Original
SIDE-BY-SIDE

1.Before I knew it, my shoes were dirty, rain traced along a rusted double-edged blade
2.Admiration stayed as it was, and beyond waking from a dream lay yet another dream3.
4.I heard that crying voice, a sobbing soirée just before fading away
5.Beyond admiration, I’ll find you crouching, waiting6.
7.Go—go, at an unmatched speed. Fly, accelerating with impulse
8.Go—for I was born to feel this very moment9.

10.Seize the future, surpass expectations, as the wind pierces across your brow
11.Just watch—surely everyone will notice your brilliance
12.With a voice that fits you, surpass their gazes, transcend the void and keep going
13.Now, as you transform before my eyes, I let go of your hand14.
15.Before I knew it, the mysteries were solved, familiar wood grains beneath my feet
16.Have I become the kind of adult I once yearned for?17.
18.Yes, your struggles are pains you chose for yourself
19.And all the brilliance you’ve grasped—it’s entirely yours20.
21.I became the bow, taking your pale hand and drawing it back with strength
22.Now you’ve become an arrow, never swayed by the wind23.
24.Go—never look back, to a place beyond reach
25.Go—go, you’ve always shone brightly!26.
27.Seize the future, surpass expectations, as the wind pierces across your brow
28.Just watch—surely everyone will notice your brilliance
29.With a voice that fits you, surpass their gazes, transcend the void and keep going
30.Now, as you transform before my eyes, I let go of your hand

Kenshi Yonezu - BOW AND ARROW English Translation
Medalist Opening Theme English Translation

1.気づけば靴は汚れ　錆びついた諸刃を伝う雨
2.憧れはそのままで　夢から目醒めた先には夢3.
4.聞こえたその泣き声　消えいる手前の咽ぶソワレ
5.憧れのその先へ　蹲る君を見つける為6.
7.行け　行け　追いつけない速度で　飛べ　インパルス加速して
8.行け　きっとこの時を感じる為に生まれてきたんだ9.
10.未来を掴んで　期待値を超えて　額に吹き刺す風
11.今に見なよ　きっと君の眩しさに誰もが気づくだろう
12.相応しい声で　視線追い越して　虚空を超えて行け
13.見違えていく君の指から今　手を放す14.
15.気づけば謎は解かれ　木目ごと見慣れた板の上
16.あの頃焦がれたような大人になれたかな17.
18.そう君の苦悩は君が自分で選んだ痛みだ
19.そして掴んだあの煌めきも全て君のものだ20.
21.僕は弓になって　君の白んだ掌をとって強く引いた
22.今君は決して風に流れない矢になって23.
24.行け　決して振り向かないで　もう届かない場所へ
25.行け　行け　君はいつだって輝いていた！26.
27.未来を掴んで　期待値を超えて　額に吹き刺す風
28.今に見なよ　きっと君の眩しさに誰もが気づくだろう
29.相応しい声で　視線追い越して　虚空を超えて行け
30.見違えていく君の指から今　手を放す
