ひまわりの約束 (Himawari no yakusoku) – Sunflower’s promise

from Himawari no yakusoku single.

——

Why are you crying? I’m not crying yet
If you feel more sadness than me, then I don’t even know who’s hurting more

When we’re together, even a horrible day becomes a treasure

I want to stay by you. Is there anything I can do for you?
I just want to smile, always and forever, for you
Like the sunflowers, with their honest kindness and warmth
From now on, I want to deliver those too, because I’ve realized the happiness I have here

Even if we separate sometime in the faraway future
As we walk different paths, I believe we will meet again

Now, our mismatched paces come together as one

I won’t forget being with you, sharing these casual moments together
I hope to wave goodbye with a smile when you set off on your journey
Like the sunflowers, with their honest kindness and warmth
I want to repay these, but you’ll surely tell me that it’s more than enough

I want to stay by you. Is there anything I can do for you?
I just want to smile, always and forever, for you
Like the sunflowers, with their honest kindness and warmth
From now on, I want to deliver those too, because I’ve found the true meaning of happiness

Doushite kimi ga naku no mada boku mo naite inai no ni
Jibun yori kanashimu kara tsurai no ga docchi ka wakaranaku naru yo

Garakuta datta hazu no kyou ga futari nara takaramono ni naru

Soba ni itai yo kimi no tame ni dekiru koto ga boku ni aru kana
Itsumo kimi ni zutto kimi ni waratteite hoshikute
Himawari no you na massugu na sono yasashisa wo nukumori wo zenbu
Korekara wa boku mo todokete ikitai koko ni aru shiawase ni kizuita kara

Tooku de tomoru mirai moshimo bokura ga hanaretemo
Sorezore aruite iku sono saki de mata deaeru to shinjite

Chiguhagu datta hazu no hohaba hitotsu no you ni kasanaru

Soba ni iru koto nanigenai kono shunkan mo wasure wa shinai yo
Tabidachi no hi te wo furu toki egao de irareru you ni
Himawari no you na massugu na sono yasashisa wo nukumori wo zenbu
Kaeshitai keredo kimi no koto dakara mou juubun da yo tte kitto iu kana

Soba ni itai yo kimi no tame ni dekiru koto ga boku ni aru kana
Itsumo kimi ni zutto kimi ni waratteite hoshikute
Himawari no you na massugu na sono yasashisa wo nukumori wo zenbu
Korekara wa boku mo todokete ikitai hontou no shiawase no imi wo mitsuketa kara

どうして君が泣くの　まだ僕も泣いていないのに
自分より　悲しむから　つらいのがどっちか　わからなくなるよ

ガラクタだったはずの今日が　ふたりなら　宝物になる

そばにいたいよ　君のために出来ることが　僕にあるかな
いつも君に　ずっと君に　笑っていてほしくて
ひまわりのような　まっすぐなその優しさを　温もりを　全部
これからは僕も　届けていきたい　ここにある幸せに　気づいたから

遠くで　ともる未来　もしも　僕らが離れても
それぞれ歩いていく　その先で　また　出会えると信じて

ちぐはぐだったはずの歩幅　ひとつのように　今　重なる

そばにいること　なにげないこの瞬間も　忘れはしないよ
旅立ちの日　手を振る時　笑顔でいられるように
ひまわりのような　まっすぐなその優しさを　温もりを　全部
返したいけれど　君のことだから　もう充分だよって　きっと言うかな

そばにいたいよ　君のために出来ることが　僕にあるかな
いつも君に　ずっと君に　笑っていてほしくて
ひまわりのような　まっすぐなその優しさを　温もりを　全部
これからは僕も　届けていきたい　本当の幸せの意味を見つけたから
