降り始めた雪は　足跡消して

真っ白な世界に　ひとりのわたし

風が心にささやくの

このままじゃ　ダメなんだと

とまどい　傷つき

誰にも　打ち明けずに　悩んでた

それももう　やめよう

ありのままの　姿見せるのよ

ありのままの　自分になるの

何も怖くない　風よ吹け

少しも寒くないわ

悩んでたことが　うそみたいね

だってもう自由よ　なんでもできる

どこまでやれるか　自分を試したいの

そうよ変わるのよ　わたし

ありのままで　空へ風に乗って

ありのままで　飛び出してみるの

二度と　涙は流さないわ

冷たく大地を包み込み

高く舞い上がる　想い描いて

花咲く氷の結晶のように

輝いていたい　もう決めたの

これでいいの　自分を好きになって

これでいいの　自分信じて

光あびながら　歩きだそう

少しも寒くないわ

The snow which started to fall erased the footsteps

In this white world, I am alone

The winds whisper to my heart

That things can't stay the same

Confused, hurt

Unable to let anyone know, I was distressed

But let's end that too

Let's show them the form I really am

Let's return to the self I really am

I'm not scared of anything, winds, blow!

I'm not cold at all

The things which I worried about seem but a trifle now

Because I'm free, I can do anything

The limits of what I can do I want to test myself

Yes, I'm going to change

In my true form, I'm going to ride the winds into the sky

In my true form, I'm going to jump out

I'm never going to cry again

Surrounding he earth with the cold

I will soar high above, imagining

Like the flowering ice crystals

I want to shine, I already decided

This is the way it should be, I want to love myself

This is the way it should be, believing in myself

Basking in the light, I will start walking

I'm not cold at all

ある田舎の駅の近く

2つの店が並んでました

履物屋さんと傘屋さんの

おばあちゃんは仲良しでした

それぞれの連れ合いに先立たれて

子どもたちも自立しました

おばあちゃんたちに残されたのは

客の少ないこの店だけ

それでも2人はしあわせでした

話し相手がそばにいたから

履物屋さんのおばあちゃんが

微笑みながら亡くなりました

傘屋さんのおばあちゃんも

後を追うように亡くなりました

それぞれの家族が片付けた時

店の奥を見て驚きました

履物屋さんの押し入れには

傘がいっぱいありました

傘屋さんの押し入れには

履物がいっぱいありました

お互いの店まで行ったり来たり

そう自分たちが客になってました

履物の数だけ 傘の数だけ

しあわせがそこにありました

しあわせがそこにありました

In a rural area near the train station

Two stores were next to each other

The footwear store and the umbrella store

The two grandmothers were good friends

Each of their husbands had passed away

Their children had moved out

All that were left to these grandmothers

Were these stores with only a few customers

Even then these two were very happy

Since they each had someone to talk to close by

The grandmother running the footwear store

Passed away with a gentle smile on her face

The grandmother running the umbrella store also

Passed away soon afterwards

When their respective family members went through their belongings

They were surprised when they saw what was at the back of their stores

In the closet of the footwear store

There were many umbrellas

In the closet of the umbrella store

There were many footwears

They had gone back and forth between each others' stores

Yes, the each had become the other's customer

As many as the pairs of shoes, as many as the number of umbrellas

They had their happiness there

They had their happiness there

生きてりゃいろいろと

つらいこともあるさ

心の荷を下ろし

ここらで一休み

我慢しなくていいんだよ

もう充分 頑張った

涙流して 弱音吐く

そんなこの夜

あああ 初酒

飲んでみようか

夢を肴に

酔って 酔ってみようか

誰かがそばにいる

やさしさ 身に沁みる

しあわせ ふしあわせ

合わせて人生さ

カッコ悪くていいんだよ

カッコつけてちゃ生きられぬ

馬鹿馬鹿しくもなるだろう

だから 笑おう

あああ 初酒

一杯やるか

明日のために

二人 二人でやるか

あああ 初酒

飲んでみようか

夢を肴に

酔って 酔ってみようか

二人 二人でやるか

Living through life, there's going to be many

Painful experiences too

Lowering the burdens of the heart

Take a little rest around here

You don't have to grin and bear it

You already worked hard enough

Crying and spitting out complaints

This night

Aaa first sake

Shall I take a drink

Using dreams to liven up the drinking atmosphere

Should I get drunk, drunk?

Someone is close to me

The kindness seeps into me

Happiness unhappiness

Together, they make up our lives

It's alright if you don't look good

We can't go through life just by trying to look good

Sometime we look foolish

So let's laugh out loud

Oh, first sake

Shall we drink a shot

For tomorrow

Both, both of us

Oh first sake

Shall we take a drink

Using dreams to liven up the drinking atmosphere

Should I get drunk, drunk?

Both, both of us
