It's been a bit over a year since I wrote here, and again, it's another translation of a Yuuri song! This song is about valuing oneself. Watch the official music video on Youtube.
Translation
An old person told you,
"I want to buy some of your remaining life.
I'll pay you 50 billion yen for 50 years."
They said they wanted to do their life over.
A daily life that's just waking up and eating and working
And sleeping and getting up and working
Yet I didn't want to let go of it
And I thought about why
My body might start to hurt
My friends may begin to disappear
And I might not be able to find love
So I can't sell my life at that price
This time that I'm alive
Is worth more than 50 billion, isn't it?
I'm profiting just by living
What more do I need?
So the old man said,
"If that's the case, then I'll give you 100 billion.
"I'll even throw in a wife and a child.
"And a mansion and a job."
Making 100 billion in 50 years,
Would make me a rich man earning 200 million a year.
But I want to find love on my own
So I don't need this.
This time that I'm alive
Is worth more than 100 billion, isn't it?
I'm profiting just by living
The present where I can be anything is better.
Any kind of dream you have is good
Any kind of love you have is good
I can't possibly give up these
Infinite possibilities
Even if I get stuck dozens of times
I won't give up
The reason that I live
Is something I decide
This time that I'm alive
Is definitely not something that's cheap
So I want to make decisions that I won't regret
Let's do our best, let's do our best, do your best
Let's do our best, let's do our best, do your best
Let's do our best, let's do our best, do your best
Let's do our best, let's do our best, do your best
Original lyrics
ビリミリオン by 優里
老人が君に言いました
『残りの寿命を買わせてよ
50年を 50億で買おう』
人生をやり直したいと
ただ起きて食って働いて
寝て起きて働く毎日だ
それなのに手放したくない
理由を考えてみたよ
身体も痛くなるだろうし
友達もいなくなるんだろうな
恋愛もできなくなるよな
その値段じゃ売れないな
僕が生きてるこの時間は
50億以上の価値があるでしょう
生きているだけでまるもうけ
これ以上何が欲しいというの
老人が君に言いました
『それなら倍の 100 億出そう
奥さん、子供もつけるから』
『豪邸も仕事もつけるからさ』
50年が 100億ならば
年収 2億の大富豪だ
でも好きな人は自分でさ
見つけたいからいらないよ
僕が生きてるこの時間は
100 億以上の価値があるでしょう
生きているだけでまるもうけ
何にでもなれる今がいいの
どんな夢を描いてもいい
どんな恋をしたっていい
無限大の可能性は
誰にも譲れない
何十回立ち止まっても
それでも僕を諦めない
僕が生きる理由は
僕が決めるから
僕らが生きる時間は
決して安いものじゃないから
後悔しない選択を選んで欲しいの
頑張ろう 頑張ろう 頑張れ
頑張ろう 頑張ろう 頑張れ
頑張ろう 頑張ろう 頑張れ
頑張ろう 頑張ろう 頑張れ
- In a recent video, Yuuri said that when he sings "頑張ろう 頑張ろう 頑張れ", he's thinking about how he's trying to encourage each and every person in the audience.
