ちっちゃい悩みでも心のポケットに
誰だってパパだってママだってこっそり持ってる
泣きたい気持ちでも笑ってられるのは
みんなを家族を何かを守りたいと
 chicchai nayami demo kokoro no POKETTO ni
 daredatte PAPA datte MAMA datte kossori motte'ru
 nakitai kimochi demo waratte'rareru no wa
 minna wo kazoku wo nanika wo mamoritai to
    Everyone, even dad and mom, hides
    Their worries, however small, in their pockets
    But when they want to cry, they can still laugh
    Because they want to protect other people, their family, something.

そんなふうにねがんばってる素敵な仲間達・・・笑顔が私に教えた
 sonna fuu ni ne ganbatte'ru suteki na nakama-tachi...
 egao ga atashi ni oshieta
    You know, these friends of mine who strive so hard...
    They taught me how to smile.

｢カッコ悪くてもいいんじゃない？汗をかいたり走ったり
ひとりで生きてく寂しさなんて　ねっ　早く忘れなくちゃ｣ って
 'KAKKO warukutemo ii n'ja nai? ase wo kaitari hashittari
 hitori de ikite'ku sabishisa nante  ne  hayaku wasurenakucha' tte
    'Who cares if it's not elegant
    To run and sweat?
    Hey, you know how lonely it is all by yourself?
    Let's hurry and forget all about it,' they said.

遠い街へ来たあの頃の気持ちは
忘れちゃいけない時間が流れたって
 tooi machi he kita ano koro no kimochi wa
 wasurecha ikenai jikan ga nagaretatte
    Those feelings I had in me
    When I came to this city from far away
    I mustn't forget them
    No matter how much time passes

回り道もそれなりだよ出会えた仲間達・・・お金じゃ買えない It' my family
 mawarimichi mo sorenari da yo deaeta nakama-tachi...
 o-kane ja kaenai It's my family
    There's a rhyme and reason to a roundabout path
    It was there I met my friends...
    Something that can't be bought with money--
    It's my family.

たまにはケンカだってするけど　限りなく前向きで
アキラメと潔さは違うってこの頃やっと覚えたよ
 tama ni wa KENKA datte suru kedo  kagirinaku maemuki de
 AKIRAME to isagiyosa wa chigau tte kono koro yatto oboeta yo
    It's true that we argue sometimes
    But I've always stayed positive;
    There's a difference between 'losing' and 'gracefully yielding'
    I've finally learned that.

もしかしたらサヨナラを言わなきゃならない日が
来るかもしれないけれど　これからもずっとずっと
カッコ悪いけどカッコいい　汗をかいたり走ったり・・・
大切な宝物に変わるよ　そう　愛すべき It' my family
 moshikashitara SAYONARA wo iwanakya naranai hi ga
 kuru kamo shirenai keredo  kore kara mo zutto zutto
 KAKKO warui kedo KAKKO ii  ase wo kaitari hashittari...
 taisetsu na takaramono ni kawaru yo  sou  ai subeki It's my family
    There may come a day
    When we have to say good-bye,
    But from now on,
    Forever and ever
    'It's not elegant, but it is wonderful
    To run and sweat...
    They will turn into precious treasures
    Yes, those whom I love, it's my family.
