Matsu Takako


Osanai ano koro no  sanpomichi ni
Sotto  saiteta  shiroi chinchouge
Nantonaku otona no  kaori ga suru
Ano shiroi hana ga  totemo suki deshita
The white daphne odora that bloomed
on the sidewalk when I was younger
somehow has an adult scent
I really loved that white flower

Kouen ni wa  mawaru chikyuu
Jiyuu ni asonde ita
Ano koro yori chotto  okubyou ni natta
Konna watashi wo  mamotte kudasai
In the park,
I played freely on the "revolving globe"
I got a little more cowardly since those times
so please protect me

Guuzen tadoritsuku  yoru no umi ni
Bon'yari ukanda  fune wo nagameteta
Nee warawanaide ne  sonna koto demo
Shiawase ni omou  chippoke na watashi wo
I was watching the boat that was floating in a daze
which suddenly arrived in the ocean at night
Hey, don't laugh ok?  Even those things make me
think happily of the younger me

Anata ga shitte iru koto to
Watashi ga shitteru koto
Kore kara mo zutto  wakachiaeta nara to
Omou n da  nee sore de ii?
I think that if we always share
things that we know with each other
even from now on
hey, would that be ok?

Itsumo wa ienakute  sono yokogao wo
Mite iru isshun de  omou koto ga aru no
Osanai koro ni mita  eiga no kioku
Nando mo yondeta  chiisana ehon-tachi
As always, the moments when I'm looking at your side
without being able to say anything
I think of the memories of a movie that I saw when I was young
& of the many small picture books that I've read

Kenka shitemo  nakanai noni
Kandou suru to  sugu naku
Sore ga uchuu dewa  wazuka na jikan demo
Watashi wa kou shite  ikite kimashita
Even if we fight, I won't cry
but if I'm touched, I'll cry immediately
Even if they are just insignificant times in this universe,
I've come to live in this way

Ano koro yori chotto  okubyou ni natta
Konna watashi wo  mamotte kudasai
I got a little more cowardly since those times
so please protect me
