dear grandma

なぁ、覚えてるかい? grandma
あの頃の僕といったらどうしたもんか
どうか、時を越えてあなたのもとへ...

今思い出すよ 僕がまだ幼い頃いつも見守ってくれた天使がいたのさ
やさしく微笑みかけて危なかしい僕を助けてくれた
愛らしくてか弱い天使がいたのさ
震える手で頭なでてくれたね 曲がった背中でおんぶしてくれたね
鮮明に覚えてるよ暖かく心地よい僕を見てた目を
僕は眠りにつく時まで守られてた最高の愛で
まるでそっと羽で包まれスヤスヤその中でうずくまってた

あれからどれぐらい経ったんだろうか
遠くからまだ見守ってくれてるのだろうか
見せたかったこの姿 もしもこの声が聞こえるのなら
どうかもう心配しないで

また思い出すよ
僕がまだ幼い頃いつもそばにいてくれた天使がいたのさ
だけどもう飛べなくなっていた 羽はボロボロになっていた
きっと助けを待っていたのに僕は気付けなかったのさ
僕を呼ぶ震える声はいつもとちょっと違ってた
ゆっくり差し伸べる手は行方失い空に浮いてた
心和ませてくれた目は開かずに涙溢れていた
あの時わかってたんだね 別れが近づいてたって事を

あれからどれぐらい経ったんだろうか
遠くの地で今でも元気でいるのだろうか
言いたかったけど言えなかった
もしもまだ間に合うのなら どうか愚かな僕を許して

悲しみと痛みのジレンマで動けなくなった朝が来るまで
後悔の渦に飲み込まれ、ままならなくなった喋る事さえ
僕は天に祈った一つだけ
「もうわがまま言いません、いい子にしますから、
だから帰ってきてください。」
幾度と繰り返した次の朝が来るまで

光が優しく僕を包み込む 覚えてるこの温もり 願いは通じたんだ...
朝日が差し鏡に映り込む目が腫れた寝起きの僕だけがそこにいたんだ

あの頃の僕は無知で、バカで、
どうしようもなくて隠せなかった苛立ちを
あなたにぶつけてたくせ、都合がいい時だけ助けを求めてた
ごめんね。そしてありがとう。大人になってやっと気付くなんて...

Oh my dear grandma 遠くからまだ見守ってくれてるのだろうか
見せたかったこの姿 もしもこの声が聞こえるのなら
どうかもう心配しないで

どうかもう心配しないで grandma

dear grandma

Darling, do you remember me?
What a little brat I was back then.
I hope this message reaches you across the time.

I reminisce about the times when I was still a young boy; you were always watching over me, my guardian angel.
You would smile so gently and save me, a reckless child, from my mischief.
You were an adorable and fragile angel.
You would pet my head with your trembling hands, and carry me on your hunched back.
I remember so vividly your warm and comforting eyes watching over me.
I would be guarded by the greatest love until I fell asleep.
It was as if I was gently wrapped in feathers; I would curl up and slumber in them.

How long has it been since then?
Are you still watching over me from afar?
If only I could show you who I am now, if only you could hear my voice,
I beg you, worry no more.

I remember another time,
When I was still a young boy, there was an angel who was always by my side.
But she could no longer fly; her wings were tattered and torn.
She must have been waiting for help, but I was too oblivious to notice.
Her trembling voice calling my name sounded a bit different than usual.
Her hands, reaching out to me, slowly disappeared, left floating in the air.
Her eyes, which used to comfort me, were closed, and tears were streaming down her face.
I knew it then: our time together was coming to an end.

How long has it been since then?
Are you still doing well in your distant land?
There were things I wanted to say, but couldn't.
If it's not too late, please forgive this foolish grandson.

Until the morning I could no longer move, paralyzed by sorrow and pain,
I was consumed by a whirlpool of regrets; even speaking became difficult.
I prayed to the heavens, just one thing:
“I will no longer be selfish; I will be a good boy.
So please come back to me.”
I repeated it over and over, until the next morning.

A gentle light enveloped me; I recognized the warmth. My wish had come true...
The morning sun peeked through the window, and in the mirror, I saw only my puffy eyes from a night of crying.

I was so ignorant back then, so stupid,
I couldn't hide my frustration—I lashed out at you,
and then shamelessly sought your help when it suited me.
I'm sorry—and thank you. It took me until I was an adult to realize...

Oh my dear grandma, are you still watching over me from afar?
If only I could show you who I am now, if only you could hear my voice,
I beg you, worry no more.

Please worry no more, grandma.
