The roots of the tree of life
aren't easily uprooted
So maybe you should start with yourself
If you want to change the world
Don't say yes mindlessly
Don't say no mindlessly
If you follow
your own mind
You surely won't regret it
If only I could reach it
Going the distance
It would be possible
With the strength of
the people around me
Standing strong is so easy
But standing alone,
what can I do?
Every step I take
I know for sure
it is changing me
The tree of life shall never be felled
Not today and not tomorrow either
Don't give in to others' expectations
If you dislike them
Don't fall behind
Don't run ahead
If you stick
to your own pace
You surely won't regret it
It's not all that hard to do
Staying true to who we are
It would be possible
With only our resolution
and each other as support
Heading to the future
A thousand hands on my back,
filled with purpose
Every step we take
I know for sure
it is changing the world
Don't stay complacent
Don't fight needless fights
If you know
what you want
You surely won't regret it
The tree of life will never die
even in a newer generation
when a lesser value is placed on life
Don't forget
The tree of life connects us
in an infinite spider web,
invisible to the eye
and mind
but not to the heart
When the whole world
tells you to move,
it's up to you to plant
yourself by the truth
and say
"No."
The roots of the tree of life
aren't easily uprooted
So maybe you should start with yourself
If you want to change the world

リグナム バイターの根は
容易に根絶されない
多分自身で始めるべき
世界を変えたいなら
無思慮に「はい」と言ってはいけない
無思慮に「いいえ」と言ってはいけない
自分のマインドに
従っているなら
必ず後悔しない
もし達することができれば
遠くに行くことは
可能だろう
周りの人の
力で
強い立場はとても簡単だよ
けれど一人で立ってる、
僕はどうしよう？
一歩一歩
確かに知っている
僕を変えている
リグナム バイターは決して倒されない
今日じゃなく明日じゃなく
他人の期待に屈しないで
それらを嫌うなら
遅れてはいけない
先行してはいけない
自分のペースに
固執すれば
必ず後悔しない
難しいことじゃない
僕らが誰であるかに忠実こと
可能であろう
僕らの決断と
お互いのサポートだけで
未来へ行く
背中には何千もの手がある
目的に満ちた
一歩一歩
確かに知っている
世界を変えている
満足してはいけない
不必要な戦いはいけない
欲しいことを
知っているなら
必ず後悔しない
リグナム バイターは決して死ぬ
新しい世代でさえも
人生が価値がないさえも
忘れないで
リグナム バイターは僕らをつなぐ
無限の蜘蛛の巣で、
目とマインドに
見えないけど
心臓に見える
全世界が君に
移動を指示すると、
君自身を真実で
植えるのは君次第と
言うこと
「いや。」
リグナム バイターの根は
容易に根絶されない
多分自身で始めるべき
世界を変えたいなら
