Yorushika brings a poetic touch to ‘Sunny’ from their album ‘second person.’ The lyrics writer, n-buna, pens a heartfelt story, while Hideyuki Matsuhashi composes the melody. Together, they mix spring imagery with introspective questions about emotions and nature.

Sunny Lyrics Translation Yorushika | second person
The songwriter mentions ‘biidoro’ glass to describe delicate eyes, and talks about rain and flowers blooming as metaphors for change. The line ‘Let the sound beating in my chest echo’ shows how emotions and music are deeply connected.
Anata wa kaze no you niYou’re just like the wind.
Me o tojite wa yuugureWhen you close your eyes, it’s twilight.
Nani o omotte irun darou kaI wonder what you’re thinking about?
Mabuta o hiraite itaYou’ve opened your eyelids.
Anata no me wa biidoroYour eyes are like ‘biidoro’ glass.
Sukoshi dake hareru no nioi ga shitaI caught a faint scent of the sky clearing up.
Hare ni hare, hana yo sakeClear up, oh clear up; flowers, bloom.
Saite hareru no seiBloom because the sky’s clearing.
Furiyameba ame de saeOnce it stops, even the rain,
Anata o kazaru haruis a spring that adorns you.
Mune o utsu oto yo hibikeLet the sound beating in my chest echo.

Tooku made tooku madefar and away, far and away.
