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
