笑顔 (Egao) – Smile
from Yume single.
——
“Hello Hello”, on that road leading home, where we chased after the flowing clouds
That light which shone gently on our faces, does it shine where you are?
“Hello Hello”, reflected on the water surface where we played and chased small fish
That light which shone gently on our smiles, does it shine where you are?
In this city where I was born, there are people I’ve met
People who have taught me all of the most important things
The sun’s warmth gently surrounding me
The swaying time shining on my heart
That day, I run about with friends, smiling, sometimes crying
Those days become part of me, perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
“Hello Hello”, the place we discovered that day as a comfortable breeze blew
At the end of the byway, a place that belongs to just us, is it still there now?
In that city, the people around me were always smiling
“Take care, bon voyage” as they sent me off with smiles
The sun’s warmth gently surrounding me
Always unchanging scenery, smile! Smile! Smile!
The dirt and wind grasped in that tiny palm that day
Become part of me now, perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
From that slope where the sea is visible, the city below us appeared tiny
Just the comfortable breeze and lots of smiles
Surely that is happiness
Surely it’ll always be there
As long as there’s you and the sun’s warmth
That’s surely where I’ll return to
If I grow tired and stop, and forget those smiling faces
You’re always there waiting, tomorrow and the day after too
A place where I can say “I’m home!”, what will we talk about next?
Thinking about that, I walk on again
If there’s so much baggage, just throw it, forget it
As long as there’s one important thing right here, that’s enough
The sun’s warmth, the smiles, the sea and mountains with you
All quietly whispered to me, perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Lalala, both hands full of words of “thank you”
Lalala, wait a little, until the time I return
Always the sun’s warmth there
