Lyrics
Kanji=
 * 雲が風に吹かれるまゝに　進む如く
 * 俺も時勢（とき）の動き見据えて此処まで来た


 * 時代と言う名の河　せき止められない
 * 人は笹舟が如（ごと）　其れは是非もない


 * されども
 * 一生にただ一度（ひとたび）くらいは
 * 風に逆らい行（ゆ）くも悪くない
 * 遠き日見つめた　あの方のように
 * ひたすら
 * 友よ　お前と夢の続きを
 * 見たく願うが一つの答え
 * 己（おのれ）の心が　誘（いざな）うのならば
 * 違いて行こう　潔く


 * 全て何もかも移ろうが　世の理（ことわり）
 * 永久（とわ）に　留（とど）まり続くものは此の世に無い


 * 人も　天下もやがて　変わりゆく定め
 * 月が欠けてゆく如（ごと）　また満ちるよおうに


 * 流れて
 * 一生にただ一度（ひとたび）だけは
 * 河に逆らう舟に乗るもよい
 * 時代が味方につかないとしても
 * 迷わず
 * 友よ　お前の覚悟が戦
 * 援けたいとぞ今こそ思う
 * 己の役目と信じるがゆえ
 * 止まりはしない　揺るぎなく


 * 友を支え
 * 共に向かえ
 * 無理な戦（いくさ）
 * それもいいさ
 * 命預け
 * 進みて行け
 * 決めた以上
 * 気遣い無用


 * ひとすじ
 * 一生にただ一度（ひとたび）くらいは
 * 風に逆らい行（ゆ）くも悪くない
 * 遠き日見つめた　あの方のように
 * ひたすら
 * 友よ　お前と夢の続きを
 * 見たく願うが一つの答え
 * 己（おのれ）の心が　誘（いざな）うのならば
 * 違いて行こう　潔く

 * -|English Translation=
 * Everything proceeds forward like the clouds blowing in the sky
 * I, too, have made it here by predicting the trends


 * The current of time cannot be stopped
 * People drift within it like bamboo boats, and I have no place to object


 * Even so
 * it's not bad to go against the wind
 * at least once in life
 * towards distant days, like that man once did
 * So it is with earnest,
 * my friend, that I have found my sole answer
 * from the future you and I wished to see
 * If your heart is drawn to it,
 * then let us part ways like gentleman


 * Everything is reflected within this world's universal truth
 * Nothing can be constant nor continue forever


 * People and even the land are fated to change
 * like the moon changing its shape every night


 * Ebb away
 * It's fine to ride a boat challenging the tide
 * at least once in life
 * Even if the era is against us,
 * have no fear
 * My friend, your determination leads to war
 * and I now seek to aid you
 * As long as you always believe in your faith and duty,
 * I will never waver and cannot be stopped


 * I support my friend
 * and strive to go with him
 * It's a hopeless war,
 * but that's fine with me
 * I offer my life to you
 * and advance onwards
 * Pay no heed
 * to anything besides your verdict


 * Sincerely,
 * no one can fault the chance to defy the wind
 * at least once in their lifetime
 * I see better days waiting ahead like he once did
 * And so, with earnest,
 * my friend, I will follow my answer
 * from the future you and I wished to see
 * If your heart calls for it,
 * let us gracefully part on our separate ways
