Lyrics and translation Ko Shibasaki - Taisetsuni Suruyo

Taisetsuni Suruyo

あなたは今どこに住んでるかな
元気でいるのかな 寒くはないかな
困った顔しないで 投げ出したりしないで

後戻りはしないで 暮らしててね
笑っててね‥‥ そして

いつかはあなたも大人になって
出会った人と恋に落ちる
そんなときにも
どこかで手を合わせ祈ってる

あなたの指定席、 変わってないかな
前みたいに外を ながめているかな
たまにしかってくれた
たまに笑わせてくれた
離れても遠くから
心の瞳（め）で見てくれた
今も‥‥

あなたがそこに生きてるだけで
それだけで 私も生きられる
いつか私も一人で立てるようになるかな

誰もがいつしか時間の旅終えて
次の場所へ歩く そして気付いてゆく
見えない繋がれた手に

いつかはあなたも言葉じゃなくて
愛する人に愛伝える
そんなときにも
どこかで手を合わせ祈ってる

Taisetsuni Suruyo

Where do you live now, I wonder
Are you well? Isn't it cold there?
Please don't look troubled. Please don't give up.

Please don't back down. Please keep on living.
Please keep smiling... And

Someday, you too will become an adult
And fall in love with someone you've met.
Even then,
Somewhere, I'll be praying for you.

Has the seat you always sat in changed?
Do you still look out the window the way you used to?
You used to scold me sometimes.
You used to make me laugh sometimes.
Even when we're apart, from afar,
You watched over me with the eyes of your heart.
Even now...

Just knowing that you're alive out there
Is enough for me to live on.
Someday, I too will be able to stand on my own.

Some day, all of us will finish our journey in time,
And move on to the next place. And then we'll realize
The invisible hand that connects us.

Someday, you too, not with words,
Will convey your love to someone you love.
Even then,
Somewhere, I'll be praying for you.
