Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

幸せとは

What happiness is

星が降る夜と眩しい朝が

It's not something that repeats like a night with falling stars and a dazzling morning

繰り返すようなものじゃなく

It's being able to hold an umbrella for someone important when it rains

大切な人に降りかかった

雨に傘を差せることだ

...

何の為に生きていくのか

I don't need to know why I'm living

答えなんて無くていいよ

It's okay if there's no answer

会いたい人と必要なものを

If I can protect a little of the people I want to meet and the things I need

少し守れたら

Without stretching myself or being humble

背伸びもへりくだりもせずに

Just as I am

僕のそのままで

If I could sing my beloved feelings

愛しい気持ちを歌えたなら

What happiness is

幸せとは

It's not something that repeats like a night with falling stars and a dazzling morning

星が降る夜と眩しい朝が

It's being able to hold an umbrella for someone important when it rains

繰り返すようなものじゃなく

Even if I strain my eyes without blinking

大切な人に降りかかった

It's not something that can be found

雨に傘をさせることだ

That's why I want you to be by my side

瞬きもせずに目を凝らしても

People who lived for their dreams

見付かる類のものじゃない

People for whom the wrong path turned out to be right

だからそばにいて欲しいんだ

People who spent their time for someone else

夢のために生きられた人

People who lived for themselves

逸れた道が正解だった人

I couldn't become anyone

誰かの為に費やした人

But if you think you need me today too

自分を生きた人

What happiness is

誰にもなれなかったけど

It's not something that repeats like a night with falling stars and a dazzling morning

ただ今日も僕を必要だと思ってくれたら

It's being able to hold an umbrella for someone important when it rains

幸せとは

Again, I find my weakness and hesitate

星が降る夜と眩しい朝が

But can I really do that?

繰り返すようなものじゃなく

In the place I found with my eyes closed

大切な人に降りかかった

雨に傘をさせることだ

また弱さ見つけて戸惑う僕に

What happiness is

でもそれが出来るだろうか

It's not something that repeats like a night with falling stars and a dazzling morning

目を閉じて見つけた場所で

It's being able to hold an umbrella for someone important when it rains

...

It's that I end up being protected more

幸せとは

I always want you by my side

星が降る夜と眩しい朝が

I always want you to be there

繰り返すようなものじゃなく

Whether my eyes are open or closed

大切な人に降りかかった

雨に傘をさせることだ

そしていつの間にか

僕の方が守られてしまう事だ

いつもそばに

いつも君がいて欲しいんだ

目を開けても目を閉じても

...
