花びらみたいな ほほ笑み浮かべ

心に明かりを 灯すやつ

あなたと出逢えて よかったと

胸に甘える いじらしさ

俺に咲く花 泣かせるやつだよ

支えてやらなきゃ 倒れるような

夜風に揺れてる 白い花

涙を見せない 意地っ張り

わざとはしゃいで ついてくる

俺に咲く花 散らしはしないよ

倖せはぐれの 似たもの同士

小さな夢見て 肩よせる

つまずきばかりの 人生も

待てば陽もさす 春も来る

俺に咲く花 愛しいやつだよ

Hanabira mitaina hohoemi ukabe
Kokoroni akariwo tomosu yatsu
Anatato deaete yokattato
Muneni amaeru ijirashisa
Oreni saku hana nakaseru yatsudayo

Sasaete yaranakya taoreru yōna
Yokazeni yureteru shiroi hana
Namidawo misenai ijippari
Wazato hashaide tsuite kuru
Oreni saku hana chirashiwa shinaiyo

Shiawase hagureno nitamono dōshi
Chi'isana yume mite kata yoseru
Tsumazuki bakarino jinseimo
Mateba himo sasu harumo kuru

Oreni saku hana itoshi'i yatsudayo

With a smile like a petal of a flower

You illuminate light on my heart

I'm glad I met you so saying

You fawn on to my chest that loveliness

The flower which blooms to me, you make me cry

You feel like you would fall over if I don't support you

The white flower which wavers in the night wind

Your stubbornness not showing your tears

You deliberately prance around and come after me

The flower which blooms to me I won't let you fall

We are similar not having known happiness

We share small dreams and lean on each other

Even in our lives where we stumbled often

If we wait the sun will shine and spring will come

The flower which blooms to me, you are so lovely

水いろ手袋 頬寄せて

遠いふるさと しのびます

冬に命の 根を伸ばす

庭に咲いてた 白い花

心こごえて しばれても

母の花です ふるさと忍冬(すいかずら)

不倖に負けずに 嘆かずに

強く優しく 生きてゆく

いつか一緒に 倖せに

蕾ふくらむ 春を待つ

心こごえて しばれても

命よせあう ふるさと忍冬

「愛の絆」が花言葉

熱いぬくもり 忘れない

いつも笑顔で いたならば

きっといい日が やってくる

心こごえて しばれても

母の花です ふるさと忍冬

Mizuiro tebukuro hoho yosete

Placing the light blue colored gloves close to the cheeks

I recall the distant home town

Stretching the root of life in winter

The white flower which bloomed in the garden

Even if my heart is chilled I shiver

The hometown honeysuckle is my mother's flower

Not losing to the unhappiness not mourning

I will live my life strongly and kindly

One day we will be together and be happy

Waiting for the spring when the flower bud will bloom

Even if my heart is chilled I shiver

Our lives we bring close, hometown honeysuckle

It means "the bonds of love" in the language of flowers

I won't forget the passionate warmth

If we had always been smiling

One day the good days will be here

Even if my heart is chilled I shiver

The hometown honeysuckle is my mother's flower

Maki Kotomi(真木ことみ)

Maki Kotomi(真木ことみ)  grew up singing from an early age. The first song she sang was Ishikawa Sayuri's "The Wintry Scenery of Tsugaru Strait(津軽海峡冬景色 Tsugarukaikyō Fuyugeshiki)."

She first entered singing contests after starting high school and won numerous awards.

She made her professional debut in 1991 with the single "The Melancholic Dōshi River (哀愁の道志川 Aishū no Dōshigawa)." From the start, the professional baseball player Nakahata Kiyoshi(中畑清) has been a huge fan of her.

She had arteriovenous fistula in her left leg and walked using a crutch when started singing. She had a surgery in May of 1992 to amputate the lower left portion of her leg and now walks around with a prosthetic left leg.
