Makin’ A Life Lyrics English Translation by Keishi Tanaka | Riddim Saunter

Keishi Tanaka sings about adding color to life, one breath at a time. A standout line, ‘Blossom now, we’re makin’ a life, I like it, woo,’ highlights the joy of creating something meaningful. The lyricist uses the imagery of a parade and indigo skies to describe the beauty of everyday moments.

Saite yo makin’ a life I like it wooBlossom now, we’re makin’ a life, I like it, woo.
Irozuite nando mo seize the lifeAdding color again and again, we seize the life.
Iki o shite mata kimi ni ai ni ikeruI take a breath, and I can go see you again.
Take it slowTake it slow.
Konya dake no oto ga ai o egaite itan daThe sound of just tonight was painting a picture of love.
Kiete shimaeba hibi no you niWhen it fades away, just like every other day,
Kumo o fukinukete ikuit blows away through the clouds.
Aiiro no makin’ a life I like it wooAn ‘indigo-colored’ makin’ a life, I like it, woo.
Akete iku naite mo seize the lifeEven if you cry as a new day dawns, seize the life.
Afuredashite makafushigi na kaze ni naruIt overflows and becomes a mysterious wind.
Take it slowTake it slow.
Tooku tabishita kotoba ai o egaite itan daThe words that traveled so far were painting a picture of love.
Kiete shimaeba hibi no you niWhen it fades away, just like every other day,
Kumo o fukinukete ikuit blows away through the clouds.
Parade wa satta it’s overThe parade has passed, it’s over.
Ato no kurashi o irodoriAdding color to the life that comes after.
We’re makin’ a lifeWe’re makin’ a life.
Take it slowTake it slow.
Konya dake no oto ga ai o egaite itan daThe sound of just tonight was painting a picture of love.
Kiete shimaeba hibi no you niWhen it fades away, just like every other day,
Kumo o fukinukete ikuit blows away through the clouds.
Aratana hikari e wooTowards a new light, woo.
Matataku kibou wa hibi no you niA twinkling hope, just like these passing days.
We’re makin’ a lifeWe’re makin’ a life.
Wasure wa shinai sa hibi no you niI’ll never forget it, just like these passing days.
We’re makin’ a lifeWe’re makin’ a life.
Subarashii hibi daThese are such wonderful days.
