Lyrics and translation Anri Kumaki - 祖母と二人で

祖母と二人で

小路を歩けば 肩が並んで
思い思いの たそがれ 探 す
遠くの方には オレンジの屋根
帰ろう共に いついつまで も
げたを鳴らしたら ふりむけなくなって
少し目をそ らし た
長い人生 色々あるよと
花の名前の 間に言った
あれはおきざり草 だれの忘れ物
静かすぎる 夜までの 道
古びた手帳は なごりの文字で
滲んだ文面 時を 奏 でる
話してくれた いつものテーブル
互いに違う 顔を 見せ合う
本当の親子は 幸せだと言って
少しうつむ い た
いつのまにか 大人になったねと
お茶をにごして ぽつりと言う
子供ができたら 日記をつけよう
短すぎる 夕飯までの 時
長い人生 色々あるよと
花の名前の 間に言った
あれはおきざり草 だれの忘れ物
静かすぎる 夜までの 道

With My Grandmother

As we walk along the alley, shoulder to shoulder
We each search for our own twilight reverie
Far off, there are orange roofs
Let us go home together, forever and ever
When my clogs begin to clack, I can no longer turn back
I look away slightly
She says, "In a long life, there are many things,"
Among the names of flowers
That's the forget-me-not, forgotten by someone
The path to nightfall is too quiet
In a worn notebook, spidery handwriting
Blurred words play the melody of time
At our usual table, she talks about
The different faces we see in each other
She says, "True parents are happy,"
And looks down slightly
When did you grow up, she says
As she makes tea and mutters
If you have children, keep a diary
The time until dinner is too short
She says, "In a long life, there are many things,"
Among the names of flowers
That's the forget-me-not, forgotten by someone
The path to nightfall is too quiet
