Motto fuwatto shita koe deWith a softer, more airy voice,
Gyutto kokoro tsukamaetegrab hold of my heart tightly.
Nantomo naku konashiteruYou’re getting through it all so easily;
Ano senaka wo miteI’m watching your back as you go.
Hataraku to narutoWhen it’s time to get to work,
Karamawaru boku deI’m just spinning my wheels.
Hara kara no koe toBetween the voice from my gut
Barabara no temotoand my clumsy, uncoordinated hands.
Madogarasu goshi noThrough the window glass,
Korekara no asu woI see the tomorrow that’s coming.
Manabazu ni susumu noAm I moving forward without learning?
Korobazu ni hashiru noAm I running without even tripping?
Nai naIt’s not there.
