Lyrics and translation Midori Karashima - Lullaby

Lullaby

平和な一日を過ごすそれだけでいいのに
神様は心になぜ傷を与えるのだろう？
痛みや憎しみがいつかやさしさに包まれ
静かに泣きながら話せる日がきっとくるよ

新しい哀しみに独り向かう時
もう何も、夢さえも、見たくないのなら

眠りよ 眠りよ 眠りなさい
春が来たら起こしてあげる
枯れたと思った枝に咲く
花の薫り 届けてあげる

私がどれくらいあなたを大好きだったか
もっと言えばよかった
これが最後と知ってたら

突然の哀しみに愛を疑う瞬間(とき)
出会うのも、待つことも、信じ疲れたら

眠りよ 眠りよ 眠りなさい
夏が来たら誘ってあげる
強くて懐かしい風が吹く
海に身体 還しに行こう

眠りよ 眠りよ 眠りなさい
秋が来たら教えてあげる
夕暮れ街並み つなぐ手が
マフラーより暖かいこと

眠りよ 眠りよ 眠りなさい
冬が来て あなたは気付くの
弱くて小さな私でも
何かひとつ、たったひとつ、伝えるため、生まれてきたと

Lullaby

Would it be so bad to just spend our days in peace and quiet?
Why does God give us these painful wounds on our hearts?
When the pain and hatred are finally engulfed by kindness,
We'll talk about it as we cry softly.

When I'm all alone, facing these new sorrows,
If there's nothing left to see, not even dreams, then

Sleep, my love, sleep, my love, sleep now
When spring comes, I'll wake you
The flowers will bloom on the branches you thought were dead
And I'll bring you their fragrant embrace

I should have told you how much I loved you,
I should have said more
If I knew this was the end

In my sudden sorrow, I have moments when I doubt love.
If I'm tired of meeting people, waiting for them, and believing them,

Sleep, my love, sleep, my love, sleep now
When summer comes, I'll entice you
With a wind that's strong and nostalgic
Let's go to the sea and feel our bodies become one again

Sleep, my love, sleep, my love, sleep now
When autumn comes, I'll show you
The hands that connect us as we walk through the city streets at dusk.
They'll be warmer than any scarf

Sleep, my love, sleep, my love, sleep now
When winter comes, you'll realize,
That even I, who am weak and small,
Was born to tell you something, just one thing,
