Текст и перевод песни Junichi Inagaki - 笑顔の行方

笑顔の行方

卒業アルバムの 最初の春のページ
無邪気に笑う私がいる...
―思いきり抱きしめたい
この腕を伸ばして―
髪を上手に編めるようになって
マニキュアだってうまく塗れるわ
もうあの頃の私じゃない
同じ笑顔はできなくても
手を伸ばす勇気に換えた
ベクトルの行方は
あなただけに向かっている
まっすぐに
たった一言がいつも言えなくて
泣いてばかりの私を消した
何も失くしてなどいない
同じ笑顔はできなくても
きっと言える きっと届く
会いたい夜も 逢えない夜も
超えて
思いきり抱きしめたい
この腕を伸ばして
あなただけが握っている
この笑顔の行方を―
今ならもっと
素直に笑える
最初の春に
負けないくらい

Where the Smile Leads

On the first spring page of the graduation album
There exists me smiling innocently...
―I want to embrace you with all my might
With my arms reaching out―
I became good at braiding my hair
I can even apply nail polish skillfully
I'm no longer the me from back then
Even though I can't make the same smile
I traded it for the courage to reach out
The vector's destination
Is directed only towards you
Straightforwardly
That one word, I've always been unable to utter
It made the me who was always crying disappear
I have lost nothing
Even though I can't make the same smile
I'll surely be able to say it, it'll surely reach you
During nights when I wished to meet you, nights when I couldn't
Overcoming them
I want to embrace you with all my might
With my arms reaching out
You are the only one holding
Where this smile leads―
Now more than ever
I can smile honestly
In that first spring
As much as I did not lose
