The direct video link has some odd misreadings of certain verbs, and tends to skip/blend together some lines, but the Japanese lyrics also have some hard to parse areas, especially the chorus that goes: 轍と共にある今に指輪をはめてあげましょう is something along the lines of 'Together with/alongside this rut (in the now) I shall give you a ring (and bind you down) since はめる has not only a connotation of putting something, such as a ring or a glove that fits nicely, but also to bind somebody down with a circular item, such as handcuffs. It's probably a play on the 'ring' acting as 'handcuffs' in tying one down by marriage. But at 1:08 the line is mistranslated and should be instead of 'So that I won't forget myself tommorow' it's 'So that I won't forget the me of tomorrow/my future self' since 明日の僕 is a set noun phrase. I can tell that this person really gave it their all, but there are a good amount of mistakes in the translation.
