Jeepta - Nisshin Geppo (english translation)

My wording is a little awkward in this translation, but these are really nice lyrics. Very uplifting.



日進月歩 / Steady Progress

Music and Lyrics: Taku Ishii

The beginning is always decided
A game of whack-a-mole where you always hit too late
When you’re doing nothing but chasing after something
It feels like you’ve entered a labyrinth

I got strangely worked up
What am I searching for?
What do I know?

We repeat a pattern of ups and downs,
It’s not smooth sailing
We explore fearlessly with trial and error, and improve ourselves
It’s only a small, small step
But it has an enormous, enormous meaning
Even if the immediate future is still dark
We’re always continuing to move forward

At some point, I lost sight of which way was forward, and my legs stopped moving
Because the route to the place that I need to aim for is one where I’m free to choose,
Should I start blazing my own trail?

Every day, every night, we’re advancing
The future where you pass through your goals is all yours

We’re rushing forward with all our might
Running wildly every which way
Groping around in the dark over and over again, trying to grab hold of the light
It’s only a few thin, thin rays of light,
But they become a wide, wide road
Even if the immediate future is still dark
We’re always continuing to move forward

We repeat a pattern of ups and downs,
It’s not smooth sailing
We explore fearlessly with trial and error, and improve ourselves
It’s only a small, small step
But it has an enormous, enormous meaning
Even if the immediate future is still dark
We can only keep moving forward

日進月歩 / Nisshin Geppo

Hajimari wa itsumo kimatte
Gotegote no MOGURA-tataki
Oikakete bakka itara
Meikyuu ni haitta kokochi

Myou ni kiotte shimatta
Boku wa nani o motome nani o kokoroeru?

Bokura wa isshinittai kurikaeshite
Junpuumanpan ja naku tte
Shikousakugo o shimakutte
Jibun o migaku
Tatta no chiisai chiisai ippo datte
Dekai dekai imi ga atte
Issunsaki ga yami datte
Taezu susumi-tsuzukeru n datte

Itsukara ka docchi ga “mae” ka o miushinatte ite
Ashi ga tomatte shimatta
Mezasu-beki basho e no RUUTO wa jiyuu sentaku dakara
Chotto kaitaku shiyou ka

Higoto yogoto ni ue e to nobotte
Koeta saki no mirai wa subete kimi no mono

Bokura wa isshoukenmei tsuppashitte
Uousaou shimakutte
Anchuumosaku kurikaeshite
Hikari o tsukamu
Wazuka na hosoi hosoi hikari datte
Futoi futoi michi ni natte
Issunsaki ga yami datte
Taezu susumi-tsuzukeru n datte

Bokura wa isshinittai kurikaeshite
Junpuumanpan ja naku tte
Shikousakugo o shimakutte
Jibun o migaku
Tatta no chiisai chiisai ippo datte
Dekai dekai imi ga atte
Issunsaki ga yami datte
Taezu susumu shika nai n datte
