馴れる ~ To Grow Accustomed

馴れるな
馴れるな
一生馴れるな
馴れると
感動がなくなってしまう

Don't get used to things
  Don't grow accustomed
  Don't ever grow accustomed
  Because when you grow accustomed
  You lose your sense of wonder

感動がなくなったら
人生はおしまいだ

And when you lose that sense of wonder
  Life is over

馴れほどこわいものはない
いつも初めて
いつも初心

There is nothing more fearsome than growing accustomed [to things]
  Everything should always be a "first"
  Everything should always be a fresh start

何回同じことをやっても
今日が初めて

No matter how many times you do the same thing
  Today is a "first"

初めてだから
緊張で身体がふるえる
ふるえていいのだ
初心だからふるえるのが
あたりまえなのだ

And because it's a "first"
  You should tremble with nervousness
  And it's fine to tremble
  It's because it's a fresh start that you tremble
  That's a given

XD  And of course Riida, the one who speaks the least, gets the briefest poem.  But despite the brevity, there still is profundity to be found aplenty.
