クリスタルキング - 大都会 Crystal King - Daitokai [English subtitle]

I do not own this song, this is but a translation of the original.

Here is the song that put Crystal King to the top of the charts and initiated their success, Daitokai (Big City/Metropolis). This song came out in 1979 and still remains fresh in the minds of many middle aged Japanese folks. The lyrics are very encouraging to young people setting out own their owns. I hope that people trying to strike out of themselves can appreciate this classic.

Lyrics:
My pursuits for this boundless dream
Will take me beyond the heavens

I left home on empty words
Only to find myself scrounging for scraps of hope
My aspirations mix with uncertainty in this distant city
I can't count the days like this
Even small talk seems empty here
Must I go on like this forever?
In pursuit of a brighter tomorrow, I
RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY, I can still go on

A flame flickers in my heart within the city of deceit
Small bits of passion push me on

Even I
Will be able bask the light
One day, I'll smile freely
A new dawn dyes the sky
Its radiance keeps me going
As it sets my soul aflame, I
RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY, I can still go on

歌詞：
ああ 果てしない 夢を追いつづけ
ああ いつの日か 大空かけめぐる

裏切りの言葉に 故郷を離れわずかな望みを
求めさすらう俺なのさ
見知らぬ街では 期待と不安がひとつになって
過ぎゆく日々などわからない
交わす言葉も寒いこの都会
これも運命と生きてゆくのか
今日とちがうはずの明日へ
Run Away Run Away いまかけゆく

裏切りの街でも 俺の心に灯をともす
わずかな愛があればいい

こんな俺でもいつかは光をあびながら
きっと笑える日が来るさ
朝やけ静かに空を染めて
輝く陽をうけ生きてゆくのさ
あふれる熱い心とき放し
Run Away Run Away いまかけてゆく
