Lyrics and translation Akiko Wada - 孤独なひまわり

孤独なひまわり

ひまわりは陽気だと 誰もが言うけれど
太陽に 恋をしても
一人ぼっちで 咲いてる
その姿その想い 私に似ているよ
そっとうつむき 泣きたいときも
そうよ 笑ってる
それでも 良かった...
この人生で あなたに逢えて
いつか いつの日か お別れが来るでしょう
涙こぼれても 笑いたい
どんなときも 前を向いて 生きたことを
小さな 誇りとして
哀しいと笑うのが 知らずにクセになる
心のままに 生きられないの
それが 人生ね
それでも 良かった...
胸の痛みは 信じたしるし
いつか あなたとも お別れが来るでしょう
生まれ変われたら もう一度
苦しくても 傷ついても 泣いてもまた
あなたを 愛したいの
いつか いつの日か お別れが来るでしょう
涙こぼれても 笑いたい
どんなときも 前を向いて 生きたことを
小さな 誇りとして

Lonely Sunflower

Everyone says sunflowers are cheerful,
But even though they’re in love with the sun,
They bloom all alone.
That image, those feelings, they’re just like me.
I lower my head and want to cry,
But yes, I'm laughing.
Even so...It was worth it.
To meet you in this life.
Someday, at some point, the time will come for us to say goodbye.
Even with tears in my eyes, I want to smile.
At the fact that I always faced forward,
As a small kind of pride.
I laugh when I’m sad, I didn’t realize it had become a habit.
I can’t live my life as I really feel.
That’s life, isn’t it?
Even so...It was worth it.
This pain in my chest is proof that I believed.
Someday, the time will come for us to say goodbye.
If I could be reborn, I would do it again
Even if it’s painful, even if I’m hurt, even if I have to cry,
I want to love you.
Someday, at some point, the time will come for us to say goodbye.
Even with tears in my eyes, I want to smile.
At the fact that I always faced forward,
As a small kind of pride.
