Tonight, we've got my second favorite SDN48 song, "Kodoku na Runner". This was the first song of theirs that I heard, actually, so it holds a special place for me. This is the other song that I think is very representative of SDN48. It was also confusing to translate because in parts it is (I believe) referring to a "you", where as in others, they very clearly say "I". Since that's the case, I will give you my apologies in advance if I've gotten mixed up in a few spots. XD
In front of my eyes,
there's congestion
stretching towards my hopes
My rivals are
fighting at
full-power and
advancing down the road
YES!
I'll start running
This is my last chance
If I can't outrun them here,
I'll be a loser
Don't stop!
I can't stop
Don't stop!
When I get enthusiastic,
Don't stop!
I clench my teeth
My heart
races intensely
Don't stop!
I can't stop
Don't stop!
even if my legs cramp
Don't stop!
Show them that willpower
I'm a solitary runner
There are
countless
hills in life
Until you reach
the promised place,
you don't have any time
to turn and look back
YES!
Even if I collapse somewhere,
get up right away!
If I give up there,
everything will end!
Don't stop!
Believe in yourself!
Don't stop!
Your effort until now
Don't stop!
will pay off now
I can
surely do it
Don't stop!
Believe in yourself!
Don't stop!
In all the sweat
Don't stop!
Your natural face is beautiful
Miraculous runner
YES!
I don't have any regrets
even if I die like this...
Anyone who does all that they can
will be a winner
Don't stop!
I can't stop
Don't stop!
When I get enthusiastic,
Don't stop!
I clench my teeth
My heart
races intensely
Don't stop!
I can't stop
Don't stop!
even if my legs cramp
Don't stop!
Show them your willpower
Solitary runner
Don't stop!
Don't stop!
