しあわせの詩 (Shiawase no uta) – Song of happiness
from Shiawase no uta single + Monochrome album.
——
Before I knew it, I’d woken up
The first thing I see is the same old ceiling
What shall I wear today? What shall I eat?
Before I knew it, I’d closed my eyes
The last thing I see is the same old ceiling
What shall I do tomorrow? What thoughts will I have?
As I walk, my footsteps sound comforting
My tired body feels comforting
These small things pass in a flicker, but they are happiness
Someone’s words feel so warm
Your smile is so warm, Um
One by one, each joy accumulates
This is the best happiness
Some things don’t go so well
Why does this happen all the time?
I sigh, but I bounce back quickly
The Northern wind along the way home feels cold
How strange, my cheeks feel so cold
There are days when I want to escape
But especially on hopeless nights
The light from the lamp is so warm
Your reclining back is so warm, Um
Surely, even such a night is precious
To help give me certainty
As I walk, my footsteps sound comforting
My tired body feels comforting
These small things pass in a flicker, but
Someone’s words feel so warm
Your smile is so warm, Um
One by one, each joy accumulates
This is the best happiness

Ki ga tsuku to mata me ga samete
Hajime ni miru itsumo no tenjou
Kyou wa donna fuku wo kite nani wo tabeyou ka
Ki ga tsuku to mata me wo tojite
Saigo ni miru itsumo no tenjou
Ashita wa nani wo shite nani wo omou darou
Arukeba ashioto ga kokochi yokute
Tsukareta karada ga kokochi yokute
Mabataki suru you ni chiisana koto dakedo sore ga shiawase
Dareka no kotoba ga atatakakute
Anata no egao ga atatakakute Um
Hitotsu hitotsu yorokobi ga tsumotte iku
Kore ga ichiban no shiawase
Umaku ikanai koto mo aru
Nande itsumo kou narun darou
Koboreta tameiki ga sugu ni hane kaeru
Kaerimichi kitakaze ga tsumetakute
Hen da ne, hoho ga yake ni tsumetakute
Nige dashitai hi mo aru kedo
Kokorobosoi yoru wa naosara
Tomoshita akari ga atatakakute
Motareta senaka ga atatakakute Um
Kitto konna yoru mo daiji na mono
Tashikameru tame ni arun darou
Arukeba ashioto ga kokochi yokute
Tsukareta karada ga kokochi yokute
Mabataki suru you ni chiisana koto dakedo
Dareka no kotoba ga atatakakute
Anata no egao ga atatakakute Um
Hitotsu hitotsu yorokobi ga tsumotte iku
Kore ga ichiban no shiawase

気がつくとまた目が覚めて
初めに見るいつもの天井
今日はどんな服を着て何を食べようか
気がつくとまた目を閉じて
最後に見るいつもの天井
明日は何をして何を思うだろう
歩けば足音が心地良くて
疲れた体が心地良くて
瞬きするように小さな事だけどそれが幸せ
誰かの言葉が温かくて
あなたの笑顔が温かくてUm
一つ一つ喜びが積もっていく
これが一番の幸せ
うまくいかない事もある
何でいつもこうなるんだろう
こぼれたため息がすぐに跳ね返る
帰り道北風が冷たくて
変だな、頬がやけに冷たくて
逃げ出したい日もあるけど
心細い夜は尚更
灯した明かりが温かくて
もたれた背中が温かくてUm
きっとこんな夜も大事なもの
確かめるためにあるんだろう
歩けば足音が心地良くて
疲れた体が心地良くて
瞬きするように小さな事だけど
誰かの言葉が温かくて
あなたの笑顔が温かくて
一つ一つ喜びが積もっていく
これが一番の幸せ
