'Born To Be...' romaji and translation
 

(Born to be free, ano hi kara)

* Born to be free, ano hi kara
Yume wa tsuzuite iru

Tabidachi o eranda no wa adokenasa nokoru
Muboubi na egao shita kimi ya boku

Ano koro no bokura no you ni hitasura mujaki ni
Waratte iru no wa muzukashiku natte mo

Ima nara wakaru koto ga aru
Ima nara mieru mono ga aru

Dakara mou ichido omoidashite ru kimi to no ano yakusoku
Kantan ni wa akirame nai tte chikatta, wo wo

* (repeat)

Shippai wa akireru hodo kasanete kita kedo
Koukai dake wa nai you ni yatte kita

Ano koro no bokura ni moshimo dokoka de deatta ra
Mirai wa fuan ja nai to tsutae you

Itsuka wa yuruseru koto ga aru
Itsuka wa waraeru toki ga kuru

Hitoshirezu hiza o kakae nagara namida shite ita yoru o
Norikoeta chiisana senaka ga oshiete ru, wo wo

Ima nara wakaru koto ga aru
Ima nara mieru mono ga aru

Itsuka wa yuruseru koto ga aru
Itsuka wa waraeru toki ga kuru

Dakara mou ichido omoidashite ru kimi to no ano yakusoku
Kantan ni wa akirame nai tte chikatta, wo wo

Born to be free, itsu no hi mo
Yume wa wasure nai

Born to be free, kyou ga moshi
Yume ni tooku te mo
----------------------------------------
(Born to be free, since that day)

* Born to be free, since that day
My dream has continued

When we chose our ways to set out
You and I still looked like a child with unprotected smile

Though it has become difficult
To smile in complete innocence like we did at that time

We can realize more now
We can see more now

So I remember my promise to you
That I wouldn't easily give up, wo wo

* (repeat)

I terribly made one mistake after another
But I've lived so as not to regret my deeds

If I meet us at that time somewhere
I'll tell them not to feel uneasy about the future

We can forgive some day
We can smile some day

Your small back is telling me so, because you've gone through the nights
When you were weeping alone with your arms around your knees, wo wo

We can realize more now
We can see more now

We can forgive some day
We can smile some day

So I remember my promise to you
That I wouldn't easily give up, wo wo

Born to be free, always
I won't forget my dream

Born to be free, even if
I'm distant from the dream today

Very nice lyrics. I love the last two stanzas:

Born to be free, always
I don't forget my dream

Born to be free, even if
I'm distant from the dream today

Thank you, Masa!

But I've lived so as not to regret"

nice lyrics, thanks

thanks!

thanks a lot for the translation! :)

Thanks for the translation! I like the lyrics. :yes

How can you say that? I like it better than STARTIN' and it is fresh and new! The chorus is so much fun and WAY BETTER THAN FAIRYLAND! It has a very reminiscent Ayu feel, like something that might have been recordered during her RAINBOW days! One of the better Ayu songs that has been released in a LONG TIME! I really like this style :D

Also, they lyrics are amazing! Especially the last part, even though it isn't Ayu who actually sings that part...

Born to be free, even if
I'm distant from the dream today

thank you very much masa, love the lyrics!!!

Thanks for the translation masa... I like the lyrics. I prefer Startin' lyrics though..

I like this part of the lyrics too
:love

Thanks for the translation

You rock, Masa, these are pretty spiffy lyrics. :D

You are welcome. I changed some parts and editted my first post.

in all innocence like us --> in complete innocence like we did
the promise to you --> my promise to you
I've lived so as not to regret --> I've lived so as not to regret my deeds
you've got through the nights --> you've gone through the night
putting your arms around your knees --> with your arms around your knees
I don't forget my dream --> I won't forget my dream

masa-san, are you dome kind of COOL MEGA TRANSLATOR HERE???? (I am a newbie, so it's mu suggestion)
it must be a tough work! I admire such people! thank you so much!

Love the lyrics. Always wonder about the feelings behind her music myself.

same here! thank you, masa!

Ayu never fails to amaze me with her lyrics :love

Thanks for this translation Masa.

I editted my first post so that all the stanzas consist of two lines after looking at the official lyrics. And I corrected this small mistake.

Norikoete --> Norikoeta
