Namida no Tane, Egao no Hana

Seed of Tears, Flower of Smiles

Namida no Tane, Egao no Hana

In this heart, that day you planted
このむねにあの日きみがまいた
kono mune ni ano hi kimi ga maita
A small seed of tears
ちいさななみだのたね
chiisana namida no tane
Someday, a big flower of smiles
いつかおおきなえがおのはな
itsuka ookina egao no hana
Will bloom until that day
さかせるそのひまで
sakaseru sono hi made

In the midst of busy days
めまぐるしいまいにちのなかでも
memagurushii mainichi no naka demo
Sometimes, unexpectedly, I rewind
ときどきふいにまきもどしてる
tokidoki fui ni maki modoshiteru
If only I could be with you forever
あのさきもずっときみといられたら
ano saki mo zutto kimi toiraretara
In that uncertain future
もしものみらい
moshimo no mirai

No matter where you are
どこにもいないすがたを
doko ni moinai sugata wo
No matter where I am, I still feel
どこにいてもかんじたまま
doko ni itemo kanjita mama
Today, under the same sky
きょうもおなじそらのしたで
kyou mo onaji sora no shita de
I head towards tomorrow
あしたへとむかうよ
ashita he to mukau yo

Repeating words
くりかえすことばは
kurikaesu kotoba wa
As if melting my heart
そうまるでこころをとかすように
sou marude kokoro wo tokasu youni
I now speak
ぼくにいまかたりかけるんだ
boku ni ima katarikakerunda
With that beloved voice
いとしいそのこえで
itoshii sono koe de

In this heart, that day you planted
このむねにあの日きみがまいた
kono mune ni ano hi kimi ga maita
A small seed of tears
ちいさななみだのたね
chiisana namida no tane
Someday, a big flower of smiles
いつかおおきなえがおのはな
itsuka ookina egao no hana
Will bloom until that day
さかせるそのひまで
sakaseru sono hi made

Because you're here
ここにいるから
koko ni iru kara

Probably nothing special
たぶんとくべつなことではなくて
tabun tokubetsu na koto de wa nakute
Eventually, everyone will understand its meaning
やがてだれもがそのいみをしる
yagate dare mo ga sono imi wo shiru
In the red, burning gap of the clouds
あかくもえつきるくものきれまには
akaku moetsukiru kumo no kirema ni wa
The stars twinkle
ほしがまばたく
hoshi ga mabataku

Where are those eyes now?
そのひとみはいまどこで
sono hitomi wa ima doko de
What kind of scenery are they seeing?
どんなけしきをみてるの
donna keshiki wo miteru no
The season I loved
きみがすきだったきせつが
kimi ga suki datta kisetsu ga
Will come around again
まためぐってくるよ
mata megutte kuru yo

The fragments of you I embraced
だきしめたきみのかけらたちは
dakishimeta kimi no kakera tachi wa
Remain unchanged
なにもかわらないまま
nani mo kawara nai mama
I will keep telling
なんどでもかたりかけるんだ
nan do demo katarikakerun da
With that beloved voice
いとしいそのこえで
itoshii sono koe de

I won't forget that day you planted
わすれないあの日きみがまいた
wasure nai ano hi kimi ga maita
A small seed of tears
ちいさななみだのたね
chiisana namida no tane
Someday, a big flower of smiles
いつかおおきなえがおのはな
itsuka ookina egao no hana
Will bloom until that day
さかせるそのひまで
sakaseru sono hi made

Because you're here
ここにいるから
koko ni iru kara

Morning, noon, night
あさもひるもよるも
asa mo hiru mo yoru mo
While searching, while hesitating
みつけながらまよいながら
mitsuke nagara mayoi nagara
We hurry to the promised place
ぼくらはやくそくのばしょへいそぐ
bokura wa yakusoku no basho he isogu

Repeating words
くりかえすことばは
kurikaesu kotoba wa
As if melting my heart
そうまるでこころをとかすように
sou marude kokoro wo tokasu youni
I now speak
ぼくにいまかたりかけるんだ
boku ni ima katarikakerunda
With that beloved voice
いとしいそのこえで
itoshii sono koe de

In this heart, that day you planted
このむねにあの日きみがまいた
kono mune ni ano hi kimi ga maita
A small seed of tears
ちいさななみだのたね
chiisana namida no tane
Finally, a big flower of smiles
やっとおおきなえがおのはな
yatto ookina egao no hana
Hey, it bloomed
ねえさかせたんだ
nee sakase tan da
Surely, forever
きっといつまでも
kitto itsu mademo

Because you're here
ここにいるから
koko ni iru kara
