こっちのけんと – ごくろうさん (Gokurosan)

Japanese

LaLaLa

なんのうたに⼼を打たれ
⽣きてきたのか覚えているか
僕らのうたにそれらはあるか
⾒失うほど熱くなるもの
LaLaLa

無いはずさ
かけ離れた僕ら
きっとそれが⾃分らしさ
無いはずさ
まだ明るい明⽇
きっとこれが⾃分なんだ

負けてもいいから僕ら
痛みはするがくじけるもんか
強がって何度も⽣きてくれよ
悔しさが怒り出したか?
誰かのために疲れるもんさ
ごくろうさんで⽣きてくれよ
LaLaLa

誰のことを愛し続けて
⽣きてゆくのか覚えているか
僕らの未来置いてあるのは
息を呑むほど
幸せなこと

だからいいのさ今は
⼒の限り⼒を抜いて
転がって何度も逃げてくれよ
負けてもいいから僕ら
誰かのために⽣きてるもんさ
ひとりぽっちで死んでいくなよ
明⽇がこわくなったら
僕らが磨いたまんまるな声を
欲しがって何度も⽣きてくれよ
LaLaLa〜

English

LaLaLa

Do you remember
What songs moved your heart
And kept you living?
Do those songs exist within ours?
Something that burns so hot
You lose sight of yourself—
LaLaLa

Of course not,
We’re far apart,
But surely that’s what makes us who we are.
Of course not,
And yet tomorrow is still bright,
Surely that’s who I really am.

It’s okay to lose,
We may feel the pain, but we won’t give in.
Keep on living, again and again, with your bravado.
Did your frustration boil over into anger?
It’s natural to wear yourself out for someone else—
Keep on living with a “thank you for your hard work.”
LaLaLa

Do you remember
Whom you kept on loving
As you went on living?
What lies ahead of us in our future
Is something so breathtakingly
Happy.

So it’s fine, for now,
Pour out all your strength, then let it go.
Tumble and run away as many times as you need.
It’s okay to lose,
Because we’re living for someone else.
Don’t you dare die all alone.
If tomorrow starts to scare you,
Then crave, over and over,
That perfectly polished round voice of ours,
And keep on living.
LaLaLa~

Release Page

いざ自分の音楽や人生を振り返った時に自分に負け続けてきたなと思い、その感情や思いを曲にしました。
理想としてきた音楽や人生とは違う歩みをしてきましたが、それこそが自分らしさだなと良い意味で開き直った曲なので、是非皆さんも開き直って聴いていただければ嬉しいです!

When I looked back on my music and my life, I realized that I had been losing to myself over and over again. I turned those feelings and emotions into this song.

Although my path has been different from the ideal music and life I once imagined, I came to see that this is exactly what makes me who I am. This song is about embracing that truth in a positive way. I’d be really happy if you could also listen with that same sense of acceptance.

It’s been three years since our debut.

I’m truly grateful that at such a milestone, we were able to release “Gokurou-san.”

From here on, I’ll continue striving so that I can keep exhausting myself for the sake of someone else, just as always.

Thank you so much!!!
