Romanized Lyrics

Haikei kono tegami yonde iru anata wa doko de nani wo shite iru no darou

Juugo no boku ni wa dare ni mo hanasenai nayami no tane ga aru no desu

Mirai no jibun ni atete kaku tegami nara
Kitto sunao ni uchiakerareru darou

Ima makesou de nakisou de kiete shimaisou na boku wa
Dare no kotoba wo shinji arukeba ii no?
Hitotsu shika nai kono mune ga nando mo barabara ni warete
Kurushii naka de ima wo ikite iru
Ima wo ikite iru

Haikei arigatou juugo no anata ni tsutaetai koto ga aru no desu

Jibun to wa nani de doko e mukau beki ka toi tsuzukereba miete kuru

Areta seishun no umi wa kibishii keredo
Asu no kishibe e to yume no fune yo susume

Ima makenaide nakanai de kiete shimaisou na toki wa
Jibun no koe wo shinji arukeba ii no
Otona no boku mo kizutsuite nemurenai yoru wa aru kedo
Nigakute amai ima wo ikite iru

Jinsei no subete ni imi ga aru kara osorezu ni anata no yume wo sodatete
Keep on believing

Makesou de nakisou de kiete shimaisou na boku wa
Dare no kotoba wo shinji arukeba ii no?
Aa makenaide nakanai de kiete shimaisou na toki wa
Jibun no koe wo shinji arukeba ii no

Itsu no jidai mo kanashimi wo sakete wa toorenai keredo
Egao wo misete ima wo ikite yukou
Ima wo ikite yukou

Haikei kono tegami yonde iru anata ga
Shiawase na koto wo negaimasu

English Lyrics

Dear Recipient, I wonder where you are and what you're doing while reading this letter

As a fifteen-year-old, there's a seed of worry inside me that I can't share with anyone

If I were writing this letter to my future self
I'm sure I could be honest and open

Now, feeling like I'm losing, like I'm about to cry, like I'm about to disappear
Whose words should I believe to keep walking?
My heart, which only has one, breaks into pieces over and over again
But I'm living in the midst of pain
Living in the present

Dear Recipient, thank you. There's something I want to tell you, fifteen-year-old self

If you keep questioning who you are and where you should be heading
You'll start to see the answers

The stormy sea of youth may be harsh
But sail your dream boat towards tomorrow's shore

Now, don't give up, don't cry, when it feels like you're about to disappear
You should believe in your own voice and keep walking
Even as an adult, there are nights when I'm wounded and can't sleep
But I'm living in the bitter and sweet present

Because there's meaning in every aspect of life, don't be afraid to nurture your dreams
Keep on believing

Feeling like I'm losing, like I'm about to cry, like I'm about to disappear
Whose words should I believe to keep walking?
Ah, don't give up, don't cry, when it feels like you're about to disappear
You should believe in your own voice and keep walking

In any era, we can't avoid sadness
But let's show our smiles and keep living in the present
Let's keep living in the present

Dear Recipient, I wish you happiness as you read this letter

Japanese Lyrics

拝啓 この手紙読んでいるあなたは どこで何をしているのだろう

十五の僕には誰にも話せない 悩みの種があるのです

未来の自分に宛てて書く手紙なら
きっと素直に打ち明けられるだろう

今 負けそうで 泣きそうで 消えてしまいそうな僕は
誰の言葉を信じ歩けばいいの?
ひとつしかないこの胸が何度もばらばらに割れて
苦しい中で今を生きている
今を生きている

拝啓 ありがとう 十五のあなたに伝えたい事があるのです

自分とは何でどこへ向かうべきか 問い続ければ見えてくる

荒れた青春の海は厳しいけれど
明日の岸辺へと 夢の舟よ進め

今 負けないで 泣かないで 消えてしまいそうな時は
自分の声を信じ歩けばいいの
大人の僕も傷ついて眠れない夜はあるけど
苦くて甘い今を生きている

人生の全てに意味があるから 恐れずにあなたの夢を育てて
Keep on believing

負けそうで 泣きそうで 消えてしまいそうな僕は
誰の言葉を信じ歩けばいいの?
ああ 負けないで 泣かないで 消えてしまいそうな時は
自分の声を信じ歩けばいいの

いつの時代も悲しみを避けては通れないけれど
笑顔を見せて 今を生きていこう
今を生きていこう

拝啓 この手紙読んでいるあなたが
幸せな事を願います
