Thanks to my good friend F-Man, who once provided me with subtitles of the Now or Never (second opening theme of the 2003 series, also don't ask where he got it, I don't know), I now have a translation of sorts of the Now or Never theme. Some days ago I had spent about over an hour recording the subtitled lyrics onto notepad.
Unfortunately not every bit of the song was subtitled, so the rest provided would be the original lyrics, which really doesn't matter much. Anyhow I wondered if there were others who also wondered about a translation but wouldn't be able to find/can't bother with the subtitled music video. So here I've taken my time to post a thread. Warning: This song is a HECK of a long one.
Capitalized words are English words that were in the original.

Let's send out the child of science
(..kagara..futeru..mi..datte..ba..toge..koibito..dami..)
(..ta no..ma..dou..minna..serru..tobori..ga..dokki..)
(..kagara..futto..mi..datte..ba..toge..koibito..dami..)
(..ta no..ma..dou..minna..serru..)
Who am I supposed to tell?
It's like one scene of a sad drama
BABY CAN IT BE,
That there's nothing ahead?
YOU AND ME are covered with wounds
Let's look to the future
There's no end to anyone's song
That's because we believe it, OH YEAH
How much longer
How much longer are you going to pretend you don't know?
DOES IT HAVE TO BE?
I can't hide
I can't hide all my feelings
Even then, YOU MISS ME, THAT I KNOW
SO WHEN YOU SAY
"Answers
There are no such things."
I SAY THAT'S SOMETHING TO FIND
Confusion
Confusion, everyone has it
SO WHAT SO?
From this point on
NOW OR NEVER ...How many
NOW OR NEVER ...Memories
Have we made together until we got this far?
NOW OR NEVER ...Close your eyes
NOW OR NEVER ...And ask
Because the future is in these hands
FOLLOW WE
(..kagara..futto..mi..datte..ba..toge..koibito..dami..)
(..ta no..ma..dou..minna..serru..ta..minna..eru..minna..ga..dokki..)
The next of the next of the next
The volume of "M-FLO and CHEMI who can see"
IT'S ALL FOR YOU, I talk with you LIKE CURTIS
I'm that kind of artistic ASTRO BOY
WHO'S THAT ASTRO GIRL?
Everyone's WORLD, which is very
EXPO EXPO, and the NEXT
To CATCH THE FUTURE, LET'S GO
WHO'S THE NEXT VO?
The truth we reveal
NINETY NINE, BEEN SO LONG it soaks through
The HISTORY which unfolds, SO KISS ME
The cool MC that makes you say "I love you, I love you."
Always fashionably late
Landing on the moon, having a date secretly
Check in, boarding, FLIGHT ASCEND
Nothing starts without us
The one who was
The one who was with you, IT'S ME
BABY WHY YOU GOTTA HIT THE STREETS?
Tell me,
Tell me, HEY WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?
YOU SAY there's no way we're going to go back
Why you changed your heart
It's a mystery
And MO'HONEY ...NO PROBLEMS
And I can
Throw away everything
NOW OR NEVER ...The memories
NOW OR NEVER ...Were carved
Into our hearts, so let's start again
NOW OR NEVER ...It's not impossible
NOW OR NEVER ...Let's get it back
Because the future is in these hands
Yoshi
(Note: Yoshi can have multiple meanings depending on the kanji used, however I do not have this song's lyrics in kanji. Yoshi however can mean things ranging from "good", "joyous", "righteous", "good luck" or "fragrant", all of which can mean happiness or good well-being.)
HEY CAN'T YOU SEE?
There are no worries
The past that we can't bring back
With tears
Where
Will we start this talk?
With everything
We never told anyone

I love this song... 
Thanks for the translation. Sometimes I get cautious when I listen to a song in another language...since it could be something bad...(Like the second opening theme for Death Note. Yeah, we see what you didn't translate there Viz. Those words are still in English though, lol. Still a good song.)
