ubugoe Meaning & Lyrics (Chihiro Mori)
MORI CHIHIRO drafts poetic lines that speak directly to a fading memory. The poet writes, ‘I can’t hear the sound of the rain anymore,’ describing the quiet emptiness of loss. He uses images of the sea and the sun’s comforting scent to talk about finding peace.
Hello fukaku nemutte iru kokoro niHello to the heart that’s sleeping so deeply,
Umi no naka kakurete inai de yoplease don’t hide away in the sea.
Hello tooku hanarete shimatta basho eHello to the place that has drifted far away,
Ame no oto mou kikoenai yoI can’t hear the sound of the rain anymore.
Moshikashitara nante nai kara saThere’s no room for ‘maybes’ anymore,
Boku o dokoka e tsuretette yoso take me away somewhere.
Kawaii kodomo mitai niLike an innocent child,
Hajimemashite oboete wa inai deshouI’ll say, ‘Nice to meet you,’ though you probably don’t remember.
Itsuka wa boku mo sayonaraSomeday, I’ll say my own goodbye.
Ohisama no nioiIt’s the comforting scent of the sun.
Hello totsuzen sabishiku nanka naranaiHello, I won’t suddenly feel so lonely.
Kimi no uta boku mo utaeru yoI can sing your song too.
Itsuka wa kitto yatte kuruThat final day will definitely arrive,
Yasashii uso wa tsukanai de yoso please don’t tell me gentle lies.
Moroi mahou mitai niJust like a fragile magic spell,
Hajimemashite obienakute iinda yoI’ll say, ‘Nice to meet you,’ and you don’t need to be afraid.
Itsuka wa boku mo sayonaraSomeday, I’ll say my own goodbye,
Mabushii sekaito this dazzling world.
Hajimemashite oboete wa inai deshouI’ll say, ‘Nice to meet you,’ though you probably don’t remember.
Itsuka wa boku mo sayonaraSomeday, I’ll say my own goodbye.
Ohisama no nioiIt’s the comforting scent of the sun.
