Mr.Children / 終わりなき旅 (English Cover)

Here is my English version of Owarinaki Tabi (Endless Journey) by Mr.Children! ミスチルの「終わりなき旅」を英語で歌ってみました♪

This is my favorite Mr.Children song. I'm afraid I didn't do it justice because there were a lot of chords I'm not used to, so my playing is rather stilted and the tempo is sort of all over the place. But I hope my version helps English-speakers appreciate this song :)

ミスチルの曲の中で一番好きな曲です♪
なので、もっと上手に弾きたかったのですが、普段弾かないコードがたくさんあって苦労しましたし、テンポもめちゃくちゃになってしまいました(^_^;)　しかし、この英語バージョンが色々な方に役立てば嬉しいです(^O^)

Lyrics

Never looking back again
Down the road I’ve been running
Ran ‘til I could hardly breathe
I’ve got my eyes set on the future I can see
I set my dreams free

So hard to light a fire inside
It’s chiseling away my life
Like a sharpened grating knife
But I will drag along the shadows with the light
And carry on

And so I sing out, ‘til my voice rings out
That I only want someone to hold me dear
And I say to myself, don’t be a child anymore
But I keep looking for answers here

On the other side of every unturned key
There is something brand new waiting just for me
I know, I know that’s what keeps me moving on and on
Life’s never perfect, full of ups and downs
But nothing’s stopping me from trying the next door down
I will keep searching, I know there’s more to myself
The journey never ends

Even when I find a friend
Or someone with an ear to lend
The loneliness is calling out
But there is someone out there who couldn’t live without
Me by their side

And though your heart’s been torn all apart and
You cry for someone to love the pain away
You needn’t worry, ‘cause time will callously erase
Everything you ever felt someday

If you think until you cave under the strain
You’ll start to get so fed up with everything
Until you just want to quietly escape it all
But the higher that the wall is in front of you
All the better you will feel once you’ve made it through
I’m not ready to give up, I haven’t reached my limit yet

The times just keep on getting more complicated
And we seek the price we’ll pay
So people try to reconcile
Try to fit into the role they think they ought to play
Never stoop to imitation, ‘cause of you there’s only one
You won’t ever find a recipe for life, there is none

Never looking back again
Down the road I’ve been running
Ran ‘til I could hardly breathe
I see the path my dreams will take in front of me

On the other side of every unturned key
There is something brand new waiting, just you see
You know, just knowing that will keep you moving on and on
Life’s never perfect, full of ups and downs
But nothing’s stopping you from trying the next door down
Keep on, keep searching ‘cause there’s a better you out there

We can take the hesitation in our hearts
Make it positive and turn it into a new start
Always, as long as we just keep moving on and on

嫌なことばかりでは無いさ
iya na koto bakari de wa nai sa
さあ次の扉をノックしよう
saa tsugi no tobira wo nokku shiyou
もっと大きなはずの自分を探す
motto ooki na hazu no jibun wo sagasu
終わりなき旅　終わりなき旅
owari naki tabi owari naki tabi
