Chanrika Lyrics Translation – Yuta
Yuta describes a parent’s quiet strength. The lyrics mention a warm fragrance filling the room from the cutting board. He recalls seeing a frail frame with a large back. The artist promises, ‘From now on, I will walk beside you.’
Nijuuniji hiraku tobiraThe door opens at ten at night,
Tsukare mo misezu warauand you smile without showing your fatigue.
Sore ga anata no tsuyosa da toThat this was your true strength,
Boku wa wakatte ita?did I even understand it back then?
Ikitsuku ma mo naku mukau manaitaWithout a moment to breathe, you head for the cutting board,
Atatakai kaori afuretafilling the room with a warm fragrance.
Kabe no usui ie no domannakaRight in the middle of our thin-walled house,
Kyasha dakedo ookina ushirosugatayour back looked so large despite your frail frame.
Homerareru tame ja nakuYou didn’t do it to be praised,
Tada hitorikiri mae susunde kuretetayou just kept moving forward all by yourself.
Jaa kore kara wa boku gaWell, from now on, I’m the one
Narande aruite yukouwho’ll walk right beside you.
Anata no warau kao o motto mite itai kedoI want to see your smiling face so much more,
Kagiri aru jikan no naka de iezu ni futa o shitetabut in our limited time, I kept my feelings bottled up.
Tsunoritsuzukete iku omoi oThese feelings keep growing stronger,
Kyou dake wa sunao ni tsutaetaiand just for today, I want to honestly tell you.
“Arigatou” no hitokoto dake de waJust the single word “thank you”
Arikitari sugiru kamo shirenai namight be far too ordinary to say.
Sore demo naze da ka anata waEven so, for some reason, I feel like
Unazuite kureru ki ga shite irun dayou’d just nod and understand me.
Hetakuso demo ii karaEven if I’m clumsy at expressing it,
Todokeyou boku oI’ll make sure my heart reaches you.
Anata no ganbarisugi na senaka ga kirai dattaI used to hate seeing your back working far too hard.
Ima nara sono riyuu ga sukoshi wakaru ki ga surun daNow, I feel like I finally understand why you did it.
Wagamama de hinekurete itaI was so selfish and rebellious,
Sore demo koko made sodatete kuretabut you still raised me to be who I am today.
Homerareru tame ja nakuYou didn’t do it to be praised,
Tada hitorikiri mae susunde kuretetayou just kept moving forward all by yourself.
Jaa kore kara wa boku gaWell, from now on, I’m the one
Narande aruite yukouwho’ll walk right beside you.
