足跡 ashiato – MONKEY MAJIK
作曲：Maynard｜Blaise｜tax
作詞：Maynard｜Blaise｜tax
どんなに苦しい風が吹こうと
I remember
Nothing is going to stop me
No never stop me
It’s hard to climb the wall
You look down and you’ll see
you’ve got nothing to fear at all
Take the time to breathe
‘Cause the more you shake,
you hesitate, you gotta put yourself at ease
I’ve always weighed myself down way too long
I should’ve opened up when I was wrong
Your time is here,
I’ll take that chance, no looking back
You push, and push so hard
So hard that I won’t fall
幼い頃 何度転んでもまた立ち上がって
あと少し 日が暮れるまでペダルを漕ぎ続けた
あたえられた一つの
大きな問いかけにも
小さな手に全てをかけて
あの頃ボクは夢をみていた
Nothing’s gonna stop me from
where I wanna get to
I’ll remember
Never will forget
’cause we were having such a good time
Never ask for less,
’cause you know you’re gonna get more
I keep moving on
I do my best, and try not to fall apart
There are times when we lose,
And more times when we win
But there’s something that you never can forget
Never give up
すれ違っていく 子供達が風を切って走っていく
いつのまにか
なにかにつけて諦めることが多くなっていて
あたえられた一つの
大きな問いかけにも
ココロとカラダがはなればなれ
もう一度あの日のように
どんなに苦しい風が吹こうと
I remember
Nothing is going to stop me
遠く速くそしてもっと高く
諦めない
明日はきっと待っているから
ボクにとって夢を掴むため
今するべきことそれは
You might not always be standing on the top
There’s a wind that pushes past
you when you fall
And whatever path you take,
there’s moment where you break
And I’ll be on the sidelines cheering you on
どんなに苦しい風が吹こうと
I remember
Nothing is going to stop me 今しかないよね
遠く速くそしてもっと高く
諦めない
明日はきっと待っているから
But there’s something that you never can forget
ボクにとって夢を掴むため
今するべきことそれは
There’s just one thing
that you never can forget
Never give up

n.b.
MONKEY MAJIK is a Japanese-Canadian pop rock band formed in 2000 in Sendai. The band consists of Canadian brothers, Maynard and Blaise Plant (both lead vocalists and guitarists), and two Japanese members: Tax on drums, and Dick on bass. Due to the blend of Eastern and Western pop rock influences, Monkey Majik has often been referred to as a “hybrid band”. They have also been chosen as “Goodwill Ambassadors” for the 80th anniversary of Japanese-Canadian relations.
