me rush off.

一回休みの連続で

ikkai yasumi no renzoku de

With one straight rest,

中々先には進めない

nakanaka saki ni wa susumenai

I can hardly move forwards.

それでもいいさと吹き飛ばして

soredemo ii sa to fukitobashite

Even so, I brag that I'm OK;

僕だけのマイハイペースさ

boku dake no maihaipēsu sa

it's my own high pace.

いらない物は始めっから

iranai mono wa hajimekkara

As for things I don't need, I've decided

追わない事にしてる

owanai koto ni shite'ru

from the start not to pursue them …

･･･疲れるし

… tsukareru shi

I get tired, you see.

何が大事かは知ってる

nani ga daiji ka wa shitte'ru

I know what's important.

それは目に見えないってことくらい？

sore wa me ni mienai tte koto kurai?

Is it something that can't be seen?

つまらないときは楽しいうたを

tsumaranai toki wa tanoshii uta o

Enjoyable songs when I'm bored,

楽しいときは幸せなうたを

tanoshii toki wa shiawase na uta o

happy songs when I'm enjoying myself,

幸せなら切ないうたも

shiawase nara setsunai uta mo

when I'm happy, sad songs too,

どんなうたをさあ歌おうか

donna uta o sā utaō ka

so then what kind of songs shall I sing?

過ぎ去った昨日に手を振って

sugisatta kinō ni te o futte

I wave goodbye to yesterday that's passed,

まだ見えない明日の手をとって

mada mienai ashita no te o totte

I grab hold of tomorrow yet unseen,

「さよなら」と「ありがとう」が言えたなら

"sayonara" to "arigatō" ga ieta nara

and if I got to say "goodbye" and "thank you"

今隣りで笑う君の手をとって

ima tonari de warau kimi no te o totte

I take your hand as you smile next to me.

最近はもっぱらインスタントで

saikin wa moppara insutanto de

Lately, all I've had is instant food:

お湯を注いで出来上がりだ

oyu o sosoide dekiagari da

add hot water and it's done.

だけどそれだけじゃ味気無いから

dakedo soredake ja ajikenai kara

However, it's too bland like that,

秘密のスパイス加えよう

himitsu no supaisu kuwaeyō

so I'll add my secret spice.

僕がなまけてるわけじゃないんだ

boku ga namakete'ru wake ja nai n da

It's not like I've been slacking off.

みんなが早過ぎるんだ

minna ga hayasugiru n da

It's that everyone rushing too much.

･･･って言っても

… tte itte mo

… having said that,

君は変な顔で笑うだけ

kimi wa hen na kao de warau dake

you're smiling there with a strange face.

もしかしてバカにしてんのかな

moshikashite baka ni shiten no ka na

Don't tell me you're making fun of me.

何言われても変わらない僕

nani iwarete mo kawaranai boku

With me not changing no matter what I'm told,

変わらなくてもあきらめない君

kawaranakute mo akiramenai kimi

and you persisting even though you don't change,

良くも悪くもならない明日

yoku mo waruku mo naranai asu

tomorrow will be neither better nor worse.

だけど「生きている」って思えた昨日

dakedo "ikite iru" tte omoeta kinō

Yesterday, however, I was able to feel alive.

つまらないときは楽しいうたを

tsumaranai toki wa tanoshii uta o

Enjoyable songs when I'm bored,

楽しいときは幸せなうたを

tanoshii toki wa shiawase na uta o

happy songs when I'm enjoying myself,

幸せなら切ないうたも

shiawase nara setsunai uta mo

when I'm happy, sad songs too,

こんなうたをさあ歌おうか

konna uta o sā utaō ka

so then shall I sing these kind of songs?

過ぎ去った昨日に手を振って

sugisatta kinō ni te o futte

I wave goodbye to yesterday that's passed,

まだ見えない明日の手をとって

mada mienai ashita no te o totte

I grab hold of tomorrow yet unseen,

「さよなら」と「ありがとう」が言えたなら

"sayonara" to "arigatō" ga ieta nara

and if I got to say "goodbye" and "thank you"

今隣りで笑う君の手をとって

ima tonari de warau kimi no te o totte

I take your hand as you smile next to me.

きっと明日も続く僕たちのLife

kitto ashita mo tsuzuku bokutachi no Life

It's sure to continue tomorrow, this Life of ours.
