It's all been so that we can shine, I just know it! |

| 1 - The word that is actually repeated is "you" (kimi). But to get the same "stutter" effect in the English translation, the first word is repeated (like it was in Japanese). 2 - Or, "The season-changing winds (will) run along the streets forever." Or, this may also be translated/interpreted "I will run along the path of the season-changing winds forever (or "all the way"). Literally, it means: "Season-changing winds/ (will?) run (or "running") along the streets (or "paths")/ forever (or "all the way")." Basically, there is no definite connection given between "season-changing winds" and "running along path/street," so one interpretation is that the "season-changing winds" are what is "running along the path/street." Another possible interpretation is that "season-changing winds" modifies "path," making it "path of the season-changing winds." In that case, it is implied that the singer is the one running along the path (of the season-changing winds). 3 - "Dekiru kagiri no egao de" more literally means "with my best possible (utmost) smile" | |
