Nogizaka46 - Hito wa Naze Hashiru no ka? lyrics

Single: Hashire! Bicycle (走れ！Bicycle)

Japanese (Kanji / S-JIS) Lyrics 歌詞

    人はどうして走り出したんだろう?
    ゆっくりと歩いてた方が楽だったはず
    そんなに急ぐ理由はないでしょう
    心の中が燃えて来て
    きっと風を探したんだね

    だだっ広いこのフィールドに立ち
    ノース サウス ウェスト イースト
    右手 翳(かざ)してみたよ
    照りつける太陽から
    きっかけをもらって汗を流したい

    そうだ
    鳥のように空は飛べないけれど
    大地を蹴ったら
    昨日までの僕より
    遠く行ける

    人はどうして夢見始めたんだろう?
    ぐっすり眠ってた方が休めたはずさ
    できないことをやってみたかったんだ
    やがていつしか目を開けて
    夢見られる僕らになった

    足下にひとつのボール どこへ
    ライト レフト フォワード バック
    何を目指せばいいの?
    果てしない地平線へ
    いつか辿り着く 荒い息の涯(はて)

    そうだ
    花のようにここに咲けないけれど
    あの空を見上げれば
    きっと 今日の僕より
    背伸びできる

    人はどうして走り出したんだろう?
    ゆっくりと歩いてた方が楽だったはず
    そんなに急ぐ理由はないでしょう
    心の中が燃えて来て
    きっと風を探したんだね

    一人きりで走るよりも
    仲間たちがいるといい
    走ることが好きな奴は
    集まれ!

    人はどうして笑い始めたんだろう?
    生存競争 余裕はなかったはずさ
    誰かに愛を伝えたかったのかな
    今なら僕も笑えるよ
    走りながら

    人はどうして夢見始めたんだろう?
    ぐっすり眠ってた方が休めたはずさ
    できないことをやってみたかったんだ
    やがていつしか目を開けて
    夢見られる僕らになった

English Translation Lyrics

     I wonder why people start running?
     I was supposed to be easier, who was walking slowly
     Would have no reason to hurry
     Burning in your heart to come
     I'm sure I was looking for the wind

     Standing in this field rambling
     North South East West
     I tried to right shadow (decorated)
     From the blazing sun
     I want to work up a sweat and get a chance

     Likely
     I do not fly in the sky like a bird
     I kicked the ground
     Than me until yesterday
     I go far

     I wonder why people began dreaming?
     Who was fast asleep when there should not have been resting
     I'm wanted to do that you can not
     Open your eyes some day soon
     Now we be dreaming

     To where the ball of one foot
     Wright left back forward
     What should I aim for?
     To the endless horizon
     Lifelong breath rough arrive sometime (End)

     Likely
     But not like a flower bloom here
     If I look up to the sky that
     I'm sure from today's
     You can stretch

     I wonder why people start running?
     I was supposed to be easier, who was walking slowly
     Would have no reason to hurry
     Burning in your heart to come
     I'm sure I was looking for the wind

     Than run alone
     I hope you have colleagues
     That run a guy you like
     Gather!

     I wonder why people began to laugh?
     There was no room there should struggle for survival
     I wonder how he wanted to tell someone to love
     Now if I also laugh
     While running

     I wonder why people began dreaming?
     Who was fast asleep when there should not have been resting
     I'm wanted to do that you can not
     Open your eyes some day soon
     Now we be dreaming
