More songs by Mrs. GREEN APPLE
Description
Like the morning air after a long winter, this song has both transparency and aching warmth. It sounds as if someone is confessing aloud: yes, it can be scary, yes, it can be painful and sometimes lonely, but that's no reason to stop walking, loving, and breathing. Here, joy coexists with loss, and fragile moments with small miracles that don't always return but always leave a mark.
This melody is about how people with different stories are equally arranged: how important it is to remember to fly, even when your wings are clipped by adulthood. About how running across snow-covered ground or crying into your pillow are both part of life, and in both cases, it's also “what a wonderful life today.”
Lyrics and translation
Original
僕と君とでは何が違う？
おんなじ生き物さ 分かってる
でもね、僕は何かに怯えている
みんなもそうならいいな
がむしゃらに生きて誰が笑う？
悲しみきるには早すぎる
いつも僕は自分に言い聞かせる
明日もあるしね
ああ なんて素敵な日だ
幸せと思える今日も
夢敗れ挫ける今日も
ああ 諦めず足宛いている
狭い広い世界で
奇跡を唄う
僕らは知っている
空への飛び方も
大人になるにつれ忘れる
限りある永遠も
治りきらない傷も
全て僕のこと
今日という僕のこと
得ては失う日々 意味はある？
伝わることのない想いもある
だから僕は時々寂しくなる
みんなもそうなら
少しは楽かな
僕だけじゃないと
思えるかな
ああ なんて素敵な日だ
誰かを好きでいる今日も
頬濡らし眠れる今日も
ああ 嘆くにはほど遠い
狭い広い世界で
僕らは唄う
冬に咲く花に
命が芽吹くよ
駆けるは 雪の大地
青すぎた春を
忘れずに居たいと
語るは 友との地図
駆けるは 人の旅路
僕らは知っている
奇跡は死んでいる
努力も孤独も
報われないことがある
だけどね
それでもね
今日まで歩いてきた
日々を人は呼ぶ
それがね、軌跡だと
ああ なんて素敵な日だ
幸せに悩める今日も
ボロボロになれている今日も
ああ 息をして足宛いている
全て僕のこと
あの日の僕らのこと
僕と君とでは何が違う？
それぞれ見てきた景色がある
僕は僕として、いまを生きてゆく
とても愛しい事だ
English translation
What's the difference between me and you?
We're all the same creatures, I know.
But, I'm scared of something
It would be nice if everyone was like that too
Who will laugh if you live your life to the fullest?
It's too early to be sad
I always tell myself
There's tomorrow too.
Oh what a wonderful day
Even today I feel happy
Even today, my dreams are defeated and I give up.
Ah, I'm not giving up and I'm putting my foot down
In a narrow wide world
sing a miracle
we know
How to fly to the sky
forget as you grow up
Even a limited eternity
Even wounds that can't be healed
It's all about me
About me today
Is there any meaning in the days of gaining and losing?
There are feelings that can't be conveyed
That's why I feel lonely sometimes
If everyone is like that too
I guess it's a little easier
I have to be the only one
Can you think of it?
Oh what a wonderful day
Even today when I love someone
Today I can sleep with my cheeks wet
Oh, I'm far from crying
In a narrow wide world
we sing
Flowers that bloom in winter
Life will sprout
Running through the snowy land
A spring that was too blue
I want to stay without forgetting
Talking about maps with friends
Running is a person's journey
we know
miracle is dead
Effort and loneliness
Sometimes it doesn't pay off
However,
Still.
I've been walking until today
People call the days
That's the trajectory.
Oh what a wonderful day
Even today I worry about happiness
Even today, even though I'm in tatters
Ah, I'm breathing and touching my feet
It's all about me
About us that day
What's the difference between me and you?
Each has their own scenery
I will live my life as myself
It's so lovely
