Jpop Recommend #404 Ahead Ahead by Ame no Parade

Ahead Ahead

by 雨のパレード Ame no Parade


The band released this song in April 2019.  During  the Olympic Games, I was amazed to see that most of the games were carried out as planned while there were so many challenges and obstacles.
Even though I couldn't get out to watch the players compete, the Olympic Games brought excitement, tears and smiles into my home.

I picked the song for this week because its lyrics were like 応援歌, oh-enka or cheer-up song for all athletes who tried their best.  The next games are only 3 years ahead!

涙         で  濡らした   僕      たち  の    物語          が あって
Namida de nurashita boku tachi no monogatari ga atte
There were stories of us in tears
ひとつ  ひとつ  に  全部   意味 が あった
hitotsu hitotsu ni zenbu imi ga atta
Each and every story had its meaning


ひたすら に  走った   気づいたら  泥   だらけ に  なって
hitasura ni hashitta kizuitara  doro darake ni natte
I tried my best running hard and when I realized I was covered in mud 
長い    長い  旅    は   道    に なって
nagai nagai tabi wa michi ni natte
Long long journey has turned into a path
がむしゃら  に 描いた あの   夢     は  まだ     形      に  ならず
gamushara ni egaita ano yume wa mada katachi ni narazu
That reckless dream I'd drawn is yet to come true
遠い 遠い 場所    で   僕    を 待ってる
tooi tooi basho de boku wo matteru
It still wait for me in a far away place



I am here 僕ら    は  いま  ここ に いる
                bokura wa ima koko ni  iru
I am here  We are still here right now
Hey, I am here まだ    想い  は   届かない    まま
                         mada omoi wa todokanai mama
Hey, I am here and I can't reach my goal yet


あの 高く     飛ぶ  鳥  の  ように Ahead ahead…
ano takaku tobu tori no youni
Like that bird flying up high   ahead and ahead
もう 迷わない         僕たち    は Ahead ahead…
mou mayowanai bokutachi wa 
I won't hesitate  We will go ahead and ahead
Do it do it love if we make it all right
Do it do it love if we make it for life
羽ばたいて 少し       前   へ 君    を   連れて
habataite  sukoshi mae e kimi wo tsurete
I will fly a bit forward taking you 
これから   この   先  へ Ahead ahead…
korekara kono saki e
from now on and going ahead and ahead


あの 日 の 僕     たち  は
ano hi no boku tachi wa 
On that day we were
ただ  最初      横    並び    に 立って
tada saisho yoko-narabi ni tatte
just standing in a line at the start
同時 に  位置 に 着いてスタート  切った
douji ni ichi ni tsute    start     kitta
got in position and made a start at the same time

I am here 僕ら     は いま ここ に いる
                bokura wa ima koko ni iru
I am here  We are still here right now
I am here まだ   想い   は   届かない    まま
                 mada omoi wa todokanai mama
I am here and I can't reach my goal yet


あの   高く  飛ぶ   鳥   の ように Ahead
ano takaku tobu tori no youni
Like that bird flying up high   ahead and ahead
もう  戻らない     この  場所   へ は  Ahead
mou modoranai kono basho e wa
I won't come back to this place but just go ahead
Do it love, we'll make it all right
Do it love, we'll make it for life
翼           広げ 少し      前    へ
tsubasa hiroge sukoshi mae e
I will stretch my wings to go a bit forward
君    を  連れて   いく
kimi wo tsurete iku
and take you with me


あの 高く     飛ぶ  鳥  の  ように Ahead ahead…

Like that bird flying up high   ahead and ahead
もう 迷わない         僕たち    は Ahead ahead…

I won't hesitate  We will go ahead and ahead
Do it love, we'll make it all right
Do it love, we'll make it for life
