Lyrics and translation Kiyoshi Hikawa - 命くれない

命くれない

生まれる前から 結ばれていた
そんな気がする 紅の糸
だから死ぬまで ふたりは一緒
「あなた」「おまえ」 夫婦みち
命くれない 命くれない
ふたりづれ

人目をしのんで 隠れて泣いた
そんな日もある 傷もある
苦労積荷の 木の葉の舟で
「あなた」「おまえ」 あぶな川
命くれない 命くれない
ふたりづれ

なんにもいらない あなたがいれば
笑顔ひとつで 生きられる
泣く日笑う日 花咲く日まで
「あなた」「おまえ」 手をかさね
命くれない 命くれない
ふたりづれ

You're My Lifeline

Even before birth, we were bound as one,
I feel it so, like a crimson thread spun.
So until death, together we'll be,
"You" and "me," a couple's journey.
You're my lifeline, you're my lifeline,
The two of us together.

Hiding from view, we've cried in secret,
Such days we've had, wounds we've kept.
In a leaf boat, laden with hardship's weight,
"You" and "me," navigating treacherous straits.
You're my lifeline, you're my lifeline,
The two of us together.

I need nothing else, as long as you are here,
Your single smile lets me live without fear.
Through days of tears, and days of laughter bright,
Until flowers bloom, "you" and "me," hand in hand, with all our might.
You're my lifeline, you're my lifeline,
The two of us together.
