If I could use many colours
To draw out my feelings
I would have taken up a brush
And drawn a picture

If by lining up various words
I could choose the feelings I want
I would have taken up a pen
And written a letter

Uh, but I can’t do that
So I’ve sung this song
Uh, because I can’t do anything else
I turn the key and give it to you

On days when you cry
I held on to one courage and promised
To stay by you…

So you don’t need to cry anymore
Even though I can’t say it well

On days when you smile
I want to hold on to two gentlenesses and give praise
That we have understood each other

From now till forever…

Takusan no iro wo tsukatte
Kimochi wo egaketa nara
Watashi wa kono te ni fude wo tori
E wo kaita deshou

Ikutsuka no kotoba narabete
Kimochi wo erabeta nara
Watashi wa kono te ni pen wo tori
Tegami wo kaita deshou

Uh dakedo ne sore ga dekinakute
Kono uta wo utau koto ni shimashita
Uh hoka ni wa nanimo dekinakute
Kagi wo kake okurimasu

Anata ga namida no hi ni wa
Tsuyosa wo hitotsu kakaete chikatta
Soba ni iru koto wo…

Dakara mou nakanakute ii yo
Kiyou ni wa tsutaerarenai keredo

Anata ga egao no hi ni wa
Yasashisa futatsu kakaete tataetai
Omoi aeta koto wo

Korekara mo zutto…

たくさんの色を使って
気持ちを描けたなら
私はこの手に筆を取り
絵を描いたでしょう

いくつかの言葉並べて
気持ちを選べたなら
私はこの手にペンを取り
手紙を書いたでしょう

Uh だけどねそれが出来なくて
この歌を歌う事にしました
Uh 他には何も出来なくて
鍵をかけ 贈ります

あなたが涙の日には
強さをひとつ抱えて誓った
そばにいる事を…

だからもう泣かなくていいよ
器用には伝えられないけれど

あなたが笑顔の日には
優しさふたつ抱えて讃えたい
想い合えた事を

これからもずっと…
