ひらがなけやき (Hiragana keyaki) – Hiragana zelkova
from Sekai ni wa ai shika nai single.
——
Surely nobody yet knows
The me who walks within the wind…
A new uniform on the road to school
I’ve transferred from another place
As autumn begins…
Just like how colors change
From one zelkova tree
I’d like to grow familiar
Slowly with this city
The wilted leaves flutter down
Changing the season’s look
A blue sky with a different expression
From yesterday is born
Slightly apart from everyone else
I walk on hesitantly…
Classmates called out to me
Walk next to me
Just like old friends
The zelkova tree by the street corner
Is always so kind
That path I used to walk
Always has the same scenery…
The new leaves of next year
What are they thinking?
Overlapping numerous memories
Sunlight between the leaves is born
Pleased to make your acquaintance
Just like hiragana
With my honest self
I’ll remain…
Just like how colors change
From one zelkova tree
I’d like to grow familiar
Slowly with this city
The wilted leaves flutter down
Changing the season’s look
A blue sky with a different expression
From yesterday is born

Kitto mada daremo shiranai
Kaze no naka wo aruku watashi wo…
Tsuugakuro ni atarashii seifuku
Tenkou shite kita no
Aki ga hajimaru koro…
Ippon no keyaki kara
Irozuiteku you ni
Kono machi ni sukoshi zutsu
Najinde yuketara ii
Mai ochiru kareha-tachi
Kisetsu wo ki gaete
Kinou to wa chigau hyoujou no
Aozora ga umareru
Sukoshi minna to wa hanarete
Fuan sou ni aruku watashi ni…
Koe wo kakete kureta kurasumeito
Tonari ni narandara
Furui shinyuu mitai
Machikado no keyaki tte
Itsudatte yasashii
Kayotteta ano michi mo
Onnaji fuukei de…
Rainen no wakaba ni wa
Nani wo omou darou
Omoide ga ikutsumo kasanatte
Komorebi ga umareru
Korekara yoroshiku
Hiragana no you ni
Sunao na jibun de
Ari no mama…
Ippon no keyaki kara
Irozuiteku you ni
Kono machi ni sukoshi zutsu
Najinde iketara ii
Mai ochiru kareha-tachi
Kisetsu wo ki gaete
Kinou to wa chigau hyoujou no
Aozora ga umareru

KANJI
きっと まだ誰も知らない
風の中を歩く私を…
通学路に新しい制服
転校して来たの
秋が始まる頃…
一本の欅から
色づいてくように
この街に少しずつ
馴染んで行けたらいい
舞い落ちる枯葉たち
季節を着替えて
昨日とは違う表情の
青空が生まれる
少し みんなとは離れて
不安そうに歩く私に…
声を掛けてくれたクラスメイト
隣に並んだら
古い親友みたい
街角の欅って
いつだってやさしい
通(かよ)ってたあの道も
同(おんな)じ風景で…
来年の若葉には
何を想うだろう
思い出がいくつも重なって
木漏れ日が生まれる
これからよろしく
ひらがなのように
素直な自分で
ありのまま…
一本の欅から
色づいてくように
この街に少しずつ
馴染んで行けたらいい
舞い落ちる枯葉たち
季節を着替えて
昨日とは違う表情の
青空が生まれる
