Verse 1

terasu wa yami bokura wa arukinaretekita hibi mo touta

Darkness is what lights our way, and even the days we'd grown used to walking get swept away

yume wa antaina kurashi da ga

The dream is a secure life

shigeki busoku yue ni taratara

But for lack of thrills, we just drag along

terasu wa yami bokura no arukinareteita michi wa doko da

The light has died out, where's the road we used to know so well?

toki wa tamani shaku da ga

Time gets on my nerves sometimes, but

nukumori ni tsutsumare tada

I'm just wrapped in warmth

honoo ga tatsu shirube no hou e

A flame rises toward the guiding light

omoidasu wa yasashii merodii

What comes back to me is a gentle melody

Chorus 1

eien wa nainda to nainda to ifu

They say there's no forever, there's no forever

sore mo mata ii ne to warattemiru

I let myself laugh, saying that's nice too

kagayakeba itsuka wa hikari mo taeru

If it shines, someday its light will die out too

bokura wa inochi no hi ga kieru sono hi made aruiteyuku

We'll keep walking until the day the fire of our lives goes out

Verse 2

tokorode naze bokura wa shikou o kyuuni yameteirunda

By the way, why is it that we suddenly stop thinking?

yume wa antaina kurashi da ga

The dream is a secure life

chishiki busoku yue ni harahara

Nervous because we don't know enough

shokuseba yummy yosuga ni sugaritsuita mama kuchiteikunda

Eat it and it's yummy, we'll rot away still clinging to what we lean on

koko wa gouka no naka da ga

This place is in the middle of hellfire, but

kizuato ga hiritsuki tada

My scars just sting

minamo ga tatsu hikari no hou e

The water's surface stirs toward the light

te o toru wa atarashii memorii

What takes my hand is a new memory

yozora ga wakatsu shirube no hou e

The night sky splits apart toward the guiding light

saegiru wa katakurushii seorii

What stands in my way is a rigid theory

Chorus 2

eien wa nainda to nainda to ifu

They say there's no forever, there's no forever

yappa kurushii ne to naitemiru

I let myself cry, "It really hurts after all"

fuusen mo itsuka wa shibomu ka wareru

Even a balloon will someday shrink or burst

bokura wa inochi no izumi o mamoritsuzukete tsunaideyuku

We keep protecting the spring of life and pass it on

Bridge 1

manabikirezu ni sotsugyou

I graduate without having learned it all

tsutaekirezu ni shitsuren

Heartbroken without saying all I meant

asobikirezu ni ketsubetsu

I part ways without having played enough

mendokusai ga jigoku jaarumai shi

It's a pain, but it's not like it's hell

Chorus 3

oto ga deru omocha mo

The toys that make sounds

itami o tobasu mahou mo

And the magic that makes pain fly away

zenbu boku ni totte no takaramono

Are all treasures to me

eien wa nainda to nainda to ifu

They say there's no forever, there's no forever

bokura wa inochi no hi ga kieru sono hi made aruiteyuku

We'll keep walking until the day the fire of our lives goes out

Mrs.GREEN APPLE take a song called "Inferno" and turn it into something surprisingly gentle. The fire here is less about punishment and more about the flame of being alive. The hook keeps coming back to one blunt idea: "永遠は無いんだと無いんだと云フ" [they say there is no forever, there is no forever]. The first time, the singer shrugs and laughs, "それもまたイイねと笑ってみる" [I try laughing and saying that is nice too]. Later the same news hurts, and he admits "やっぱ苦しいねと泣いてみる" [it really is painful, I try crying]. I love that the song lets both reactions be true.

The verses are full of small, honest gripes. Life is safe but dull, then confusing: "知識不足故にハラハラ" [on edge from lack of knowledge]. ハラハラ is a sound word for nervous, heart-in-your-mouth worry, and earlier タラタラ describes dragging along lazily. Then comes a list every learner should steal: "学びきれずに卒業" [graduating without learning it all], "伝えきれずに失恋" [heartbreak without saying it all]. The 〜きれずに pattern means "without managing to finish". His answer is cheeky: "地獄じゃあるまいし" [it's not like this is hell], which is funny in a song named Inferno. It ends on toys and little magic as treasures, and the promise to keep walking "命の火が消えるその日まで" [until the day the fire of life goes out].
