     [Romaji Lyrics]

araizarashi no SHATSU
sode wo tooshita you ni
hizashi ga kigi no sukima de yureru
watashi wa inu wo tsurete
itsumo no kouen
ooki na ike no mawari wo
sanpo suru

hana ya do no nioi
kaze no naka no tori no koe
inochi michi afure
sora ga kisetsu wo utau

yasashii kimochi ni nareru
suteki na toki no sugoshi kata
kokoro wo sukoshi yasumasete
omoidasou
hontou no jibun wo...

BENCHI ni koshi wo kakete
ongaku kiitari
FURISUBII shiteru hitotachi
nagametari...

sora no shiroi kumo ga
hora yukkuri nagareteku
isoganaku tatte
ashita wa yattekuru yo

yasashii kimochi ni nareru
doyou no gogo no sugoshi kata
atama no naka wo karappo ni shite
raku ni narou
ikiteru to iu koto

itsu no ma ni ka shiawase de
ai no uta wo
kuchizusanderu

yasashii kimochi ni nareru
suteki na toki no sugoshi kata
kokoro wo sukoshi yasumasete
omoidasou

yasashii kimochi ni nareru
tsukareta toki wa koko ni kite
kata no chikara wo nuite hora
iki wo shiyou
egao ni naritai
hontou no jibun wo...
mitsumeyou

     [English Translation]

The sunlight sways through gaps in the trees,
making me put on
my faded shirt
I walk around the big pond,
in the park where
I always take my dog

The scent of flowers and earth,
the voices of birds in the wind
Life overflows,
and the sky sings of the season

I can feel content,
passing lovely time in this way
It rests my heart a bit,
and I'll remember
the real me...

I sit on a bench,
listening to music
and watching people
toss Frisbees around...

Look, the white clouds in the sky
are flowing along so restfully
Tomorrow will come,
no matter how little I hurry today

I can feel content,
passing a Saturday afternoon in this way
My head empties,
and I'll be comforted
just by being alive

Happy before I know it,
I'm humming
a song of love

I can feel content,
passing lovely time in this way
It rests my heart a bit,
and I'll remember

I can feel content
When I'm weary, I come here,
use my strength, and look,
I'll just breathe
I want to smile,
so I'll watch...
the real me
