Koibana (コイバナ)

[nebulancer]

English translation:

A seed known as a small “like” will

Someday become the flower known as a great big “love”

 

Like the wind, this too-busy everyday life passes me by

In the moment we locked eyes, I met your kindness

 

Always wanting to be thrilled

Anyone wants to be excited

I’m the only one who can make that possible –

Directly, right now, I’ll go tell that to you

 

I want to keep running, searching for it

What’s precious to me is definitely by my side

A seed known as a small “like” will

Someday become the flower known as a great big “love”

 

I discovered the uniqueness in these ordinary, normal days

For the sake of those who taught me that, I’ll do everything I can

 

Always wanting to sparkle

Anyone wants to be lively

If the light in your heart’s starting to sparkle,

Teach me, tell me, what you saw

 

No matter when, I want to search for it

Because this one moment will never come again

Gathering small joys will

Someday become the song known as a great big “dream”

 

Even if the unseen tomorrow makes my heart tremble,

I can keep on walking with my feelings of belief

Even if I don’t find something I want to be captivated by,

I’ll take my time, take my time, and search for it

 

I want to find it with you

What’s precious to me is definitely by my side

A seed known as a small “like” will

Someday become the flower known as a great big “love”

Kanji:

 

小さな「好き」という種が

やがて大きな「恋」という花になる

 

風のように　過ぎ去ってゆく　忙しすぎる毎日

瞳重なる　その瞬間に　君の優しさに出会えた

 

いつだって　ドキドキしたい

誰だって　ワクワクしたい

叶えられるのは　僕しかいないと

まっすぐ　いますぐ　君に伝えるから

 

走り続けて探したい

大切なもの　すぐそばにきっとある

小さな「好き」という種が

やがて大きな「恋」という花になる

 

当たり前の　日々の中に　特別を見つけたよ

教えてくれた　人のために　僕のできること全てを

 

いつだって　キラキラしたい

誰だって　ウキウキしたい

心の光が　輝き出すなら

教えて　伝えて　君が見ていたもの

 

どんなときでも探したい

この一瞬は二度とないはずだから

小さな幸せを集めて

やがて大きな「夢」という歌になる

 

見えない明日に心が揺れていても

信じる気持ちで歩いてゆける

夢中になりたいことが見つからなくても

ゆっくりゆっくり探してゆこう

 

君と一緒に見つけたい

大切なもの　すぐそばにきっとある

小さな「好き」という種が

やがて大きな「恋」という花になる
