Yeah...

We are like the moon and the sun

As always, we move in opposite directions

Many moons ago while watching TV

Sometimes remembering back then

To memories burning with emotion, say goodbye

Now I won’t think back anymore; never looking back

Those happy times have passed, but I feel I’ll be alright

Occasionally his dazzling talent seemed to completely eclipse me

Like being overshadowed by his shine before my very eyes

I didn’t get it

I, the moon, wanted to be like that sun

Instead I should have been chasing my own dreams all day

Now that I’m moving on, it’ll be okay

Even the moon can be beautiful sometimes, right?

Even if I have to fall a hundred thousand times

No matter the frustration or the untied shoelaces

The destination will be reached

I’ll understand the meaning of these bruised knees

We need wisdom

We need wisdom

When I think back to those days

Even now my head fills with static

Like watching through a TV screen

The end of the dream I’d given up that day

This time I won’t run away from the pain

Good medicine always tastes bittersweet

The stage I stand on now is a little more cramped

Different from back then

Now all I have is a blackboard to vent on

So take a memo

Experience the sound of that nostalgic chime

This is where I belong

Hey, you, don’t give up yet

It’s alright to chase your dreams, silly

Sine, cosine, tangent

How many twists can one life really have?

Einstein, tell me

Is the path I chose to go down correct?

Einstein, tell me

What have I gained in exchange for all of my mistakes?

Wake me up, bright sunshine

Today again I’ll bathe in your light

Doing my best

As equals I move to stand by your side

Even if I have to fall a hundred thousand times

No matter the frustration or the untied shoelaces

The destination will be reached

I’ll understand the meaning of these bruised knees

We need wisdom

We need wisdom

Even if I have to fall a hundred thousand times

No matter the frustration or the untied shoelaces

The destination will be reached

I’ll understand the meaning of these bruised knees

We need wisdom

We need wisdom

Yeah

俺たちはまるで月と太陽

正反対の方向を歩いていく今日も

many moons agoテレビを見ると

時々思い出すあの時のことも

もやしみてーな思い出には

SAY　GOOD　BYE

もう振り返りはしないnever looking back

時間がたつとそれはそれで楽しかった気もするからbe alright

時にはあいつの才能がまぶしくて仕方なかった

自分から輝きだそうと思えば思うほど暗くなる目の前　わかんねえ

俺は太陽になりたかった月のようで

夢を追ったはずが追われていたallday

上手く行ってる　今はもう大丈夫

なんだか今日は月がきれいですね

幾度も　何度も　転んでも

挫折し靴紐が解けても

destinationに辿りついた頃

その膝の傷の意味がわかるだろう

we need wisdom

we need wisdom

あの頃のこと思い出すと

今も頭真っ白

テレビ越しに見る

あの日諦めた夢の続き

苦い苦しみからは逃げたくはない人生

良薬はいつも口に苦え

少し狭くなった今の俺の立つステージ

奴とはちゃうけど

黒板にぶつける今のありったけの俺を

だから取れよメモ

今日もなるチャイムを聞いて感じるのさ

ここが俺の居場所

おい　おまえ　何諦めとんねん

いいからその夢追えボケ

サインコサインにタンジェント

人生は紆余曲折でなんぼやろ

アインシュタイン

教えて

俺の選んだ道は正しい？

アインシュタイン

教えて

俺はあの失敗で何を手に入れた

wake me up

太陽の日差し

浴びて今日も何かに

挑戦して

イコールの右側へと行こう

幾度も　何度も　転んでも

挫折し靴紐が解けても

destinationに辿りついた頃

その膝の傷の意味がわかるだろう

we need wisdom

we need wisdom

幾度も　何度も　転んでも

挫折し靴紐が解けても

destinationに辿りついた頃

その膝の傷の意味がわかるだろう

we need wisdom

we need wisdom

## Trivia

* In the song, Rosho is heard singing "*tsuki ga kirei desu ne",* which is translated to "*Even the moon can be beautiful sometimes, right?*" in the English translation. This translation is a slightly altered version of the original meaning which is "*The moon is beautiful, isn't it?*". The Japanese lyrics are a direct use of Souseki Natsume's, a Japanese novelist's, way of describing how Japanese people in earlier centuries used to confess their love for each other. Though this literary profession of love is used in the song, there's been no confirmation whether this song is written to be a profession of love from Rosho to the person the song is about or not.
