(ganbatte kudasai ne)

anata ga ima kanashi sou ni warau
sonna kao wo miru to
mune ga itaku naru wa
yuuhi no naka yaseppochi no kage
naze ka tayorinakute
sotto kata wo yoseta
wasurenaide donna toki mo anata ha
sou yo hitori kiri ja nai no

yume no iriguchi ha tooku mieru kedo
akiramenaide ashita wo
yume ni tadoritsuku chizu ha nai keredo
nani mo osorezu ni aruki tsuzukete ne
anata no mama de

tasogareteku machinami ha itsumo
setsuna sugiru keshiki
hito wo yowaku suru wa
ieji isogu kodomo tachi no mure
anata furimuitara
watashi koko ni iru wa
kokoro tojite ikiru nante samishii
sou yo hitori kiri ja nai no

yume no iriguchi ha kitto sagaseru wa
shinjiru kimochi aru nara
yume wo utsushiteru hitomi ga suki na no
dakara kujikezu ni aruki tsuzukete ne
anata no mama de

yume no iriguchi ha tooku mieru kedo
akiramenaide ashita wo
yume ni tadoritsuku chizu ha nai keredo
nani mo osorezu ni aruki tsuzukete ne
anata no mama de

(english translation)

Young man
Do your best!

You're laughing sadly now
When I look at that kind of face,
My heart starts to ache
Within the setting sun, your long skinny shadow
For some reason wavered [lit: was unreliable]
And you softly gathered your shoulders
Don't forget, no matter what
You're really not alone

You can see, far away,
The entrance to a dream
But don't give up on tomorrow
You don't have a map to struggle on towards the dream
But continue walking with nothing to fear
Just like you are

The streets [with houses and stores] at dusk
Are always like a too-cold landscape
Making people weak
Groups of children hurry along the road home
If you turned around
I would be here
Living with your heart closed is lonely
Really, because you're not alone

You can surely find [lit: search for] the entrance to a dream
If you feel you can believe in it
That's why you should keep walking
Not be discouraged
Just like you are

You can see, far away,
The entrance to a dream
But don't give up on tomorrow
You don't have a map to struggle on towards the dream
But continue walking with nothing to fear
Just like you are
