I like that this song is a little bit like Don't You Get It when it comes to the message in the lyrics, and a bit like Fight Song in the optimism department. :)

這い出るようにWake up 背中にしがみつく Tiredness
ハリキリすぎたLast night 切ない 後悔
We can not rewind the time
人生は まるでカーニバル 気づけば祭りのあと
愛して 愛されてFall ふたつとないアトラクション
A ha 見つめる場所が A ha アベレージでは
A ha 超えていけない そう キズついても
挑めボーダーライン(Go up and down!) 届くまで
何度もCry and Try (You’re just fine) Don’t give up!
規定通りの演技など 打ち破れ BURN!
サイコーもサイテーもMy life
Shake it up baby! Shake it up baby!
涙は喜びへの
One-way road
昨日と同じBus stop 曜日もあやふやな Day by day
飲み込まれてたまるか 儚い 消せない
We can not rewind the time
人生は 夢のカーニバル 手に汗握る大激闘
追われて 追い抜いて Fall ふたつとないシーソーゲーム
A ha 見上げる夜空 A ha 星はなくても
A ha 雲の向こうで そう 輝いてる
言葉はいらない(Go up and down!) 踏み出せば
風向きはBehind (You’re just fine) Don’t give up!
想定外のカウンターで 突き進めBURN!
酸いも甘いもYour life
Shake it up baby! Shake it up baby!
カナシミは煌めきへの
One-way road
誰もが違う思いを抱えながら 絶望と希望を繰り返し
挑めボーダーライン(Go up and down!) 届くまで
何度もCry and Try (You’re just fine) Don’t give up!
規定通りの演技など 打ち破れ! (打ち破れば)
言葉はいらない(Go up and down!) 踏み出せば
風向きはBehind (You’re just fine) Don’t give up!
想定外のカウンターで 突き進めBURN!
酸いも甘いもYour life
Shake it up baby! Shake it up baby!

Haideru you ni wake up senaka ni shigamitsuku tiredness
Harikiri sugita last night setsunai koukai
We can not rewind the time
Jinsei wa marude kaanibaru kizukeba matsuri no ato
Aishite aisarete fall futatsu to nai atorakushon
A ha mitsumeru basho ga a ha abereeji de wa
A ha koete ikenai sou kizutsuite mo
Idome boodaarain (go up and down!) todoku made
Nando mo cry and try (you're just fine) don't give up!
Kitei doori no engi nado uchiyabure burn!
Saikoo mo saitee mo my life
Shake it up baby! Shake it up baby!
Namida wa yorokobi e no
One-way road
Kinou to onaji bus stop youbi mo ayafuya na day by day
Nomikomarete tamaruka hakanai kesenai
We can not rewind the time
Jinsei wa yume no kaanibaru te ni ase nigiru daigekitou
Owarete oinuite fall futatsu to nai shiisoogeemu
A ha miageru yozora a ha hoshi wa nakute mo
A ha kumo no mukou de sou kagayaiteru
Kotoba wa iranai (go up and down!) fumidaseba

Souteigai no kauntaa de tsukisusume burn!
Sui mo amai mo your life
Shake it up baby! Shake it up baby!

TRANSLATIONS
I crawl out of bed and wake up, tiredness still clinging to my back
I pushed myself too hard last night, I'm fed up, I regret it, but
We cannot rewind the time
Life is like a carnival, the party's over before you know it
Sometimes we love, sometimes we're loved and we fall, no two attractions are the same
A ha, if the goal we seek, A ha, is mediocre,
A ha, there's nothing to conquer, that's right, even if trying hurts,
Challenge your limits (Go up and down!) Until you break them
Cry and try over and over again (You're just fine) Don't give up!
Stop playing by the rules and break them, BURN!
For better or for worse, it's my life
Shake it up baby! Shake it up baby!
The tears you shed
Are a one-way road to happiness
The same bus stop as yesterday, day by day, I can barely remember what day it is
I refuse to let the world control me, how fleeting yet permanent,
We cannot rewind the time
Life is like a carnival of dreams, put up your fists, this is a fierce battle,
Sometimes we're chased, other times we do the chasing and fall, no two tactics are the same
A ha, If the night sky I see, A ha, is absent of every star
A ha, I'll still know they're shining beyond the blanket of clouds
No need for words (Go up and down!) Just take that step forward
The wind will give you a push from behind (You're just fine) Don't give up!
Give 'em an unexpected counterattack and push forward, BURN!
The good and the bad, it's your life
Shake it up baby! Shake it up baby!
Sorrow is necessary,
It's the one-way road to success
Everyone chases after different passions, yet all experience a never-ending cycle of despair and hope
Challenge your limits (Go up and down!) Until you break them
Cry and try over and over again (You're just fine) Don't give up!
Stop playing by the rules and break them (If you break them)
No need for words (Go up and down!) Just take that step forward
The wind will give you a push from behind (You're just fine) Don't give up!
Give 'em an unexpected counterattack and push forward, BURN!
The good and the bad, it's your life
Shake it up baby! Shake it up baby!
Sorrow is necessary,
The one-way road to success
**Translator's Notes:**
☆My translations are never literal. For lyrics, I listen to a single song countless times before I even bother to sit down and type out the translations because I like to understand the lyrics in context with the music. I want to preserve and convey the ideas and intentions of the words properly. (Fun fact: I take longer to translate lyrics for this reason!)
Important notes:
☆ Please do not copy-paste my lyrics transcriptions, romaji, or translations to any other online medium (LJ, Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, etc.). If you intend to share a segment of this post elsewhere, please ask me first and let me know how you wish to use it.
☆ My translations are not available for retranslating.
