## Comments

"We were supposed to be born with nothing.

We were born with nothing, but we become timid for fear of making mistake or losing something. I am glad that they have taken good care of the song 'Korogaru Iwa, Kimi ni Asa ga Furu' which is about our determination to roll through this world naked."

-Masafumi Gotoh of ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION.

出来れば世界を僕は塗り変えたい

戦争をなくすような大逸れたことじゃない

だけどちょっと それもあるよな

俳優や映画スターには成れない

それどころか 君の前でさえも上手に笑えない

そんな僕に術はないよな

嗚呼…

何を間違った?

それさえもわからないんだ

ローリング ローリング

初めから持ってないのに胸が痛んだ

僕らはきっとこの先も

心絡まって ローリング ローリング

凍てつく地面を転がるように走り出した

赤い小さな車は君を乗せて

遠く向こうの角を曲がって

此処からは見えなくなった

何をなくした?

それさえもわからないんだ

ローリング ローリング

初めから持ってないのに胸が痛んだ

僕らはきっとこの先も

心絡まって ローリング ローリング

凍てつく世界を転がるように走り出した

Dekireba sekai o boku wa nurikaetai

Sensou o nakusu you na dai soreta koto janai

Dakedo chotto sore mo aru yo na

Haiyuu ya eiga sutaa ni wa narenai

Sore dokoroka kimi no mae de sae mo jouzu ni waraenai

Sonna boku ni sube wa nai yo na

Aa...

Sore sae mo wakaranainda

Rooringu rooringu

Hajime kara mottenai no ni mune ga itanda

Bokura wa kitto kono saki mo

Kokoro karamatte rooringu rooringu

Itetsuku jimen o korogaru you ni hashiridashita

Akai chiisana kuruma wa kimi o nosete

Tooku mukou no kado o magatte

Koko kara wa mienaku natta

Hajime kara mottenai no ni mune ga itanda

Bokura wa kitto kono saki mo

Kokoro karamatte rooringu rooringu

Itetsuku sekai o korogaru you ni hashiridashita

If I could, I'd repaint the world

Nothing as drastic like getting rid of wars

But maybe, there's a bit of that too

Can't be an actor or a movie star

I can't even laugh naturally in front of you for that matter

What's there for a guy like me to do?

Ahhh...

What did I do wrong

Can't even figure that out

Rolling Rolling

My heart lamenting over what was never mine

We'll probably continue to

Our hearts entangled Rolling Rolling

Start to run across the frozen ground as if we're rolling

The small red car takes her away

Makes a turn at the far off corner

Disappearing from my vision

What was it I lost?

Can't even figure that out

Rolling Rolling

My heart lamenting over what that was never mine

We'll probably continue to

Our hearts entangled Rolling Rolling

Start to run across the frozen ground as if we're rolling

凍てつく地面を転がるように走り出した

理由もないのに何だか悲しい

泣けやしないから 余計に救いがない

そんな夜を温めるように歌うんだ

岩は転がって 僕たちを何処かに連れて行くように

固い地面を分けて命が芽生えた

あの丘を越えたその先は

光り輝いたように

君の孤独も全て暴き出す朝だ

赤い小さな車は君を乗せて

遠く向こうの角を曲がって

此処からは見えなくなった

If I could, I'd repaint the world

Nothing as drastic like getting rid of wars

But maybe, there's a bit of that too

Can't be an actor or a movie star

I can't even laugh naturally in front of you for that matter

What's there for a guy like me to do?

Ahh

What did I do wrong

Can't even figure that out

Rolling, rolling

My heart lamenting over what was never mine

We'll probably continue to

Our hearts entangled Rolling, rolling

Start to run across the frozen ground as if we're rolling

There's no reason for my sorrow

All the more hopeless when you can't cry

So I sing, hoping to bring warmth to such a night

The rock rolls and takes us away

A new life sprouts from the cracks of the hardened ground

Beyond those hills

In shinning glory

Comes the morning that will expose your loneliness, your everything

The small red car takes her away

Makes a turn at the far off corner

Disappearing from my vision

What was it I lost?

Can't even figure that out

Rolling, rolling

My heart lamenting over what was never mine

We'll probably continue to

Our hearts entangled Rolling, rolling

Start to run across the frozen world as if we're rolling
