Jiyuu to Yokusei

Don Jose:
Hokori takaku mayowazu isagiyoku
Inochi sae mo oshimazu Yuuki o mochi
Otokorashiku tatakau Jibun no michi mezashite
Ikite yuku Sore ga otoko to shinjiteta

Prosper Merime:
Nozomi takaku yutaka ni hitamuki ni
Ayunda michi kuyamazu Tadashiku iki
Yasashisa ushinawazu ni kokorozashi zuyoku mochi
Ikite yuku Sore ga otoko to shinjiteta

Don Jose:
Watashi jishin ni totte seikou ya meiyo eru koto ga, shinjitsu no shiawase to musubi tsuku no darou ka. Kono you umare dete, hatashite jibun no susumu beki ikikata wa?

Prosper Merime:
Jinsei heibonna yasuragi o eru koto dake ga, hontou no otoko no shiawase to iu no ka. Sou ikiru koto ga, hatashite jibunrashii ikikata data no ka… Watashi jishin ni gimon wa nokoru.

Together:
Aa ookina chikara ni shitakawasarete mo
Kokoro dake wa sora ni mukai tokihanatou

Don Jose:
Jounetsu mochi susumi

Prosper Merime:
Ai suru koto tsuranuki

Don Jose:
Kagiri aru jinsei o

Prosper Merime:
Owari aru jinsei o

Don Jose:
Hageshiku ikiru

Prosper Merime:
Ikiru

Both:
Umarete kita shinjitsu motomete

Prosper Merime:
Saa, Hose, kimi no jinsei o aruite ikunda. Kimi no omoi dori ni. Sore ga boku no negai da.

Freedom and Restraint

Don Jose:
Masculine. Has honest pride without deception
Possessed of courage. He fights like a man
Without thought for his own life. He makes his own path.
That's the way I thought a man lived.

Prosper Merime:
Full of high ideals. Eagerly and without regret
He walks the path of righteous living.
Possessed of gentleness and strong will that never falters
That's the way that I thought a man lived.

Don Jose:
For me, achieving success and honor – isn't that joined to true happiness? I was born into this world for a reason, so what way of living will make me fulfilled?

Prosper Merime:
Isn't it achieving a life full of ordinary comforts that gives a man honest happiness? That's the way of life that will give you fulfillment. As for me, I still have some doubts.

Both:
Ah, a powerful force controls us
Only our souls are free to cross the sky

Don Jose:
Advance with passion

Prosper Merime:
Be pierced by love

Don Jose:
A life with limits

Prosper Merime:
A life that's ending

Don Jose:
Passionate life

Prosper Merime:
Life

Both:
Seeking the truth of existence

Prosper Merime:
Well, Jose, let's walk down the path of your life. Of your mind. That's my task.
