Taiyou no uta (song of the sun)

by Erika Sawajiri @ Kauru Amane

Furuete iru watashi no te ni
Hajimete kimi ga furete
Yasashii kimochi atatakasa ni
Yatto kizuitan da

Tozashita mado akereba
Atarashii kaze ga fuita

Waratte naite kimi to deaete
Mieru sekai wa kagayakidashita
Himawari yureru taiyou no shita de
Kanjite ita kaze wo kimi wo

Shinjiru koto mayou koto mo
Tachidomaru koto mo zenbu
Watashi ga ima koko de ikiteru
Kotae ka mo shirenai

Monokuro no mainichi ga
Irozuite yuku you ni

Waratte naite kimi to deaete
Tsuzuku mirai wa kagayaite ita
Himawari yureru taiyou no shita de
Watashi no mama ashita wo utau yo

Kagiri aru hibi wo tomaranai jikan wo
Dore dake aiseru kana? Aiseru yo ne
Kimi ga ireba hikari sae mo
Sorasanai de

Waratte naite kimi to deaete
Tsuzuku mirai wa kagayaite ita
Himawari yureru taiyou no shita de
Watashi no mama ashita wo

Arigatou tsutaetai ima nara ieru yo
Sugoshita kisetsu mo wasure wa shinai yo
Himawari yureru taiyou no you ni
Watashi no uta kimi wo terasu yo

Watashi no mama kimi wo...

===================
You touched my trembling hand
For the first time
And I finally experienced
A gentle feeling of warmth

I opened the window that had been shut
And a new wind blew in

Laughing, crying, meeting you
The world I saw began to shine
Under the sun where the sunflowers swayed
I felt the wind, I felt you

Believing, being lost,
And stopping short, and everything
Maybe it’s all an answer
To why I’m alive here and now

Let my monochromatic days
Take on colour

Laughing, crying, meeting you
The future ahead of us was shining
Under the sun where the sunflowers sway
I sing about tomorrow as I am

How much can we love each other
In this unstoppable time, these limited days?
We can love each other, right?
When you're here, I don't even turn away from the light

Laughing, crying, meeting you
The future ahead of us was shining
Under the sun where the sunflowers sway
I sing about tomorrow

I want to say thank you, I can say it now
I won't forget the seasons we’ve spent
Like the sun the sunflowers sway under
My song will shine on you

For you, as I am...

Distance

-----------------------------

The distance between you and me;
Like a giant wall that was built in between;
Would we be able to overcome;
This test just by ourselves?

Uncertainties is all I have,
To be away so far from you,
But faith has hold me tight,
Allowing me to scare no more.

Have you been watching the same sky as I am?
Reaching out my hand to the starry night,
Hoping that it would reach to you,
To hold you tight this very night.

Can we withstand this feeling?
This feeling of sadness and loneliness,
This feeling of unsecure,
When would be the day of our reunion?

Crying myself to sleep each night,
Seeing your smile, your image when I close my eyes,
It is like your image has been burned into my eyelids,
Will this be the source of my strength in days of trouble?

Wanting to give away this feeling,
But this would mean letting you go away from me,
It hurt so much just by the thought of it,
What can I do to withstand it?

Why am I alone in my room?
Are there anyone else who is feeling the same as I am?
Having a distance love,
And being alone on this day?
This valentine?

Only Human

-----------------------------

On the other side of sadness, there is something called smile;
If only I can get over there, what will be waiting for me?
Dreams are not for us to run away, but for us to go on a journey,
A journey far far away from the broken lives we lived.

Tomorrow, will I be able to see?
A day without sighing?
A day where love overflows?
But as for now I will try my best to move on…

A place of suffering, a place that everyone yearns for happiness,
If only I can find the flower that brings miracles;
We are not here to run away, but waiting for tomorrow,
Looking at the clouds high above, unable to hold back my tears.

Loneliness, I have gotten used to it,
To be independent,
Not to shout out for help,
Just thinking of moving further and further…

Will it turn out right to walk through this alley that has little sunshine?
Like when the clouds went away, allowing the sunshine shone on the damp road.
Tears and injuries, will they be able to guide me?
Along this dark alley towards the blinding light.
