大人たちの はんぶんも 生きては いないけれど 笑いあったり遊んだり 傷つきながら歩く やさしい風が吹くように 草をなでていくように |
otonatachi no hanbun mo ikitewa inai keredo warai attari asondari kizu tsukinagara aruku soo namida to egao kawarugawaru ni |
I haven’t lived even half as long as adults have, We walked while we laughed, played, and got hurt Yes, the two who shared smiles and tears one after the other... (I miss you) |
Grown-ups have done so much more stuff than me My favorite baseball cap rests on my head Though sometimes I got sad and almost cried Together, we walked that road for so long That even if you can’t put faith in those Now we, who shared our Smiles and Tears... |
