[Chorus] This is the path I have chosen. (これが私の選んだ道) I cast myself into the battlefield And let the smell of gunpowder envelop me. (戦場に身を委ね、硝煙の匂いを身に纏わせる) [Chorus] The bird I longed to be was far too restricted, Constantly bound by so many things. (憧れた鳥はあまりにも不自由で、多くの事に縛られ続ける) I couldn’t bear it—born as I was from the start. (元からそう生まれた私には耐えられなかった) [Intro] [Verse] The story of the white bird my grandmother used to tell. (昔お婆ちゃんが言っていた白い鳥のお話し) A symbol of happiness that brings smiles and joy to everyone. (皆を笑顔にして喜ばせる幸せを象徴する存在) I longed for it. (私は憧れた) Because I was so naive. (無知であったから) [Pre-chorus] I tried to become that. (私はそうなろうとした) [Pre-chorus] I wanted to become that. (そうなりたかった) [Pre-chorus] I tried to become that. (そうなろうとした) [Pre-chorus] But I couldn't. (でもなれなかった) [Chorus] This is the path I have chosen. (これが私の選んだ道) I cast myself into the battlefield And let the smell of gunpowder envelop me. (戦場に身を委ね、硝煙の匂いを身に纏わせる) [Chorus] The bird I longed to be was far too restricted, Constantly bound by so many things. (憧れた鳥はあまりにも不自由で、多くの事に縛られ続ける) I couldn’t bear it—born as I was from the start. (元からそう生まれた私には耐えられなかった) [bridge] [Verse 2] This life was born to fight. (戦うために生まれたこの命だ) I no longer seek dreams. (夢なんてもう求めていない) Encase yourself in an inorganic shell. (無機質の殻を身に包め) To reach the utopia. (理想郷へと至るために) [Pre-chorus] I don't want to be tied down. (縛られたくない) [Pre-chorus] I want to be free. (自由でありたい) [Pre-chorus] I want to keep fighting. (戦い続けたい) [Pre-chorus] I want to prove my existence. (私を証明したい) [Chorus] My body seeks battle. (私の身体は闘争を求める) I won’t go back to that constrained past. (あの頃の不自由には戻らない) Because my soul was never there. (私の魂はそこには無かったから) [Chorus] I continue to march onto the battlefield. (私は戦場に赴き続ける) Nothing binds me in the midst of war. (戦いでは何も縛られない) Even if they liken me to a black bird. (黒い鳥と揶揄されようとも) [Outro] Live as I wish, die as I wish. (好きなように生きて、好きなように死ぬ) That is simply the way I live. (それが、私の生き方だから)
