Yareru dake yarikitta ka nante jibun shika wakaranai

Dakara jibun ni usotsuku na jibun ni wa zuru suru na

Dareka to jibun o kuraberu yori mo

Onore o hokoreru hito ni naritai

Jibun o nagedasazu ikita kyou o

Hometsuzukerareru hibi o okurou

Kimi ni shika wakaranaku tatte raku na michi wa erabu na

Saigo ni mukuwareru no wa nigezu ni ita kimijishin da kara

Baka ni sareru koto wa atte mo baka ni dake wa shinai koto

Itsu no hi mo tsutsumashiku are kidakaku inochi moyase

Kekka bakari ni me o mukeru yori mo

Ayunda michinori o mitsumetetai

Jibun o akiramezu ikita hibi o

Kuinaku owaru inochi de aritai

Omoidoori ni naranai hi mo muda ni dake wa shinaide

Daiji na no wa kimi ga kimi o saigo ni mitometeyareru ka da

Yasunda tte ii sa mata mae o mukeru nara

Tashika na ippo o fumishimeteyukou kimi ga tsukamu no sa

Kimi ni shika wakaranaku tatte raku na michi wa erabu na

Saigo ni mukuwareru no wa nigezu ni ita kimijishin da kara

...so believe in yourself!

Translations

Only you know if you’ve given it your all,

So don’t lie to yourself; don’t cheat yourself!

Rather than comparing yourself to someone else,

Become someone you can be proud of.

You’ve managed to not give up on yourself up to today,

So spend the rest of your days praising that belief.

Even if you discover a path only you know about, don’t take the easy way out,

Cause you’ll be the one rewarded in the end for not running away.

Even if you’ve made fun of, you mustn’t look down on others.

Be humble every day of your life and let your noble life burn bright.

Rather than only paying attention to results,

I’d rather look back on the steps I took.

I haven’t given up on myself, day after day,

And I want to end this life with no regrets.

Some days may not go as you want, but don’t ever let them go to waste

The important thing is whether you can accept yourself in the end.

It’s okay to take a break, as long as you can look forward when you’re done.

Take a certain, intentional step and take hold of it!

Even if you discover a path only you know about, don’t take the easy way out,

Cause you’ll be the one rewarded in the end for not running away.

…so believe in yourself!

Lagi butuh semangat nih.. huft.. saat lagi nyiapin artikel ini, tiba-tiba ada email masuk dari penyelenggara beasiswa yang lagi gw apply. Di paragraf awal, gw seneng karena gw diterima di study programme-nya, tapi di paragraf kedua, huft.. pupus lagi harapan gw. Lagi-lagi gagal. Gw cukup berharap sama beasiswa ini, tapi di awal emang udah prepare gak diterima juga. Kenapa sih selalu gagal? :’(

Sebenernya kemaren ada tawaran beasiswa semacam diskon tuition fee gitu, sisanya harus bayar sendiri, belum ditambah biaya living cost. Lagipula masih ada keluarga yang harus di-support. Makanya gw gak ambil beasiswa itu. :’’(

Kemaren-kemaren sempat kepikiran untuk nyerah aja apply beasiswa dan nabung biar bisa kuliah sendiri, at least di ITB gitu. Tapi ternyata biaya pascasarjana ITB mahal banget plus admission-nya yang lebih rumit dari pada apply admission di kampus luar negeri. :’’’(

Makanya lagi sering denger lagu ini, karena at least bisa bikin gw lebih semangat. I need to believe myself more! And don’t give up! It’s okay to take a break, cause in the end I believe that i’ll be rewarded for not running away.

... so believe in yourself!
