Many Happy Returns – CHAGE

from Many Happy Returns album.

——

Woo Woo Today too, the weather’s nice
Woo Woo Tomorrow too, it’ll be even better

When nothing interesting happens in the morning, let’s start with a beer!
And then, let’s go in search for something warmer

Fragrances from the bakery, the crybaby from next door
Flowers blooming in the alley

Barked at by a wolfhound, I beat a quick retreat
Avoiding a falling flowerpot at the same time, that was lucky

“I’m sorry”, and I looked up at the balcony
That girl, the town belle waiting in my dreams

Swaying in the train, I took a nap
And before I knew it, it’s Waikiki, my heart says “Aloha”

Such happiness, let’s share it with everyone
I mean, this is just Many Many Happy Returns

Woo Woo Today too, the weather’s nice
Woo Woo Tomorrow too, it’ll be even better

Even on stormy days, with just one umbrella
Sharing it with my beloved you makes it happy and fun

I’ll think about yesterday’s misses two days later
By then, things will probably be going well

Delicious meals make me smile
When I’m depressed, I eat some Loco Moco and listen to the waves’ serenade

This happiness, granted to me by everyone
Makes me want to dance, Many Many Happy Returns

I mean, this is just Many Many Happy Returns
I feel so loved, Many Many Happy Returns
Just sing a song, Many Many Happy Returns

The summer is spreading rumors about you
Just like a pinball, unable to go in
My light brown tan is all your fault
Shall we try to forget the windless city?
Passion blue in our eyes
In the moment of our chance meeting
We can surely be reborn
Burn, burn, summer thief

Summer, summer, summer, summer, this is summer
Love, love, love, love, land of love
Our dreams will come true
Summer, summer, summer, summer, this is summer
Love, love, love, love, land of love
Fly, this is summer

If you invite me to a deserted beach
I’ll leave everything beneath my swimsuit to you
Receive the words of the hot waves
The time when our hands can reach the sun is finally here
Blow, Southern wind
With precious heartthrobs
Summer has taught me
I want to let you hear the echoes of love

Love Love love love Love Me Do
You You you you Sexy and gentle
Our dreams will come true
Love Love love love Love Me Do
You You you you Sexy and gentle
Fly, this is summer

Summer, summer, summer, summer, this is summer
Love, love, love, love, land of love
Our dreams will come true
Summer, summer, summer, summer, this is summer
Love, love, love, love, land of love
Fly, this is summer

I never cry
Riding in a fast car
Doing sudden spins
Around darkened street corners, but I wasn’t afraid
My red scarf fluttered
As I watched with a feeling of wonder
But crying felt wrong to me

I never cry
In the middle of a cold night
I passed by various people
Receiving and returning flying kisses
And as I changed my friends
The only thing multiplying are my memories
But crying felt wrong to me

Tears are not for decoration HA HAN
Things like “I love you” are not to be said HO HO
Tears are not pearls HA HAN
But it’ll be nice if they are beautiful
Tears are just too sorrowful HO HO HO…

I never cry
Never had a true love
In front of others or alone
I’ve always hidden the tears at the backs of my eyes
Someday, when I meet my love
When my world changes
I feel that I may just cry
I feel that I will definitely cry

Tears are not for decoration HA HAN
Things like “I love you” are not to be said HO HO
Tears are not pearls HA HAN
But it’ll be nice if they are beautiful
Tears are just too sorrowful

Tears are not for decoration HA HAN
But it’ll be nice if they are sparkly HO HO
Tears are not diamonds HA HAN
But it’ll be nice to be lonely
Tears are just too sorrowful

La la la…
