The biggest ‘interpretation points’ of this song come in the first two lines – やっと出会えた　今日の空 could also be interpeted as ‘I came across today’s sky at last’ and 待てない夜明け could be interpreted as an exclamation of 待てない (I can’t wait [any longer]) followed by the rest of the sentence. There’s a lot of stuff to consider when choosing which interpretation to go with, including the rest of the song and how the vocalist sings the lines.

非公式の英訳/Unofficial translation

We finally met beneath today’s sky.

Dawn won’t wait and I don’t understand why,
But my instincts know the signs.
Beyond the thick clouds
lies an imposing future that dazzles me.
Yes… it’s there, waiting for us.

At our destination,
(We’ve ran through to the end. We can’t see the starting line.)
The weather is clear.

I raced into the blue sky.
I’ll give this bouquet to your heart.
If you can’t advance, then shall I be your tailwind?
Take you away. Cross over that vapor trail!

Don’t crush your dreams and pride with your own hands!
Shout them out! Again and again, even if you grow hoarse.
We’re invincible since we can laugh together.
That’s right. Let’s go, one way!

I can’t erase the traces of yesterday’s tears,
But I don’t think I want to forget them.
While shaking off my timidity,
I’ll go step by step. Now,
I’ll grip my passport with these hands of mine.

I want to be…
(Longing’s sketched in my heart, along with high-fives.)
myself.

The blue sky shone.
I’ll give you a round of applause in your dream.
Your feet will accelerate so much they can’t be saved.
Fly higher. Push down adversity!

I want to shine with you even more during this irreplaceable moment.
We’ll build rainbows to the sky, over and over again.
We’re invincible since we can laugh together.
That’s right. Let’s go, one way!

We finally met beneath today’s sky.
I feel a fever that doesn’t fade.
There’s no time to turn away from our era.
Set that ultramarine loose!

The blue sky is perfectly clear.
I’m heading far, far away from my point of origin.
Rather than a thousand words, sing a song for a journey’s beginning
until it someday reaches that dream.

I raced into the blue sky.
I’ll give this bouquet to your heart.
If you can’t advance, then shall I be your tailwind?
Take you away. Cross over that vapor trail!

I’ll someday bend over again and cry.
I’ll feel uneasy, and though I’ll cover my mouth
I’ll scream.
Over and over and over and over again…
I can smile since I can encounter you here.
That’s right. Let’s go, one way!
