The tidings you bring are, “I got married!”
The news you bring is, “My child was just born!”
Even if we’re far apart, we’ve lived through this same age
Where no matter the time, we can share even our happiness and sadness.
The city awakens, then sleeps. The people are kept waiting.
Will they feel the delight of those days in their dreams…?
From the newspapers and TV, we hear of sad events in far off cities.
It pains our hearts as we try to avoid it each day.
Being born in such a busy day and age,
We sing that, “Today is a wonderful day”,
We spend the time until tomorrow looking on idly,
As trains carry us to pre-determined destinations.
Tiny screens glitter in the palms of our hands.
Who’s that guy with the round face?
Each of us is standing next to a stranger,
Clinging to our own tiny lives.
I have things to report as well.
I send them back upon the wind that carried that familiar voice:
I’ve grown again as an adult.
I’m now together with someone precious to me.
The city awakens, then sleeps. The people are kept waiting.
Will they feel the delight of those days in their dreams…?
As long as we’re living, there’s happiness to be found.
Standing beside me, your smile is so bright!
Time flows on and on. The people are urged onward.
Will they feel the happiness of those days in their dreams…?
Again? Really, again?
It’s the same thing every time, are you stupid?
Still? Really, still?
Only your love will change this country!
Adults are fighting again on TV.
Are the kids supposed to look up to that?
They’ll be seeing through those lies before long,
So don’t be floored when your secret’s found out!
That’s why I’m wishing and waiting
For even more signs of relief.
Let’s put aside the hard feelings and hatred—
The important thing is to help each other out!
How long will it take us to see some hope?
When will we learn of true kindness?
Even I want to be kinder, stronger.
The world we have now isn’t the one I’m looking for!
As long as we’re living, there’s happiness to be found.
Standing beside me, your smile is so bright!
Time flows on and on. The people are urged onward.
Will they feel the happiness of those days in their dreams…?
