Nakama Lyrics - Gintama

English

Amidst the constant changing, what never
changes
Is a single unwavering bond.
In the days that piled, the words that we
exchanged
Crossed from our hearts to the Promised
Land.

Now that a quarter century has passed,
Let's send this song to a friend.
Since then, what sort of days
Had come to heap upon another?
A bunch of good-for-nothings everywhere
gathering in unison,
A one-second chemical reaction.
We were bound to meet, and so we met,
yeah?
Recall that one scene.
When you were overwhelmed,
Just for you, everyone gathered and poked
fun while listening to your heartbreak
story.
After some manly tears, it seemed
embarrassing,
Building up to saying those wise words,
"This bond is eternal."
Laughter echoed until morning.
From now and always, the unfading
memories of those days
Will set this chest aflame.

My thoughts are as they are.
Now journeying to where my friends are,
To the friends whose glimmer never
changes.
To the future I dreamed of that day,
Let's go together.
A long path to follow after this.
No matter what days blow against us,
Let's pray for happiness to keep lasting.

[Full Version Continues]

Yeah, this fight's never gonna end.
That won't change no matter how many
years go by.
It's the same pep-talk
To spur you on day to day, friend.
The dream I recited in the morning sun,
Please don't ever forget it
On the stage we share of a once-in-a-life
time gamble.
We made a serious bet of who could become
the greatest first.
Hide that day within your heart.

My thoughts are as they are.
Now journeying to where my friends are,
To the friends whose glimmer never
changes.
To the future I dreamed of that day,
Let's go together.
A long path to follow after this.
No matter what days blow against us,
Let's pray for happiness to keep lasting.

Even if we get so far separated,
Because you're in this heart of mine,
Just go along the path you believed in
without a second thought.
It might be painful, but keep up the
smile you've always had no matter what.

To the friends I stop for when they're
troubled,
To the friends crying in frustration,
The bonds that tie us together become our
strength.
Each of our paths may differ,
But we'll definitely meet again.
My thoughts are as they are.

Now journeying to where my friends are,
To the friends whose glimmer never
changes.
To the future I dreamed of that day,
Let's go together.
A long path to follow after this.
No matter what days blow against us,
Let's pray for happiness to keep lasting.

Amidst the constant changing, what never
changes
In the days that piled are the words that
we exchanged.

Kanji

変わりゆく中で
変わらずあるもの
ただ１つ 揺るぎない絆
重ねた月日に交わした言葉を胸に
約束の地まで

四半世紀が過ぎた今
友へこの歌を送ろう
あれからどんな日々を
重ねて過ごしてきたんだろう
ろくでもない奴ばっか揃いも揃った
結果 妙な化学変化
俺ら出会うべくして出会ったんだろうな
思い出す１シーン
へこんでたお前の為に
皆で集まり茶化し聞いていたフラレ話
男泣きの後 照れくさそうに
立ち上がり言った名言
「この絆は永遠」
朝まで響いていた笑い声
今もずっと色褪せない日々の記憶が
この胸に火を灯す

思いのまま今を旅してる仲間へ
変わらず輝いてる仲間へ
あの日夢見た未来まで
共に歩こう
この先辿る長い道
どんな向かい風の日でも
絶えず続いていく幸せ祈ろう

[この先はFULLバージョンのみ]

そう ずっと終わんねぇこの関係
何年経とうが変わんねぇ
同じ目線で叱咤激励
支え合ってくDay to Day
Friend朝日の中で語った夢は
決して忘れないでくれ
一度の人生に賭ける互いのステージで
誰が先にデカくなるか本気で賭けた
あの日を胸に秘めて

思いのまま今を旅してる仲間へ
変わらず輝いてる仲間へ
あの日夢見た未来まで
共に歩こう
この先辿る長い道
どんな向かい風の日でも
絶えず続いていく幸せ祈ろう

例えどんなに遠く離れていても
俺のこの胸にお前がいるから
信じた道だけを迷わずに行こう
苦しくてもいつまでも枯れない笑顔のままで

立ち止まり悩む仲間へ
悔しくて泣いている仲間へ
繋げてきたこの絆が力にかわる
それぞれ道は違っても
いつかきっとまた会えるから　思いのまま

今を旅してる仲間へ
変わらず輝いてる仲間へ
あの日夢見た未来まで
共に歩こう
この先辿る長い道
どんな向かい風の日でも
絶えず続いていく幸せ祈ろう

変わりゆく中で変わらずあるもの
重ねた月日に交わした言葉よ
