Original Lyrics: The Narrow Way Lyrics (Romanized)
1.This world is impermanent, everyone knows it
2.Everyone changes, in this unceasing flow
3.Just wandering aimlessly4.
5.As usual, on the usual path, autumn night lurks
6.I suddenly wonder if I’m living in layers, yet dying7.
8.Are we taming or are we killing our own talents?
9.Head and body completely mismatched
10.I want to rely on the simple, straightforward sensitivity before being human
11.Yes, our true nature is beastly, let’s set free our naked lives and run wild
12.The destination is where it all ends, let’s go as part of nature13.

14.On the trembling first steps on a new path, winter begins to feel familiar
15.I am ashamed of yesterday when I matched my steps to fit in and feel safe16.
17.Pretending to care but actually causing worry, I hate that
18.Pretending self-sacrifice, but actually for self-benefit, what a sham
19.I want to take pride in the straightforward attitude before humility
20.Yes, our true nature is beastly, the results achieved with numb hands mean everything
21.Loneliness is just another word for freedom, let’s silently go far away22.
23.Whether real or fake is meaningless, I don’t need more pretense
24.Even happiness or sadness, victory or defeat, only matters to the person involved25.
26.With this one fragile life, let’s use it up
27.Even if sadness engulfs us, we carry it and move on
28.With this borrowed life, let’s boldly use it and give it back
29.So laugh and shout, let’s go down the narrow path that no one can pass through

1.この世は無常 皆んな分かつてゐるのさ
2.誰もが移ろふ さう絶え間ない流れに
3.ただ右往左往してゐる4.
5.いつも通り お決まりの道に潜むでゐるあきのよる
6.着脹れして生き乍ら死んぢやあゐまいかとふと訝る7.
8.飼馴らしてゐるやうで飼殺してゐるんぢやあないか
9.自分自身の才能を あたまとからだ、丸で食い違ふ
10.人間たる前の単に率直な感度を頼つてゐたいと思ふ
11.さう本性は獣 丸腰の命をいま野放しに突走らうぜ
12.行く先はこと切れる場所 大自然としていざ行かう13.
14.そつと立ち入るはじめての道に震へてふゆを覚える
15.紛れたくて足並揃へて安心してゐた昨日に恥ぢ入る16.
17.気遣つてゐるやうで気遣わせてゐるんぢやあ 厭だ
18.自己犠牲の振りして 御為倒しか、とんだかまとゝ
19.謙遜する前の単に率直な態度を誇つてゐたいと思ふ
20.さう正体は獣 悴むだ命でこそ成遂げた結果が全て
21.孤独とは言ひ換へりやあ自由 黙つて遠くへ行かう22.
23.本物か贋物かなんて無意味 能書きはまう結構です
24.幸か不幸かさへも勝敗さへも当人だけに意味が有る25.
26.無けなしの命がひとつ だうせなら使ひ果たさうぜ
27.かなしみが覆ひ被さらうと抱きかゝへて行くまでさ
28.借りものゝ命がひとつ 厚かましく使ひ込むで返せ
29.さあ貪れ笑ひ飛ばすのさ誰も通れぬ程狭き道をゆけ
