Lyrics and translation Rina Katahira - Namae

Namae

覚えたての鏡の文字で
一生懸命書いた手紙を
いつも喜んでほめてくれた
大事にしまっておいてくれてた
時々母は泣いてて 父は怒ってた
聞きたくなくて兄はテレビを見てた
ただ皆がいればうれしかった
あの団地は今もあるのかな
大人になればいずれ気付く
うっとうしいくらいの愛を
歩くことを覚えた日から
もうひとりの人になる
母にもらったこの名前を
いつか綺麗に咲かせたい
父から受けついだ名前を
いつか立派に旅立ちたい
古里に咲く菜の花
5月になると黄色い花
負けず嫌いなくせに泣き虫で
走り回ってよく転んだ
補助輪はまだ外せなくて
追いかけても 追いつかない
お下がりは少しはずかしい
クラスでひとり白いリコーダー
大人になれば忘れていく
与えても与えられた愛を
歩くことを覚えたあとも
ひとりでは生きれない
出て行かないで
玄関先でしがみついた
争うのは見たくないけど
はなればなれはもっと嫌だよ
補助輪はもう外れたから
もっと遠くへ行けるんだ
お下がりだけどうれしいよ
マウンテンバイクは速いから
母にもらったこの名前を
いつか綺麗に咲かせたい
父から受けついだ名前を
いつか立派に旅立ちたい

Name

I wrote a letter with my newly learned mirror characters
I wrote it with great care
You were always happy to praise me
You kept it safely
Sometimes my mother cried and my father was angry
My brother didn't want to hear and watched television
I was just happy to have everyone there
I wonder if that apartment complex is still there
When I grow up, I will eventually realize
The love that was almost stifling
From the day I learned to walk
I have become a different person
The name my mother gave me
Someday, I want to make it bloom beautifully
The name I inherited from my father
Someday, I want to embark on a great journey
Rape blossoms that bloom in my hometown
Yellow flowers that bloom in May
A crybaby who is a sore loser
I ran around and often fell
I still can't take my training wheels off
I can't catch up, even if I chase after you
Hand-me-downs are a bit embarrassing
I'm the only one in my class with a white recorder
When I grow up, I will forget
The love that I gave and received
Even after I learned to walk
I can't live by myself
Don't go
I clung to you at the entrance
I don't want to see you fight, but
I hate it even more when we are apart
My training wheels are off now
I can go even farther
I'm happy to have hand-me-downs
My mountain bike is fast
The name my mother gave me
Someday, I want to make it bloom beautifully
The name I inherited from my father
Someday, I want to embark on a great journey
