The Japanese Lyrics of "The Traveler's Song" from "Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation"
恐れるなら 山を越えていけ 満ち足りぬ 心に
Osoreru nara yama o koete ike michitarinu kokoro ni
溢れ出す水が癒し与え
Afuredasu mizu ga iyashi atae
想像の上 誰も立てぬ場所 慈しみ一つ恋しさを持てば 手にする愛
Sōzō no ue dare mo tatenu basho itoshimi hitotsu koishisa o moteba te ni suru ai
静寂を知る 風の声は 止まり木をしならせ 二度として同じ空 見せぬと歌う
Seijaku o shiru kaze no koe wa tomariki o shinara se nidoto to shite onaji sora misenu to utau
微睡の中 続くことを願い 夢なら 振り向かずに
Madoromi no naka tsuzuku koto o negai yume nara furimukazu ni
想像の上 誰も立てぬ場所 指先に一つ交わす約束は 永遠
Sōzō no ue dare mo tatenu basho yubisaki ni hitotsu kawasu yakusoku wa eien
溢れ出す 祈り 癒し与え
Afuredasu inori iyashi atae
さようなら さようなら 過ぐる日の私よ さようなら さようなら 記憶は残せど
Sayōnara sayōnara suguru hi no watashi yo sayōnara sayōnara kioku wa nokosedo
想像の上 誰も立てぬ場所 慈しみひとつ恋しさを持てば 手にする愛
Sōzō no ue dare mo tatenu basho itoshimi hitotsu koishisa o moteba te ni suru ai
The English Translation of "The Traveler's Song" from "Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation"
If you fear, cross over the mountains, in an unsatisfied heart, The overflowing water offers healing.
Above the realm of imagination, where no one can stand, If you hold just one affectionate thought, one longing, you'll grasp love.
The voice of the wind, knowing silence, rustles the leaves, Singing that the same sky will never be shown twice.
In the midst of slumber, I wish for continuity, if it's a dream, without turning back.
Above the realm of imagination, where no one can stand, A promise exchanged with a fingertip is eternal.
The overflowing prayers offer healing.
Goodbye, goodbye, to the passing days of myself, Goodbye, goodbye, though memories remain.
Above the realm of imagination, where no one can stand, If you hold just one affectionate thought, one longing, you'll grasp love.
