Translation Notes/Colour Code:

Colour coding is as above and like as always, when everyone sings, it will be in black.

I split the parts by ear again and either there’s no difference or maybe it’s because I’m tired, but I can’t hear much different in the overlapping sections.

The lyrics are by ear so I’ll fix the lyrics when I get the booklet xD Will also add in the composer and lyricist when I get them too =3

English Translation

In our connected future, the thing we found,
I was able to see with these friends, a scene that I had never seen before (I won’t forget it)
More than wins or loses, something more important,
You taught that to me didn’t you? The best Ever Blue.

I swim for the team
We swim together
I believe in my team
We start from here
I swim for the team
We swim together
I believe in my team
We start from here

Knocking against each other, prepared
And while wandering, I searched.
My real place to belong, my real feelings
I finally noticed them

(No matter when) The clumsy us,
(No matter what) Take a detour and hurt each other
But, that forever inside our hearts, we’re together (I wanted to believe)

In our connected future, the world we touched
Is not the end but the scene of a new start (that began to move)
The water I jump into, I can feel it
We swim this moment together, the best friends

I swim for the team
We swim together
I believe in my team
We start from here
I swim for the team
We swim together
I believe in my team
We start from here

Dreams will one day, staying as smiles,
Take form, that is what I feel.
So that we can think in that way,
Let us forever, remember.

(No matter where) We can get there
(Even now) We think something of free sky and
Towards the brightness, true to yourself, narrow your eyes ( I can believe it)

In our connected future, the thing we found,
I was able to see with these friends, a scene that I had never seen before (I won’t forget it)
Within the happiness, we become one.
You taught that to me didn’t you? The best Ever Blue.

The now, let us, with all our might (Every time together)
Let us continue to add to it (Every day for the team)
The now is, in the future’s sky (Forever we are friends)
Waiting for use (I won’t doubt you)

In our connected future, the world we touched
Is not the end but the scene of a new start (that began to move)
The water I jump into, I can feel it
We swim this moment together, the best friends

I swim for the team
We swim together
I believe in my team
We start from here
I swim for the team
We swim together
I believe in my team
We are ever blue

Ramblings:

Normally I wouldn’t get this out until I was sure about all the lyrics but this song is such a beautiful song that summarises this anime well QwQ All about the friendships, the hopes, the hard times they went through then what they have achieved and obtained now. ;w;

HOW COULD I NOT???!!!

I really…can’t think of what to say other than that. It’s just…*sighs* Excuse me while I go put this on repeat and start crying again. My feels for these boys are just…hnnggggg!!!
