歌詞:

[日本語]

[English]

優しさでも くだらなさでも

Whether it's kindness or something silly,

おいしいものでも メロディでも

Or delicious food, or a melody,

心がふと笑えるような

For moments when your heart can just smile,

救いのある日々を願った歌

A song wishing for days that offer salvation.

知らない場所 知らない人 誰しも脇役で 主人公

Unknown places, unknown people, everyone is a supporting character and the protagonist.

待ち侘びたのか 眠れぬまま迎えたのか 白む空

Did you wait anxiously, or did you greet it after a sleepless night? The sky is growing light.

雨 風 晴れ 窓の外 どう見るのか きっとみんな違うな

Rain, wind, clear skies outside the window – how we see it, surely everyone is different.

めぐりあって 好くなった 未来のイメージがあったり

Sometimes we encounter things and develop a good image of the future,

急に居なくなったり それでも僕らの 腹は鳴ってしまう

Or things suddenly disappear, yet our stomachs still rumble.

「それはそれ、これはこれ」

"That's that, this is this,"

等しくて だから 難しいよ

They're equal, yet that's why it's so hard.

どん底 退屈 有頂天も 同じ朝に暮らす

Even rock bottom, boredom, and ecstasy live on in the same morning.

銘々 ゆえに 想いたいな

Since we are all unique, I want to keep on thinking.

優しさでも くだらなさでも

Whether it's kindness or something silly,

おいしいものでも メロディでも

Or delicious food, or a melody,

心がちゃんと泣けるような 救いのある日々を願った歌

A song wishing for days of salvation, where your heart can truly cry.

森ではなく 木を見るように

Rather than seeing the forest, like looking at the trees,

人を見たい ひとりとひとり

I want to see people, one by one.

隠すように沈めた気持ち

The feelings I've submerged as if to hide them,

掬い上げたくて この今を選んでいる

Wanting to scoop them up, I'm choosing this present moment.

働く その背中 原付の音 コーヒーの匂い

Working backs, the sound of scooters, the smell of coffee –

「綺麗」を司る 灯り一つ一つにも営み

Even in each light that oversees "beauty," there's daily life.

行く人 帰る人 建て直す前の あの駅を想う

People coming and going – I think of that station before it was rebuilt.

何だかんだ まあ 元気してるよ

Somehow, well, I'm doing fine.

会えないから 会いたい なんて

"I can't see you, so I want to,"

ああ、生きてるわ

Ah, I'm alive.

「それはそれ、今は今」

"That's that, now is now,"

勤しもう 愛したいぜ 今日を

Let's strive, I want to love today.

人の振りより まず我が振り

Before others' ways, first consider my own.

そして共に暮らす

And then we live together.

銘々 ゆえに 想えるんだ

Since we are all unique, we can feel.

優しさでも くだらなさでも

Whether it's kindness or something silly,

おいしいものでも メロディでも

Or delicious food, or a melody,

心がふと笑えるような

For moments when your heart can just smile,

救いのある日々を願った歌

A song wishing for days that offer salvation.

森ではなく 木を見るように

Rather than seeing the forest, like looking at the trees,

人を見たい ひとりとひとり

I want to see people, one by one.

隠すように沈めた気持ち

The feelings I've submerged as if to hide them,

掬い上げたくて この今を選んでいる

Wanting to scoop them up, I'm choosing this present moment.

知らない場所 知らない人

Unknown places, unknown people –

誰しも脇役で 主人公

Everyone is a supporting character and the protagonist.

知っているかい？

Do you know?

世界の中心は 何時だって自分だよ

The center of the world is always yourself.

僕で、君で、あの人だ

It's me, it's you, it's that person.

It suggests inclusiveness or a wide range of options. In this line, it lists different things that could make one's heart spontaneously smile.

• 心がふと笑えるような 救いのある日々を願った歌

  ➔ Clause + You na (Descriptive Comparison)

  ➔ 「**ような**」 is used to provide an example, comparison, or describe something by its characteristic, meaning 'like,' 'such that,' or 'as if.' Here, it describes the 'days' (日々) as 'days *such that* the heart can spontaneously smile and find salvation.'

• 知らない場所 知らない人 誰しも脇役で 主人公

  ➔ Dare shimo (Everyone/Anyone)

  ➔ 「**誰しも**」 means 'everyone' or 'anyone.' It implies that without exception, every single person fits the description, emphasizing universality. It is often used in slightly formal or reflective contexts.

• 眠れぬまま迎えたのか

  ➔ Verb + Mama (Maintaining State)

  ➔ 「**まま**」 indicates that a state or condition remains unchanged. It means 'as is,' 'while remaining,' or 'without changing.' Here, 「眠れぬ**まま**」 means 'while unable to sleep' or 'without having slept,' emphasizing that the action of 'welcoming' occurred in that continuous state.

• 未来のイメージがあったり

  ➔ Verb (ta-form) + Tari (Listing Examples)

  ➔ 「**たり**」 is used to list a few examples of actions or states, implying that there are other similar things happening or possibilities. It suggests an incomplete list or a variety of instances, giving a sense of 'doing X, doing Y, among other things.' Here, 「あったり」 implies 'there might be X (future images), among other possibilities.'

• それても僕らの 腹は鳴ってしまう

  ➔ Verb (te-form) + Shimau (Completion/Regret)

  ➔ 「**てしまう**」 indicates that an action is completed, often completely or unexpectedly. It can also convey a sense of regret, misfortune, or that something happened despite one's intentions. Here, 「鳴って**しまう**」 means 'ends up rumbling' or 'unavoidably rumbles,' perhaps with a hint of resignation that basic needs persist regardless of circumstances.

• 「それはそれ、これはこれ」

  ➔ X wa X, Y wa Y (Idiomatic Distinction)

  ➔ This idiomatic expression 「**XはX、YはY**」 emphasizes the distinctness or separation of two things, suggesting that they should be treated independently. It translates to 'that's that, and this is this,' or 'let's separate the two (issues/matters).' It implies that despite a superficial similarity or connection, they are fundamentally different.

• 銘々 ゆえに 想いたいな

• 森ではなく 木を見るように

  ➔ Noun + De wa naku (Not X, but Y)

  ➔ 「**ではなく**」 means 'not X, but Y.' It's used to negate the preceding noun and introduce an alternative or corrected statement, clarifying what something is *not* in contrast to what it *is*.

• 会いたい なんて

  ➔ Clause/Noun + Nante (Expressing Emotion/Emphasis)

  ➔ 「**なんて**」 is a versatile particle used to express a strong emotional reaction, such as surprise, disbelief, contempt, admiration, or to emphasize a statement.
