虹(にじ)を掴(つか)む夢(ゆめ)を見(み)れば空(そら)も飛(と)べた
If you dream that you can touch a rainbow, you can fly.
あの頃(ころ)の情熱(じょうねつ)を覚(おぼ)えているかい？
Do you remember the passion you had?
叶(かな)えたいと瞳(ひとみ)閉(と)じれば★(ほし)も盗(ぬす)めた
If you closed your eyes and made a wish, you could steal the stars.

そこを越(こ)えろすべてを捨(す)てろ昨日(きのう)を忘(わす)れろ！
Forget everything beyond that, forget about yesterday!
君(きみ)だけの孤独(こどく)に今(いま)ケリをつけろ！
Think about your loneliness!
誰(だれ)のための自(じ)分(ぶん)なのか影(かげ)を振(ふ)り切(き)れ！
Get over the wall of who you really are!

Ｂｏｙ(ボーイ)！　流(なが)れる涙(なみだ)に過去(かこ)が零(こぼ)れ落(お)ちてゆく
Boy! The past falls with your tears.
目(め)の前(まえ)の壁(かべ)を乗(の)り越(こ)え未来(みらい)に向(む)かって
Climb over the wall before you and head towards the future.

変(か)わる時(じ)代(だい)の中(なか)で変(か)わらない夢(ゆめ)を掴(つか)もう
In these changing times, hold onto your never-changing dreams.
激(はげ)しい雨(あめ)に打(う)たれても現(げん)実(じつ)に流(なが)されない…君(きみ)でいるために
Even if the pounding rain falls on you, don’t be washed away by reality… Be true to yourself.
Ｍｙ(マイ)　ｄｒｅａｍ(ドリーム)　ｗｉｌｌ(ウイール)　ｎｅｖｅｒ(ネバー)　ｃｈａｎｇｅ(チェンジ)！
My dream will never change!

君(きみ)はあの日(ひ)名前(なまえ)のない風(かぜ)に生(う)まれた
You were born as wind without that day’s name.
やがていつか大空(おおぞら)の広(ひろ)さを知(し)る時(とき)
When I know a patch of sky sometime before long,
あきらめることの悔(くや)しさを噛(か)みしめる
I bite the vexation of giving it up.

Ｂｏｙ(ボーイ)！　自(じ)由(ゆう)の扉(とびら)を目指(めざ)して今日(きょう)を生(い)きてゆく
Boy! Today I head towards the freedom door.
誰(だれ)もが明日(あす)を思(おも)い悩(なや)むその時(とき)
Anyone worries about tomorrow then.

変(か)わる時(じ)代(だい)の中(なか)で変(か)わらない愛(あい)を探(さが)そう
In these changing times, look for your never-changing love.
例(たと)え世界(せかい)が終(お)わっても目(め)の前(まえ)の愛(あい)を守(たど)る…君(きみ)でいるために
Even if the world is over, keep your up-front love… Be true to yourself.
Ｍｙ(マイ)　ｌｏｖｅ(ラヴ)　ｗｉｌｌ(ウイール)　ｎｅｖｅｒ(ネバー)　ｃｈａｎｇｅ(チェンジ)！
My love will never change!

Ｂｏｙ(ボーイ)！　君(きみ)は何(なに)を願(ねが)い夢(ゆめ)みてたの
Boy! You dream in hope of anything.
あの頃(ころ)のときめきを今(いま)もう一度(いちど)その胸(むね)に
That time’s palpitation is now once again on your chest.

変(か)わる時(じ)代(だい)の中(なか)で変(か)わらない祈(いの)り込(こ)めて
In these changing times, say your never-changing prayer.
どれほど今日(きょう)が辛(つら)くても明日(あす)はきっと
Even if today’s hard, anything is sure tomorrow.

過(す)ぎ去(さ)る日々(ひび)に別(わか)れ告(つ)げろ！叶(かな)わぬ夢(ゆめ)は捨(す)て去(さ)れ！
In these passing days, tell them I say you goodbye! Throw away the unfulfilled dreams!
過去(かこ)にこだわらなぬように想(おも)い出(で)はすべて消(け)し去(さ)れ！
Get rid of all your memories, as if the past means nothing to you!

変(か)わる時(じ)代(だい)の中(なか)で変(か)わらない夢(ゆめ)を掴(つか)もう
In these changing times, hold onto your never-changing dreams.
激(はげ)しい雨(あめ)に打(う)たれても現(げん)実(じつ)に流(なが)されない…君(きみ)でいるために
Even if the pounding rain falls on you, don’t be washed away by reality… Be true to yourself.
Ｍｙ(マイ)　ｄｒｅａｍ(ドリーム)　ｗｉｌｌ(ウイール)　ｎｅｖｅｒ(ネバー)　ｃｈａｎｇｅ(チェンジ)！
My dream will never change!
Ｍｙ(マイ)　ｄｒｅａｍ(ドリーム)　ｗｉｌｌ(ウイール)　ｎｅｖｅｒ(ネバー)　ｃｈａｎｇｅ(チェンジ)！
My dream will never change!
Ｍｙ(マイ)　ｌｏｖｅ(ラヴ)　ｗｉｌｌ(ウイール)　ｎｅｖｅｒ(ネバー)　ｃｈａｎｇｅ(チェンジ)！
My love will never change!
［Ｍｙ(マイ)　ｄｒｅａｍ(ドリーム)　ｗｉｌｌ(ウイール)　ｎｅｖｅｒ(ネバー)　ｃｈａｎｇｅ(チェンジ)！］
[My dream will never change!]

The odd-number lines are original Kanji-Kana taken from THE ALFEE’s official Web site (except that I added my own Furigana/Rubytext in order to help you read them if you’ren’t good remembering Kanji pronunciations); even-number lines are a suitable English translation (part taken from the Figure 17 US-release DVD series, part from my own brain). If you still can’t read Hiragana/Katakana, then I invite you to read my own Romanized (not translated) version at AnimeLyrics.
