Happy Nante Lyrics Translation – Just Punk Rock! Soundtrack
The poet Shinohara mixes playful advice with relatable scenes, like turning palms toward the sun or singing in the rain. A standout line, ‘Happiness is just rolling around, absolutely everywhere,’ reminds us to find joy in the small things. The songwriter’s words make the ordinary feel extraordinary.
Jibun dake fushiawase da nanteThinking you’re the only unhappy one,
Sonna no anmari fukouhei darothat’s just a bit too unfair, right?
Happii nante sokora juujuu niHappiness is just rolling around,
