夢ã«ã¾ã§è¦‹ãŸã“ã®ç”Ÿæ´»ã«ãªã‚Œã¦ããŸ
今ã¯ã“ã†æ€ã†
Now I’m living the life I dreamed of
ã‚ã®ã“ã‚気付ã‹ãªã‹ã£ãŸã¬ãã‚‚ã‚Šã¯ã“ã“ã«ã¯ãªã„
There was not the warmth here which I hadn’t noticed at that time.
ã‚ãªãŸã‚’離れã¦æ°—付ãã“ã¨ãªã©ã„ã£ã±ã„ã‚ã£ã¦
I notice a lot of things after I left home.
１９をéŽãŽã¦å°‘ã—大人ã«ãªã‚Š
I became a little more adult when I passed 19.
ナイーブãªè‡ªåˆ†ã‚’見ã¤ã‘ã‚‹
I find my self being supple.
手を焼ãå供３人ã‹ã‹ãˆ
You hold three uncontrollable children
æ±—æµã—犬ã«å ãˆã‚‰ã‚Œã¦
sweating barked at by the dogs
一枚ã®ãƒ“ラã«è¾¼ã‚ãŸ
One sheet of flier
ã‚ãªãŸã®å¿ƒã‚ãªãŸã®æ€’ã‚Š
Including your heart your anger
ç„¡æ„味ã«ã§ã‚‚å«ã³ç¶šã‘ãŸ
You continued to shout
ã‚ãªãŸã¯æ‰“ã¡å‹ã£ãŸ
You over came
許ã›ã¬äº‹ã«æ„å¿—ã‚’æŒã¡
You have strong mind against unacceptable matter.
怒りをæŒã¤ã“ã¨
å—ã‘ã¤ã„ã§ã—ã¾ã„ã¾ã—ãŸ
I inherited it
疲れãŸã‹ã‚‰ã ã²ããšã£ã¦
You dragged your tired body
ã‚ãŒã¾ã¾ãªåƒ•ã‚‰ã‚’ã‚ã‚„ã—ãŸ
And cradle us, spoilt children.
ã—ã‚ã®ã‚ˆã£ãŸåƒã手ã§
You hold us warmly with your wrinkled workers hands
温ã‹ã僕らを抱ãã—ã‚ã¦
横目ã§æ„Ÿã˜ã¦ãŸã‚ãªãŸã®æ€ã„ã‚„ã‚Šã«ã¯ã‚€ã‹ã£ã¦
ãƒã‚«ãªã“ã¨ã°ã‹ã‚Šã—ã¦ã„ãŸåƒ•ã‚’
You forgave me though I resisted you and repeated stupid behavior, even I felt your feeling .
優ã—ã許ã—ã¦ãã‚Œã¾ã—ãŸã
