sekai wa yake ni hirokute   dokoka ni takara ga attemo
the world is rather unnecessarily large, and even if there is a treasure somewhere out there
tenmongakuteki kakuritsu
it's an astronomical probability to find it
guuzen ni tayotte itatte   hajimaranai
nothing will begin if we rely only on coincidence

dakara
that's why....

atama de kangaetatte   kashikoi rikutsu ga jama suru
even if you think with your head, intelligent reason gets in the way
tsukue no ue deno shousan
chances of winning work just on the tabletop
kuusou de bouken suru nante   gu no kocchou
it's the epitome of stupidity to go on an adventure with just your imagination

dakara
that's why...

dare ni tomeraretatte   kage de warawaretatte
no matter who stops us, no matter if people laugh at us behind our backs
fune wa mae-e susumu yo
our ship will sail forward

BON VOYAGE!

hottoiteyo
leave us alone!

baka wa shouchinosuke dayo
I'm fully aware-ee-bob of being an idiot
ikanya narabei
we gotta go forwardrew
muri na yume hodo katchoii   yabou
ambitions are cooler the more impossible the dream

yarudake yareba   donna suiheisen mo
if we do as much as we can, no matter what horizon
chotto chikazuku
it will be a little bit closer

(ba shuwa ba.... ba shuwa ba da dira....)
(ba shuwa ba.... ba shuwa ba da dira....)

sorenari doryoku shitemite   kantan ni te ni hairu yorimo
instead of trying one's best as best seen fit, and getting a hold of it so easily...
zetsubou no saki no kaikan
the ecstasy on the other side of despair
kiseki dake shinjite itatte   katasukashi sa
believing only in miracles will make you just miss

dakara
that's why....

dareni akiraretemo   maji de chuukoku saretemo
no matter who gives up on you, even if you get a serious warning
fune no ho wa orosenai yo
we won't lower the sails on the ship

BON VOYAGE!

ima ni miteore
just you watch now

gatten shouchinosuke dayo
I fully understand am aware-ee-bob
modorenai kichi
we can't go backen
katai ishi hodo kimochi ii   kibou
hope feels better the harder the will

sakerarenai nara   donna arashi datte
if we can't avoid it, no matter what the storm is
koete yuku dake
we just go over it

hottoiteyo
leave us alone!

baka wa shouchinosuke dayo
I'm fully aware-ee-bob of being an idiot
ikanya narabei
we gotta go forwardrew
muri na yume hodo katchoii   yabou
ambitions are cooler the more impossible the dream

baka wa shouchinosuke dayo   tatakauzou
I'm fully aware-ee-bob of being an idiot, I'm going to fightom
tooi umi hodo kitto ii   tengoku
the further away the ocean, the better heaven must be

yarudake yareba   donna suiheisen mo
if we do as much as we can, no matter what horizon
chotto chikazuku
it will be a little bit closer

(ba shuwa ba.... ba shuwa ba da dira....)
(ba shuwa ba.... ba shuwa ba da dira....)


translator's note: "-nosuke", "-bei", "-kichi", and "-zou" are common endings for boys' names, and the lyricist had a little too much fun adding them in as puns. i tried my best to match them with names that started with the last syllable except the title phrase which i took from "yessiereebob".... :^)
