Ikimonogakari - Good Morning

Neboketa mama no atashi wo taiyou ga mata sekashite iru
Mogurikonda futon no naka anata wo omoidashiteta
Wakatterun datteba ugokidaseba hodokeru pazuru
Kaaten wo akete shimaou kyou ga hajimaru yo

Kakko warui mainichi ni kujikesou ni naru kedo
Ano koro no futari ni sou mune wo hareru you ni

Sayonara wo dakishimete atashi mata waraun da
Hoshi no nai Tokyo ni mo hora mata asa ga kita
Taisetsu na koto bakari sore demo ne machikirenai
Dakara koso anata ni wa tsutaetai yo egao de good morning

Anata ga kureta daiarii tamani saboru kedo kaiteru yo
Bukiyou demo tsugi no mirai wo mekutte ikun da

Mezashite ita “akogare” chikazukete iru kana
Unazukisou ni natte kubi futte kyou mo ie wo deta

Sabishisa mo oikoshite atashi mata utaun da
Hoshi mau Tokyo ni mo hora mata asa ga kuru
Kanaetai koto bakari sore demo ne egakikirenai
Dakara koso anata ni wa tsutaetai yo egao de good morning

Dkoka de anata mo ganbatte irun da ne
Daijoubu da yo chanto wakatte iru yo
Makesou ni nattara itsumo omoidasu anata to no yakusoku

Sayonara wo dakishimete atashi mata waraun da
Chippoke na atashi ni mo hora mata asa ga kita
Taisetsu na koto bakari sore demo ne aruiteku
Dakara koso anata ni wa tsutaetai yo egao de good morning

TRANSLATION

The sun prods me out of my sleepy daze once again
Lying under the covers of my futon, I thought of you
I know already, if I get moving I’ll be able to solve the puzzle
I’ll open the curtains, the day is beginning

In these clumsy days, I feel like giving up
But I pray, yeah, that I can hold my head high like we did then

I’ll embrace goodbye and smile again
Even in this starless Tokyo, see, morning has come again
So many precious things, but I can’t wait
And that’s why I want to say good morning to you with a smile

I write in the diary you gave me, though I slack off sometimes
I flick, albeit clumsily, through the future to come

Am I getting close to the aspirations I set my sights on?
I was about to nod, then shook my head, and left the house once again today

I’ll leave the loneliness behind and sing again
Even in this starry Tokyo, see, tomorrow will come
So many dreams and wishes, but I can’t draw them all
And that’s why I want to say good morning to you with a smile

You’re doing your best somewhere too, aren’t you?
It’s OK, I understand completely
When I’m about to give up, I always remember my promise to you

I’ll embrace goodbye and smile again
Even to this tiny girl, see, morning has come again
So many precious things, but I can’t wait
And that’s why I want to say good morning to you with a smile
