1.
I'm 14 years old, I'm pretty

元気な小さいLady
Genki na chiisai Lady
I'm a teeny tiny girl, a little lady

床下にずっと 借りぐらししてたの
Yukashita ni zutto ~ karigurashi shiteta no
I live under the kitchen floor ~ right here, not so far from you.


時にはHappy、時にはBlue、
Toki niwa Happy, toki niwa Blue,
Sometimes I feel happy, sometimes I feel blue

誰かに会いたい
Dareka ni aitai
In my dreams oh I wish I could...


(Chorus)
風髪に感じて 空を眺めたい
Kaze kami ni kanjite ~ sora o nagametai
Feel my hair blowing in the wind ~ see the sky and the summer rain

あなたに花 届けたい
Anata ni hana ~ todoketai
Pick a flower from the garden for you


向こうは別の世界
Mukou wa betsu no sekai
Beyond the lane there's another world

ほら蝶々が舞ってる 私を待っている
Hora chouchou ga matteru ~ atashi o matte iru
Butterflies floating in the air ~ but is there someone out there for me?


2.
そう、変わることのない わたしの小さい世界
Sou, kawarukoto no nai ~ watashi no chiisai sekai
And so life goes on, day after day ~ with knick-knacks on the floor, nooks and crannies

嫌いじゃないの でもあなたを
Kiraijanai no ~ demo anata o
I live in a tiny world

もっと もっと知りたくて
Motto ~ motto shiritakute
But out there, someone waits for me


喜びと悲しみは いつも 折り混ざってゆく
Yorokobi to kanashimi wa ~ itsumo ~ ori mazatte yuku
I wish I had someone to watch over me ~ in my dreams oh I wish I could...


(Chorus)
風髪に感じて 空を眺めたい
Kaze kami ni kanjite ~ sora o nagametai
Feel my hair blowing in the wind ~ see the sky and the summer rain

あなたに花届けたい
Anata ni hana ~ todoketai
Pick a flower from the garden for you


向こうは別の世界
Mukou wa betsu no sekai
Now I know there's another world

ほら蝶々が舞ってる あなたを待っている
Hora chouchou ga matteru ~ anata o matte iru
Butterflies floating in the air ~ there is someone out there for me.


[English version - repeat chorus]

[Japanese version - bridge then an additional stanza]

太陽の下で 花に囲まれて
Taiyou no shita de ~ hana ni kakomarete
--

あなたと日々 過ごしたい
Anata to hibi ~ sugoshitai

この想いを胸に 新しい世界で
Kono omoi o mune ni ~ atarashii sekai de

私らしく 生きる
Watashi rashiku ~ ikiru
