'Dekoboko March (Tairetsu wa kimi ni tsuzuku)' - Uneven March (The Ranks Lead to You) lyrics translation

Dekoboko March (tairetsu wa kimi ni tsuzuku)
Uneven March (The Ranks Lead to You)
Music by Yoko Kanno
Original Japanese lyrics by Maaya Sakamoto

You walk on, I walk on with all of you
Waving your arms about, crowding and jostling
The ranks march forward and onwards

First love laughs like a bird, loneliness has its eyes cast down
And the past I want to forget and the guilty lies I have told chatter behind
Justice pulled up to attention scrambles with arrogance to take the lead
Curiousity with its innocent face pays more attention to the sky

When I turned round the ranks were waiting for a signal to advance

You walk on, I walk on with all of you
Waving your arms about, crowding and jostling
The ranks march forward and onwards
You walk on, taking all of the others with you
No matter if you get lost on the road or if your back is unreliable
Everyone believes in you

The things I wanted to know were always right next to the things I didn't want to know
They told me that like twins I have to love them both

When I turned around the ranks nodded reassuringly

You walk on, I walk on with all of you
Even if cowardice stops in its tracks or jealousy turns the other way
Do you think we're going to leave anyone behind!?
You walk on, I walk on with all of you
Wipe sadness' tears and hold hands with joy, we'll continue walking together

You walk on, I walk on with all of you
Waving your arms about, crowding and jostling
The ranks march forward and onwards
You walk on, taking all of the others with you
No matter if you get lost on the road or if your back is unreliable
Everyone believes in you

I walk on, whatever happens I will walk on
Even if cowardice stops in its tracks or jealousy turns the other way
Do you think I'm going to leave any of you behind?
I walk on, I walk on with all of my different selfs
Wiping sadness' tears and holding hands with joy, we'll continue walking together
