Run! Run! Run!

I'm still watching and enjoying One Piece but I have to say that my favorite theme song from the show (they change both the opening and closing themes repeatedly) is "Run! Run! Run!" by Otsuki Maki. The high energy of the song itself is part of it, but I find the lyrics inspiring as well, despite not translating very directly into English. Running so fast and so far that you out-race your own dreams. I love that idea! The song just makes me happy every time I hear it.

Anyway, I thought I'd share a video of the whole song, instead of the 60 seconds they use on the show. Translated lyrics are below the clip.

My overflowed feelings won't connect and
I tighten my grip of your hand.
Even if I'm alone, I'll begin to walk so
look after me to the far distance

I was thinking about it since morning
why is it so hot?
I begin to run faster than usual
wanting to feel the unseen wind.

From some time ago, those ideas won't depart from me.

My overflowed feelings won't connect and
I tighten my grip of your hand.
Even if I'm alone, I'll begin to walk so
look after me to the far distance.

For some reason, I couldn't sleep last night.
Why is it so far?

Because my feelings rush, I chase after it.

Holding onto my overflowed feelings
I continue to run within the wind.
The overflowed dream won't stop.
I want to wake this special feeling.

My overflowed feelings won't connect and
I tighten my grip of your hand.
Even if I'm alone, I'll begin to walk so
look after me to the far distance.
