Kenshi Yonezu – Spinning Globe (English Translation Lyrics)[How do you live? Theme Song (Kimitachi wa Dō Ikiru ka)]
Year: 2023
Lyrics:
The clear sky on the day I was born was
so high, distant, and endless
The day I heard a voice patting me
on the back telling me to go ahead
Faces I met in the seasons,
at times hurting one another
Shine by the light, the shadow extends
as the sky grows further away
I catch the wind and start running, overcoming the rubble
At the end of this road, someone is waiting for me
Dream of light shining through, at any day of the week
Open the door this moment, like revealing hidden secrets
Can’t hold myself longing for more, like the spinning globe
The person I loved
has gone to somewhere no one knows
With the usual kind smile as any other day,
still somewhere far away
I take in the rain and start singing, not minding if seen
This road continues because I wished it would continue
I dream of meeting again, for ever and ever
I grasped the fragment firmly, so the secret remains
I’ll keep longing till the end, like the spinning globe
It all starts from an innocent wish made long ago
Carrying the loneliness in my heart,
I turn the corner
I catch the wind and start running, overcoming the rubble
At the end of this road, someone is waiting for me
Dream of light shining through, at any day of the week
Open the door this moment, like revealing hidden secrets
The joy of holding ones hand, the suffering of losing one
Can’t hold myself from picturing, like the spinning globe
