Hajime No Oto

The First Sound

Hajime No Oto

What was the first sound like?Hajimete no oto wa nandeshita ka?
Your first sound was...Anata no hajimete no oto wa...
To me, this is itWatashi nitotte wa kore ga sou
So now I’m feeling happyDakara ima ureshikute

What were the first words like?Hajimete no kotoba wa nandeshita ka?
Your first wordsAnata no hajimete no kotoba
I can’t say wordsWatashi wa kotoba tte ienai
So I’m singing like thisDakara koushite utatteimasu

Soon the day will pass, the years will goYagate hi ga sugi toshi ga sugi
Even if the world fades awaySekai ga iroasete mo
As long as you give me lightAnata ga kureru akari sae areba
I’ll always singItsudemo watashi wa utau kara

The color of the sky, the scent of the windSora no iro mo kaze no nioi mo
The depth of the sea, your voice tooUmi no fukasa mo anata no koe mo
I don’t know, but I’ll singWatashi wa shiranai dakedo uta o
I’ll sing, just raising my voiceUta o utau tada koe o agete

If something reaches youNanika anata ni todoku no nara
No matter how many timesNandodemo nandodatte
It won’t change, just like back thenKawaranai wa ano toki no mama
Just like the first sound...Hajimete no oto no mama...

Was there a first sound?Hajimete no oto wa arimashita ka?
Your first sound was...Anata no hajimete no oto wa...
Excited by unknown songs or city sounds?Shiranai kyoku toka machi no oto ni
Are you feeling thrilled?Wakuwaku shite masu ka?

Were there first words?Hajimete no kotoba wa arimashita ka?
Your first wordsAnata no hajimete no kotoba
I couldn’t say them, didn’t speakIezu ni shimattari iwanakatta
Words seem a bit lonelyKotoba wa sukoshi samishisou

Soon the day will pass, the years will goYagate hi ga sugi toshi ga sugi
Old baggage will pile upFurui nimotsu mo fuete
Even if you changeAnata ga kawatte mo
The things I don’t want to loseNakushitakunai mono wa
Please keep them with meWatashi ni azukete ne

The flow of time, the pain of scarsToki no nagare mo kizu no itami mo
The depth of love, your voice tooAi no fukasa mo anata no koe mo
I don’t know, but I’ll singWatashi wa shiranai dakedo uta wa
I’ll sing, so please listenUta wa utaeru wa dakara kiite

If you wish for somethingMoshimo anata ga nozomu no nara
No matter how many timesNandodemo nandodatte
It won’t change, just like back thenKawaranai wa ano toki no mama
Just like the first sound...Hajimete no oto no mama...

The color of the sky, the scent of the windSora no iro mo kaze no nioi mo
The depth of the sea, my song tooUmi no fukasa mo watashi no uta mo
It won’t change, just like back thenKawaranai wa ano toki no mama
Just like the first sound...Hajimete no oto no mama...

Have you gotten used to the first sound?Hajimete no oto ni naremashita ka?
To your first soundAnata no hajimete no oto ni

Wherever in the world, I’ll singSekai no dokodemo watashi wa utau
Each of our first sounds...Sorezore no hajimete no oto o...
