地図もなく 羅針盤も持たず
僕たちは 航海に出た
既にある 何かをみつける 旅ではなくて
新しい 世界を創る 旅だったから
これまでの 航跡が くっきりと浮かぶ
刻一刻が それぞれに
賑やかな 賑やかな 祭りだったね
限りない 暗黒を恐れず
夢だけを 舳先に立てた
幾つかの 悦び溢れる 成功もあり
数知れぬ 消しようのない 過ちもある
折れ曲がる 航跡が ほろ苦く浮かぶ
遠ざかるほど それぞれに
思い出は 思い出は 微笑むんだね
いつの日も 追憶に眠らず
未来にも すがりつくまい
この今を 真剣に遊べ 精一杯に
活き活きと 生きているかと 自らに問う
振り向けば 航跡は 波立って浮かぶ
頑張ったねと 和やかに
声かけて 声かけて 煌くんだね

Chizu mo naku rashinban mo motazu
Bokutachi wa koukai ni deta
Sude ni aru nani ka wo mitsukeru tabi de wa nakute
Atarashii sekai wo tsukuru tabi datta kara
Kore made no kouseki ga kukkiri to ukabu
Kokuikkoku ga sorezore ni
Nigiyaka na nigiyaka na matsuri datta ne
Kagiri nai ankoku wo osorezu
Yume dake wo hesaki ni tateta
Ikutsuka no yorokobi afureru seikou mo ari
Kazu shirenu keshi you no nai ayamachi mo aru
Oremagaru kouseki ga horonigaku ukabu
Toozakaru hodo sorezore ni
Omoide wa omoide wa hohoemunda ne
Itsu no hi mo tsuioku ni nemurazu
Mirai ni mo sugaritsuku mai
Kono ima wo shinken ni asobe seiippai ni
Ikiiki to ikite iru ka to mizukara ni tou
Furimukeba kouseki wa nami tatte ukabu
Ganbatta ne to nagoyaka ni
Koe kakete koe kakete kiramekunda ne

Without a map nor a compass
We set out on a voyage
It is not a journey to find something that's already been found
It is a journey to establish a new world
Our wake up to this point shows clearly
Each and every moment of our time
Was such a joyous, joyous festival
Fearing not the limitless darkness
We stand atop the bow with only our dreams
We have numerous successes brimming with joy
We also have countless inerasable failures
Our winding wake surfaces in a bittersweet fashion
Each and every of our memories, even fading memories
Are all smile-inducing
Do not lose sleep reminiscing everyday
Nor cling on to the future
Ask ourselves whether we have played earnestly
And lived vividly to the best of our abilities in this present time
When we look back, our wake swells and surfaces
Saying and saying gently
"You did well," and it glistens
