Romaji
Koko ni irundato shiraseru you ni naite
Umareru no ha akkenaku toutoi inochi
Chiisai hikari sono saki ni matte iru no ha
Michinaru noise jiyu fujiyu te ni oezu fukuramu kibou
Donna omoi sosogikomi sono inochi ni na wo tsukeru?
Hana no you ni tori no you ni utsukushiku shinayakani
Sono hi no sora no iro wo zutto wasurenaide
Ikutsumo higa shizumi shio ha michi hiite
Omowamu hougaku ni korogaru inochi
Nanikamo yoteidoori susumi ha shinai
Soredemo chiisana karada shikkari dakishimete yareru kai?
Donna mirai kitaishite sono inochi ni na wo tsukeru?
Ame no you ni yuki no you ni massugu ni kiyoraka ni
Ano hi no kaze no nioi oboete imasuka
Sono koe ha naniyorimo anata no koto dake motometeru
Donna omoi sosogikomi sono inochi ni na wo tsukeru?
Daichi no you ni umi no you ni tsuyoi kokoro moteru you ni
Makenu you ni, aiseru you ni dareka wo teraseru you ni
Sekai ga kawatta ano hi wo zutto wasurenaide
Kanji
ここにいるんだと 知らせるように 泣いて
生まれるのは あっけなく尊い命
小さい光 その先に待っているのは
未知なるノイズ 自由不自由 手に負えず膨らむ希望
どんな思い 注ぎ込み その命に名をつける？
花のように 鳥のように 美しく しなやかに
その日の空の色を ずっと忘れないで
いくつも陽が沈み 潮は満ち引いて
思わぬ方角に 転がる命
何かも予定どおり進みはしない
それでも 小さな体 しっかり抱きしめてやれるかい？
どんな未来 期待して その命に名をつけた？
雨のように 雪のように まっすぐに 清らかに
あの日の風のにおい 憶えていますか
その声は何よりも あなたのことだけ 求めてる
どんな思い 注ぎ込み その命に名をつけた？
大地のように 海のように 強い心 持てるように
負けぬように愛せるように 誰かを照らせるように
世界が変わったあの日を ずっと忘れないで
English
Whilst crying, "It's here!" is exclaimed to relay the news to me
What's been born is a precious new life
A small light — what awaits you beyond that
Is unknown noise, freedom, discomfort and uncontrollable, expanding hope
What type of thoughts did I pour into this name when I give it this life?
Just like a flower, just like a bird — beautiful and flexible
Don't ever forget the color of the sky as it was that day
The sinking sun will set countless times and the tides will have their change...
As this tumbling life rolls on in an unknown direction
Nothing will go as planned
But can I hold this tiny body tightly for now?
What type of future did I expect when I chose this name?
Just like the rain, just like the snow — coming down straight and pure
Do you remember the scent of the wind as it was that day?
More than anything, that voice will appeal only to you
What type of thoughts did I pour into this name when I give it this life?
Just like the earth, just like the sea — a heart so strong
So that you cannot lose, so that you can love, so that you can shine on someone,
Never forget the day that your world changed
