1989

Rowing the boat, getting wet
ふねをこいでぬれながら
fune wo koide nurenagara
I finally arrived in the city
ぼくはやっとまちにきた
boku wa yatto machi ni kita
Nice to meet you, how are you?
はじめましてこんにちは
hajimemashite konnichi wa
Who are you? Are you in a hurry?
きみはだれ？いそぐのかい
kimi wa dare? isogu no kai?

I was always lonely
ぼくはずっとこどくだった
boku wa zutto kodoku datta
I wanted to meet someone
あいたかっただれかに
aitakatta dareka ni
Nice to meet you, how are you?
はじめましてこんにちは
hajimemashite konnichi wa
What's so strange about it?
なにがそんなにおかしいの
nani ga sonna ni okashii no?

Just silently, I immerse myself
ただだまってしゃがみこんで
tada damatte shagamikonde
In this seemingly lonely town
たのしそうなまちにいる
tanashisou na machi ni iru
The hidden gift
かくしもったおくりもの
kakushimotta okurimono
I can't give it away, I take a breath
わたせないでいきをはく
watasenai de iki wo haku

Please catch this my song
Please catch this my song
Please catch this my song
To find a new self
あたらしいじぶんを
atarashii jibun wo
Please catch this my song
Please catch this my song
Please catch this my song
I came to search, I'm scared but
さがしにきたのさこわいけど
sagashi ni kita no sa kowai kedo

Alone, it's a lie
ひとりぼっちさびしさに
hitoribocchi sabishisa ni
To get used to loneliness
なれたなんてうそだよ
nareta nante uso da yo
The voice of my forgotten self
わすれそうなじぶんのこえ
wasuresou na jibun no koe
My throat is always dry
のどはずっとかえてる
nodo wa zutto kawaiteru

Please catch this my song
Please catch this my song
Please catch this my song
I want to be needed
ひつようとされたい
hitsuyou to saretai
Please catch this my song
Please catch this my song
Please catch this my song
Will I meet someone tomorrow?
あしたはだれかにあえるかな
ashita wa dareka ni aeru kana

Please catch this my song
Please catch this my song
Please catch this my song
So it reaches you
きみにとどくように
kimi ni todoku you ni
Please catch this my song
Please catch this my song
Please catch this my song
I was singing, 1989
うたっていたのさ 1989 (nineteen eighty-nine)
utatteita no sa 1989 (nineteen eighty-nine)

Rowing the boat, getting wet, I finally arrived in the city
ふねをこいでぬれながらぼくはやっとまちにきた
fune wo koide nurenagara boku wa yatto machi ni kita
Now I'm wet, I finally came here
いまになってぬれながらぼくはやっとここにきた
ima ni natte nurenagara boku wa yatto koko ni kita
