This song was also given a professional English translation by the team of THE FIRST TAKE.
The translation is as follows:
In the middle of the crossroad
I suddenly become anxious
That light, how long
Will it remain green?
The light suddenly began to blink
Is it hurrying me along?
Before I knew it, I'd started
Walking faster, just a little
My intentions
Didn't seem to matter
Everybody
Began to run at once
What are they running from and why the hurry? I laugh
As I look on objectively
I don't like that part of myself
My decision was triggered
Not by logic
It always starts from an impulse of the heart
Don't want to go along with the crowd
I keep resisting
To live is to make a choice
To choose just one
When I walk across the crosswalk
I always think
If only my heart had
A traffic signal like this
Go forward and then
Stop
If that was a rule
I could just go along without worrying
Instructions from somebody
I don't want to wait for them
If I want to run
I'll decide when to take the first step
I want to become someone with a strong will
Another me from another day
I'll look for her
My decision was triggered
Not because I ran out of time
It's because I thought about it and wanted to believe in the future
Don't want regrets
Do as I think
Don't know what's right
But I only have one
Life
Look, in the crowd
Someone's started to run
Then they all begin to run
It's about yourself
And yet you can't come to a decision
Just a little encouragement
Is all we need
A trigger
My decision was triggered
Not by logic
It always starts from an impulse of the heart
Don't want to go along with the crowd
I keep resisting
To live is to make a choice
To choose just one
Make your own decisions
Just as you believe
Live on
