はじまりのうた (Hajimari no uta) – The song of beginnings


from G4 V -Democracy 2019- single.

——

Hey, once more, singing the song of beginnings
To myself as I walk on the slope
I feel that I can hear a nostalgic voice

Ah, once more, my thoughts overflow
That moment, that summer, that smile
Without hesitating, the blue of the sky makes me cry

I can’t stop today.
I’m walking.

The tears you shed have always blocked up my chest
Again, the seasons thrust reality upon us

Not turning back on the chosen road, yes, I’ll go again today
On days when you’re glad you made this choice, yes
Let your heart’s sky sing the song of beginnings

Hey, softly, I speak to the wind
Reaching the familiar slope I’ve walked
Will I understand the meaning of the tears that day?

I can’t stop…

I can’t stop today.
I’m walking.

Everyone walks the path they’ve drawn up
Doesn’t mean they’re living surrounded with smiles
Hey, once again, the tears overflow
The clouds, once again, flow along
The gentle sound of the bell that marks time is echoing through the city

Not turning back on the chosen road, yes, go again today
On days when you’re glad you made this choice, yes
Let your heart’s sky sing the song of beginnings

From now till forever
Always and forever
Echoing in my heart’s sky
A melody born
The song of beginnings is proof that I’ve lived

Hey, someday, the song of beginnings
Shall we sing it together?
Under the clear, faraway blue sky

Nee mata, hajimari no uta wo
Kuchizusami sakamichi wo arukeba
Natsukashii koe ga kikoeru ki ga shite

Aa mata, omoi ga afureru yo
Ano toki, ano natsu, ano egao
Yodomi no nai, sora no aosa ni nakete kuru

I can’t stop today.
I’m walking.

Kimi ga nagashita namida ga, zutto mune ni tsukkaeta mama
Kisetsu ga mata, bokura ni genjitsu wo tsuki tsukeru

Eranda michi wo furi kaerazu sou kyou mo iku
Erande yokatta to omoeta hi wa sou
Hajimari no uta wo kokoro no sora de utatte yo

Nee sotto, kaze wo aoide
Aruki nareta sakamichi wo tadoreba
Ano hi no namida no imi ga wakaru kana?

I can’t stop…

I can’t stop today.
I’m walking.

Daremo ga minna, mizukara egaita michi wo aruite
Egao ni tsutsumare kuraseteru wake ja nai
Nee mata, namida ga afureteru
Kumo ga, mata, nagare nagareteru
Toki wo kizamu yasashii kane no ne ga, machijuu ni hibiiteru

Eranda michi wo furi kaerazu sou kyou mo ike
Erande yokatta to omoeta hi wa sou
Hajimari no uta wo kokoro no sora de utatte yo

Korekaramo zutto
Itsumademo zutto
Kokoro no sora ni hibiiteku
Umare kuru merodii
Hajimari no uta wa ikita akashi sono mono

Nee itsuka, hajimari no uta wo
Isshoni utatte kurenai ka?
Yoku hareta, tooi aozora no shita de

KANJI

ねぇ また、はじまりのうたを
口ずさみ坂道を歩けば
懐かしい声が聞こえる気がして

あぁ また、思いが溢れるよ
あの瞬間(とき)、あの夏、あの笑顔
淀みのない、空の青さに泣けてくる

I can’t stop today.
I’m walking.

君が流した涙が、ずっと胸につっかえたまま
季節がまた、僕らに現実を突きつける

選んだ道を振り返らずそう 今日も行く
選んで良かったと 思えた日はそう
はじまりのうたを 心の空で歌ってよ

ねえ そっと、風を仰いで
歩き慣れた坂道を辿れば
あの日の涙の意味が分かるかな?

I can’t stop…

I can’t stop today.
I’m walking.

誰もが皆、自ら描いた道を歩いて
笑顔に包まれ暮らせてる訳じゃない
ねえ また、涙が溢れてる
雲が、また、流れ流れてる
時を刻む優しい鐘の音が、街中に響いてる

選んだ道を振り返らずそう 今日も行け
選んで良かったと 思えた日はそう
はじまりのうたを 心の空で歌ってよ

これからもずっと
いつまでもずっと
心の空に響いてく
生まれくるメロディー
はじまりのうたは生きた証そのもの

ねぇ いつか、はじまりのうたを
一緒に歌ってくれないか?
よく晴れた、遠い青空の下で
