Lyrics and translation 稲垣潤一 duet with 白鳥英美子 & 白鳥マイカ - 人生の扉

人生の扉

春がまた来るたび ひとつ年を重ね
目に映る景色も 少しずつ変わるよ
陽気にはしゃいでた 幼い日は遠く
気がつけば五十路を 越えた私がいる
信じられない速さで 時は過ぎ去ると 知ってしまったら
どんな小さなことも 覚えていたいと 心が言ったよ

I say it's fun to be twenty
You say it's great to be thirty
And they say it's lovely to be fourty
But I feel it's nice to be fifty

満開の桜や 色づく山の紅葉を
この先いったい何度 見ることになるだろう
ひとつひとつ 人生の扉を開けては 感じるその重さ
ひとりひとり 愛する人たちのために 生きてゆきたいよ

I say it's fine to be sixty
You say it's alright to be seventy
And they say still good to be eighty
But I'll maybe live over ninety

君のデニムの青が 褪せてゆくほど 味わい増すように
長い旅路の果てに 輝く何かが 誰にでもあるさ

I say it's sad to get weak
You say it's hard to get older
And they say that life has no meaning
But I still believe it's worth living
But I still believe it's worth living

The Gate of Life

With each returning spring, I grow a year older
The scenery before my eyes gradually changes
The days of frolicking in the sun are distant
Before I knew it, I had passed fifty
Once you realize how quickly time flies
You want to remember even the smallest things, my heart said

I say it's fun to be twenty
You say it's great to be thirty
And they say it's lovely to be fourty
But I feel it's nice to be fifty

The cherry blossoms in full bloom, the crimson leaves of autumn
I wonder how many more times I'll see them
One by one, I open the door of life and feel its weight
I want to live for the people I love

I say it's fine to be sixty
You say it's alright to be seventy
And they say still good to be eighty
But I'll maybe live over ninety

As the blue of your jeans fades, it gains character
At the end of a long journey, there is something shining for everyone

I say it's sad to get weak
You say it's hard to get older
And they say that life has no meaning
But I still believe it's worth living
But I still believe it's worth living
