Hitori de wa, tooi ashita wo
Yoake no mama de, koesou de
When I'm alone, tomorrow feels far away.Butsukatteikya kokeru omoi yo
And I must go over still into the darkness of dawn.
If I try to play it straight, it will no doubt fail,Sanzan sugite doryoku no ato mo
And tonight it won't go well between us again.
You can't see all of my hard efforts, because it's only resultYaru dake son suru yona, mainichi wa
Is that it makes no sense. It really is a "tightrope".
More effort, more damage--this is my daily life.Atsukute, tsurai jibun wo kakushite, mijikai toki wo ikiteru
Taking a cynical attitude may give me some comfort...
Hiding myself, heated and irritated; living only a short time.Hitori de wa, tooi ashita wo
When I'm alone, tomorrow feels far away.Hottokeba, hashiru omoi yo
And I must go over still into the darkness of dawn.
If I let my emotions free,Kanpeki to chau, jinsei no shuushi
My dreams will once again not go well.
I think the balance sheet of my life is imperfect.Shinu made ni tsukaikiru, un no kazu
If I add up the plusses and minuses, will it really equal zero?
I want to control all my luckWakacchainai, kimi nara dou ni demo, rikutsu wo kaete ii noni
That may be used up before my life is ended.
You don't know--you can change logic at your will.Nando kimi ni, ketsu mazuitemo
I hurt myself because of you, over and over;Shinjikaneru, utaretsuyosa yo
But my love didn't go away--it kept coming back.
The toughness gained from my damage is unbelievable.Nando nankai, kurikaeshitemo
I won't be able to sleep at all tonight either.
However many times it's repeated,.Butsukatteiku, kesunu omoi wo
It revives again and again--because it's love.
You can't blame my emotion,Hitori de wa, tooi ashita wo
Because you should know it will never fade away.
When I'm alone, tomorrow feels far away.Aishou yori mo, fukai futari wa
And even though I'm in the darkness of dawn, I have to go.
I don't care about "bad affinity".
Even if our love is not doing well,
Nevertheless we have deep ties.

HEART OF SWORD?夜明け前?
「るろうに剣心」エンディング・テーマ
独りでは 遠い明日を
夜明けのままで 越えそうで
ブツかっていきゃ コケる想いよ
今夜もまた すれ違い
散々すぎて努力の跡も
なくなる結果 ONLY の 網渡り
やるだけ損するよな 毎日は
斜に構えてた方こそ 楽になる
熱くてつらい自分を隠して 短い時代を生きてる
独りでは 遠い明日を
夜明けのままで 越えそうで
放っとけば 走る想いよ
夢もまた すれ違い
完璧とちゃう 人生の収支
ブラマイ・ゼロだなんてば ホントかな?
死ぬまでに使い切る 運の数
せめて 自分で出し入れをさせて
ワカッちゃいない 君ならどーにでも 理屈を変えていいのに
何度君に 蹴つまついても
戻ってきちゃう 愛情に
信じかねる 打たれ強さよ
今夜も ソートー眠れない
何度何回 繰り返しても
戻ってきちゃう 愛だから
ブツかっていく 消せぬ想いを
責める方が 筋違い
独りでは 遠い明日を
夜明けのままで 越えてゆく
相性よりも 深いふたりは
すれ違って 構わない
歌:T.M.Revolution
