歩くほどに靴底が汚れてく そんな風に
僕らの魂も磨り減れば影ってしまうよ
そんな時に思い出して 君が諦められない理由を
救ったはずが救われたっけ 握ったつもりが握られた手
遍く旅路に光あれ 強さや弱さでは語れないぜ
立ち向かうその一歩ずつが 君の勇敢さの勝利だった
叫ぶ為に息を吸うように 高く飛ぶ為に助走があって
笑う為に僕らは泣いた それを敗北とは言わない ロングホープ・フィリア
Arukuhodo ni kutsuzoko ga yogoreteku sonna fuu ni
Bokura no tamashii mo surihereba kagette shimau yo
Sonna toki ni omoidashite kimi ga akiramerarenai riyuu wo
Sukutta hazu ga sukuwaretakke
Nigitta tsumori ga nigirareta te
Amaneku tabiji ni hikari are
Tsuyosa ya yowasa de wa katarenai ze
Tachimukau sono ippo zutsu ga kimi no yuukansa no shouri datta
Sakebu tame ni iki wo suu you ni takaku tobu tame ni josou ga atte
Warau tame ni bokura wa naita sore wo haiboku to wa iwanai
Ronguhoopu firia
The more we walk, the dirtier the soles of our shoes get
In the same way, our souls develop shadows as they're worn down
In times like that, remember why you can't give up
I thought I saved you, but think I was saved instead
I thought I grabbed your hand, but you actually grabbed mine
Let there be light on all of our journeys
I can't speak of strength or weakness
Each step you took forward was a victory for your bravery
Like inhaling in order to shout, an approach is needed to jump high
In order to laugh, we cried, and that's not called defeat
Longhope Philia

立ち向かうその一歩ずつが 君の勇敢さの勝利だった
叫ぶ為に息を吸うように 高く飛ぶ為に助走があって
笑う為に僕らは泣いた それを敗北とは言わない ロングホープ・フィリア
時を経ては変わってく 街並みも友達も
大抵は離れて分かる 寄る辺なさは瞭然たる感傷
ましてや自分 僕は僕を離れられぬやましさを背負って
だから友よ見届けてくれ 変わったのじゃなく変えたのだ
遍く挫折に光あれ 成功、失敗に意味はないぜ
最終話で笑った奴へ トロフィーとしてのハッピーエンド
願わなきゃ傷つかなかった 望まなきゃ失望もしなかった
それでも手を伸ばすからこその その傷跡を称え給え ロングホープ・フィリア
諦めて疑って塞いで 期待外れって言われたっけ
でも失くしたことが武器になった それがどん底に咲いた花
遠き友よ 今ではもう蒼い星座 少なからず僕ら生きてる
荷物ならばそれで充分だ
遍く命に光あれ 生きる為に理由はいらないぜ
うなだれても踏み留まった そこをスタートラインと呼ぶんだ
今日の君が笑ったことで 敗北も無駄にはならなかった
故に咲くどん底の花 友よ、末永い希望を ロングホープ・フィリア

The more we walk, the more the bottom of our shoes become soiled in the same way
If we wear out our souls we’ll be overshadowed
At times like that remember the reason why you can’t give up
I was saved when I thought I was doing the saving, my hand was held when I thought I was holding the hand
Let light shine throughout the journey, can’t be summed up in terms of strengths or weaknesses
Each step that leads you to what it is you’re confronting is a victory brought on by your courage
Just like you need to breathe in to shout, an approach run’s necessary to jump high
We cried so we could laugh, that’s not defeat
Long hope philia
Time changes city streets and friends
You usually learn once you’re apart, sentimentality becomes evident when you have no one to lean on
Furthermore, I’m burdened by the guilt of not being able to get away from myself
So friend, watch over me until the end, I didn’t change unwittingly, I changed with intent
Let light shine over our setbacks, success, failures have no meaning
To those that laughed in the final episode, a happy ending that serves as a trophy
Wouldn’t have been hurt if I hadn’t hoped, wouldn’t have lost hope if I didn’t have any expectations
And yet I keep reaching out so give praise to those wounds
Long hope philia
Gave up, distrusted, and closed myself off, told I was a letdown
But my losses became my ammunition, a flower that blooms down in the dumps
My friend, so far away now a blueish constellation, at least we’re still alive
That’s all the luggage we need
Let light shine on life, life doesn’t require a reason
Head hung low, yet still resisted, that’s what you call the starting line
Because you laughed today this failure wasn’t in vain
Therefore, oh flower blooming down in the dumps, friend, an everlasting hope
Long hope philia
