Why don't you challenge what you don't always do?
Why not dare to try what you seldom do?
Now, an unexpected collaborator may appear
Now, an unexpected collaborator may appear
The lucky point is the bus
The fortunate stop is the bus.
Have a nice day (okay)
Have a nice day (okay)
もう少しだけ もう少しだけ
Just a little more, just a little more.
踏み出せたのなら
If I could take a step forward
そう小さな優しさを
Such a small kindness
分け合えたのなら
If we could share it
ありふれた一日が
An ordinary day
素敵な日になっていくほら
Look, it's turning into a wonderful day.
そうやって何度でも
In that way, again and again
喜びはめぐる
Joy circles around
慌ただしく過ぎる朝に
In the hurried passing of the morning
いつも通り過ぎる朝に
In the morning that always slips by
頼まれたお使いと予定を照らす
Illuminating errands and plans that were requested
君が教えてくれた
You taught me
あてにしてない占いの言葉
The words of a fortune I don't believe in
「いつもしないことを」だって
Saying 'to do something I never do'
そんなことを頭の隅に置いたまま
With such thoughts tucked away in the corner of my mind
いつもの今日へ
I return to the usual today
もう少しだけ もう少しだけ
Just a little more, just a little more
踏み出せたのなら
If I could have taken a step forward
もう少しだけ あと少しだけ
Just a little more, just a bit more
優しくなれたのなら
If I could have been more gentle
ありふれた一日も
Even an ordinary day
素敵な日になっていくような
Could turn into a wonderful one
そんな気がしたんだ
I felt that way
今喜びはめぐる
Now joy flows around me
暗いニュースが流れる朝に
On a morning when dark news spreads
気持ちが沈んでいく朝に
On a morning when my spirits sink
自分は「いらない」存在?
Am I an unnecessary existence?
なんて考える朝に
On a morning when I ponder such thoughts,
あなたのことを思い出したんだ
I remembered you,
あなたに会いたくなったんだ
I longed to see you,
久しぶりに会いに行くよ
I'm going to visit you after a long time,
今すぐに
Right now,
待ちに待ったそんな朝に
On such a long-awaited morning,
想いを馳せる日の朝に
On the morning of a day filled with thoughts,
いつもよりも早く家を出る
I leave home earlier than usual,
不意に触れた誰かの優しさが
The sudden touch of someone’s kindness.
私の優しさに変わったんだ
It has transformed into my kindness.
ほら 喜びはめぐる
Look, joy goes around.
もう少しだけ もう少しだけ
Just a little more, just a little more.
踏み出せたことが
The fact that I could step forward,
もう少しだけ ほんの少しだけ
Just a little more, just a tiny bit more,
優しくなれたことが
The fact that I could be gentle,
ありふれた一日を
An ordinary day,
特別な一日にほら
Look, it surely has turned into a special day,
変えてくれたんだきっと
It has changed for sure.
今日も
Today too,
あなたから私へと
From you to me
想いが伝わる
Thoughts are conveyed
そう僕から君にほら
See, from me to you
喜びが広がる
Joy spreads wide
ありふれた毎日から
From an ordinary day
踏み出した優しさが今
The kindness we stepped into now
誰かに届いてきっと
Will surely reach someone
めぐり続けるんだずっと
It continues to cycle on and on
どこまでも
To the ends of the earth
今日もどこかであなたが
Somewhere today, you are
今を生きるあなたがただ
May you, who live in the present,
小さな幸せを
find just a little happiness,
見つけられますように
I hope.
