ASKA - Merry-Go-Round


"Merry-Go-Round"
2018.10.17
Made in ASKA [Album]

Merry-Go-Round

Lyrics & Composition: ASKA
Arrangement: ASKA & Shouta Fujiyama

There was a river that flowed through the town I lived in
We called that river "Great River"

That kid who used to sprint so fast - where are they now?
That kid who was always getting into fights - where are they now?

Our promise for tomorrow rather than the future
"The greenery sprouts," and we dispersed

And as if to confirm our memories, we meet once again
Passing through each other, back to those days on a merry-go-round

Beautiful things don't have much color
But my memories of those young days are stained in colors

That's right, we went on an adventure
There's no "success" or "failure" - we just went on an adventure

We didn't show each other our maps and we had no strategy meetings either
Turning the fight into laughter, back to those days on a merry-go-round

Life's a merry-go-round
Merry-Go-Round

Sakushi & Sakkyoku: ASKA
Henkyoku: ASKA & Fujiyama Shouta

Boku no sumu machi wo nagareru kawa ga atta
Bokura wa sono kawa wo "ookawa" to yonda

Kakekko ga hayakatta ano ko wa ima doko ni
Itsumo kenka bakari shiteta ano ko wa ima doko ni

Mirai yori mo asu no yakusoku
"Midori moetatsu" to bokura wa chirabatta

Soshite kioku wo tashikameau you ni mata bokura wa deau
Sorezore wo kugurinukete ano koro ni merii goo rando

Utsukushii mono niwa taishite iro wa nai
Ano hi no osanai kioku niwa shimitsuita iro ga aru

Sou sa bokura wa bouken wo shita
"Seikou" mo "shippai" mo nai tada bouken wo shita

Tagai ni chizu wa miseawanakatta sakusen kaigi mo sezu
Tatakai wo warai ni shite ano koro ni merii goo rando

Jinsei wa merii goo rando
