軽いお辞儀と自己紹介で
With a light bow and a self-introduction,
もうわかってしまったの
I've already figured it all out,
この人と添い遂げること
It's to be with this person forever.
互いの身の上話に始まり
Starting with tales of our lives,
始まりはよく覚えてない
I don’t quite remember how it began.
一晩じゃ終わらない
One night isn’t enough to end it,
不気味にとめどなき
Something ominous and unending,
何かが溢れだし
Begins to overflow,
長いと思ってた人生 急に短い
What I thought was a long life suddenly feels short,
今日が人生の最後の日でも
Even if today is the last day of my life,
五十年後でも あなたに出会えて
Even if it's fifty years later, I met you
誰よりも幸せだったと
I was happier than anyone else
嫉妬されるべき人生だったと
It was a life that deserved to be envied
今日が人生の最後の日でも
Even if today is the last day of my life
五十年後でも あなたに出会えて
Even if it's fifty years later, I met you
誰よりも幸せだったと
I was happier than anyone else
嫉妬されるべき人生だったと
It was a life that deserved to be envied
言えるよ
I can say that
どんなに謙遜したとこで
No matter how much I downplay it
嫉妬されるべき人生だったと
It was a life that deserved to be envied
人の期待に応えるだけの
No longer will I live just to meet people's expectations,
生き方はもうやめる
I've decided to stop that way of life.
母の遺影に供える花を
As I change the flowers I place at my mother's photo,
替えながら思う
I think about the time when I'm left behind by you.
あなたに先立たれたら
If you were to leave this world before me,
あなたに操を立てる
I would dedicate my loyalty to you.
私が先に死んだら
If I die before you do,
今際の果てで微笑む
I will smile at the end of my days.
今日が人生の最初の日だよ
Today is the very first day of my life,
五十年後でも あなたを見つめて
Even fifty years from now, I'll be gazing at you.
誰よりも幸せですと
I’m happier than anyone else,
嫉妬されるべき人生でしたと
It was a life that should be envied,
言えるよ
I can say that,
どんなに謙遜したとこで
No matter how much I humble myself,
嫉妬されるべき人生だったと
It was a life that should be envied,
言えるよ
I can say that,
どんなにどんなに謙遜したって
No matter how, no matter how I humble myself,
嫉妬されるべき人生でしたと
It was a life that should be envied.
