Текст и перевод песни KOKIA - from 16

from 16

寂しくないと 言ったらウソになるかもしれないけれど
夢を追うなら そう 何か手放さなくちゃ

時に自分じゃ 叶えられそうに ないような事を
友達が先に叶えた時には...

人はそう 人の幸せを自分のことのように感じて
前に進んで行けるから
それぞれが 自分の 行き方を通して
誰かにきっと 幸せ分けて歩いて いるんだろう
そうやって みんなで歩いて行く

同じ窓の外を見上げていた時からずっと
私達は何も変わっていないようだけれど
名前の横に書かれた肩書き 役割 気にする
そんな大人になってしまったんだろう

from 16 あの頃は 何してる人かよりも
目の前の笑顔が 何より大事だった
いつからだろう 知らず知らずのうちに
大切なものを 何か失ってしまったのかも

あの頃からたいして何も 変わっていない気がするけど
何1つ無駄だった時間なんて 無かった
大人色に染まってしまった 窓を もう一度磨けば
いつだって 一緒に見上げた空に もう一度 描ける

from 16 横を見れば 頑張る友の姿に
競い合って 支えあって 前に進んで来れた
from 16 あの頃から 少しは大人に
なったんだろう 想い出の中の私達より

人はそう 人の幸せを自分のことのように感じて
前に進んで行けるから
それぞれが 自分の 行き方を通して 誰かにきっと
幸せ分けて歩いて いるんだろう

同じようなことを繰り返しのように感じたとしても...

from 16

It might be a lie to say I'm not lonely, but
if you want to chase a dream, you have to let go of something.

Sometimes, you can't achieve something on your own,
and when your friend achieves it first...

People feel other people's happiness as if it were their own,
and they can move forward.
Each person, through their own way of life,
is surely sharing happiness with someone, walking along.
That's how we all walk together.

From the time we looked out the same window,
it seems like we haven't changed at all,
but we're concerned with the titles and roles written next to our names.
We've become adults like that, haven't we?

From 16, back then, it was more important to me than who you were,
your smile in front of me was the most important thing.
When did it start? Without knowing, I think
I might have lost something precious.

I feel like nothing much has changed since then,
but there wasn't a single wasted moment.
If I polish the window that has been stained with the color of adulthood,
I can draw again on the sky we always looked up at together.

From 16, looking to the side, I saw the figure of my friend working hard,
we competed with each other, supported each other, and moved forward.
From 16, we've become a little more adult,
haven't we? We're a little more grown up than the us in our memories.

People feel other people's happiness as if it were their own,
and they can move forward.
Each person, through their own way of life, surely shares
happiness with someone, walking along.

Even if it feels like we're repeating the same thing...
