Ritsuko Okazaki_-_1993 Nen Haru

1993 年、春

その人はとても優しい声で　
私のことも知っていると言った 

ほんとうに思ってたとおりの人　
あなたの愛がわかる気がした

夢がかなうようにずっと見てると 
あなたに言われてしまった

いつだって励ましてくれてる　
勇気もくれるけど やさしい それだけ 

憧れを戒められたようで
くじける恋心 春晴れた日

それでも心は自分勝手で　
あきらめるのはよそうとも思う 

なぜ あなたはひとりしかいないと　
仕方ないことを考えたりする

長く思いすぎて　もう　友達にも
言えなくなってしまった

ゆるやかに続くこの坂道　
ここまで来たように 明日も 行くのね 

新しい愛に出会うのかも　
ずっとこのままかも まだ 見ぬ未来

いいこともくやしかったことも　
一番にあなたに 話にいきたい 

ちゃんとする　見ていてくれるのだから 
恥ずかしくないよう私でいるから

それはね　愛してるからよ

1993 nen, haru

sono hito wa totemo yasashii koe de
watashi no koto mo shitteiru to itta

chanto suru miteite kureru no dakara
hazukashikunai you watashi de iru kara

sore wa ne aishiteru kara yo

TRANSLATION

1993 SPRING

That person, with a very gentle voice, said he knew me very well.

You’re just like I imagined. I thought I understood your love.

It’s like my dream’s come true. I’m always looking at you. That’s what you told me.

You’re always supporting me. Giving me courage but is that what kindness is?

As when I was rebuked about my aspirations my love seems to give up on this clear spring day.

Even so, I think my heart has decided on his own not to give up.

Why am I always thinking helpless things like that you’re the only one for me.

I’ve thought about it for so long. I can’t even tell my friends about it anymore.

On this slope that goes on gently I’ve made it this far and I’ll keep on going tomorrow.

Maybe I’ll meet a new love, maybe I’ll stay this way forever. The future is unknown.

Good things, sad things, I always want to tell them to you first.

Because you’re always looking at me, I want to be someone you can be proud of.

Because, you know? I love you.
