Chiisana Tenohira

The Palm of a Tiny Hand

tooku de tooku de yureteru inaho no
umi
ho wo age ho wo age mezashita
omoide he to
bokura ha kyou made no kanashii koto
zenbu oboeteru ka, wasureta ka
Far away, far away, the sea of rice
plants wavers
Raising the rice, raising the rice, we
aimed for the memory
Do we remember the sad things that
have happened before today, or have
we forgotten them?
chiisana te ni mo itsukara ka bokura
oikoshiteku tsuyosa
ureta budou no shita naiteta hi kara
aruita
chiisana te de mo hanarete mo bokura
ha kono michi yukunda
itsuka kuru hi ha ichiban no omoide
wo shimatte
Even in this tiny hand, there could
someday be strength surpassing our
own
From the day I cried beneath the ripe
grapes, I started to walk
Even if my hand is small, even if we're
separated, we'll walk this road
And on the day that will someday
come, we'll store away our best
memories
kisetsu ha utsuri mou tsumetai kaze
ga
tsutsumarete nemure ano haru no uta
no naka de
The seasons change; already the cold
wind
Wraps around us and sleeps inside the
song of that spring
chiisana te ni mo itsukara ka bokura
oikoshiteku tsuyosa

nureta hoo ni ha dore dake no egao ga

utsutta
chiisana te de mo hanarete mo bokura
ha kono michi yukunda
soshite kuru hi ha bokura mo omoide
wo
shimatta

Even in this tiny hand, there could

someday be strength surpassing our
own
Those wet cheeks reflected a number
of smiles
Even if my hand is small, even if we're
separated, we'll walk this road
And on the new day we too stored
away our memories
chiisana te mo itsu no hi ka bokura
oikoshite yukunda
yagate kuru hi ha atarashii kisetsu wo
hiraita
Even this tiny hand will one day pass
by us
And on the new day, a new season
began

If this melody, on the brink of

dissipating,
could weave out just one unwavering
timbre/memory,
then it will no longer matter if
everything I've come to believe in
should turn out to be false.

I've been searching for the evidence of
my existence in this place.
Finally I've realized that it's been
inside my right pocket all along.
Today's sky looks especially blue since
it's completely cleared up,
as though it's made the entire world
translucent.

Both for me, who believe it cannot be
found and am giving up,
and for you, who comfort me by
saying that it can be found,
the meaning of life does not change or
vary.

Even if evidence of my non-existence
in this place were thrust before me,
it has always been inside my right
pocket.
Today's town looks especially dark and
sluggish,
as though it's painted the entire world
over with its color.
GOMEN ne tte nigedashite kizutsuketa

Both for me, who apologized, ran off,
and hurt you,
and for you, who thanked me, smiled,
and accepted me,
the meaning of life does not change or
vary.

In this world on the brink of crumbling,
if I could seek out just one sure
answer,

then even I, having gone through so

much in the past,
will surely be able to begin forgiving
others with smiles.
kotoba dake ja tsutaekirenai
bokura ga ima koko ni iru akashi wa
kuzurekaketa sekai no naka de
dore dake no utagoe todokerareru ka

Words cannot fully convey what I want
to express.
The evidence of our existence in this
very place,
within this world that has started to
fall apart,
just how much singing voice can it
deliver?
kowaresou na MERODII
hitotsu dake tashika na neiro
tsumugidasetara

If this melody, on the brink of
dissipating,
could weave out just one unwavering
timbre/memory,
then it will no longer matter if
everything I've come to believe in
should turn out to be false.

Although I haven't wished for them,
they won't go away.
I'm unexpectedly confounded because
of these unknown feelings.

Why must I end up being pulled
towards those frank emotions?
Very soon, I might just be able to
cross over my timorous line of guard.

My Miraculous Encounter with You

Likely, I will lose my self-confidence

again and again,
but I just need to be my honest self
and stay by your side.

Right now I want to approach you
slowly and try to touch your hand.
I feel shy looking at your smile and
feeling your tenderness,
so I always end up averting my eyes.

Why must I end up being pulled

Very soon, I might just be able to
cross over my timorous line of guard.

I'm Yours
When you have something precious
you must protect
But you can only stand rooted to the
ground, not knowing what to do

Or when you lose all your possibilities

and let darkness envelop you
And you're about to be swallowed up
in your despair
I will become the light to shine your
path
Even the king of this world cannot
block me out
so, everything that makes me whole
I will dedicate them all to you now
I'm Yours

I'm Yours
Even if someone were to call you a liar
And try to hurt you with heartless
words
Or if the whole world doesn't even try
to believe in you
And try to put a crown of thorns on
your head
I can still become a friend only to you
I know of that loneliness and that pain
so, everything that makes me whole
I will dedicate them all to you now
I'm Yours

If you could know of me someday
Then I will definitely be there
Even if there isn't a single fragment of
hope there
Or if I had to be something that's not
supposed to be
The fact that you won't forget about
me
I know it better than anyone
So, for you, I will dedicate
Everything I have now

On a sleepy morning when I just fall
asleep and wake again over and over
I fasten my neck tie tightly
I walk through the door of the
classroom able to stick out my chest
ever so slightly
The wind blows right through such
ordinary days
I felt like I heard it
Because I felt like I sensed it
Just now, in my heart that has begun
to tremble
I felt it come again
Some hundred million stars vanishing
I saw them off
Waved goodbye

And said "Good for you"

While cleaning I looked down into the
corner of the corridor
And thought that it really was strange
Even though the time inside of me has
stopped
I feel like each day I live is different
And dust piles up like snow
I felt like it was waiting for me
Because I felt like it was calling to me
Just now, this time that has begun to
tremble
I felt like I had found it
The memories I lost were awoken
This is the end
Of my eternal
Story

Before I knew it, I took off running

Pulled along by your hand

Yesterday so distant and tomorrow so
close
Naturally, it made my heart leap

I felt like I heard it
Because I felt like I sensed it
Just now, in my heart that has begun
to tremble
I felt it come again
the new sun, crossing over a thousand
mornings
I felt like it was waiting for me
Because I felt like it was calling to me
My shivering spirit
I felt like I had found it
These days that could vanish like
some hundred million dreams
I saw them off
Waved goodbye
And said "thank you"
