When you were little. ◆The English translation is below the lyrics◆ ⸻ はじまりの歌 ⸻ [Verse 1] はじまりの季節が そっと風を連れて やわらかな光が 大地に降りてきた まだ名前も知らない 世界のまんなかで 君は小さな足で 懸命に立っていた 揺れる足もとが 不安だったけれど それより強くただ 前だけ見つめてた 転んでは笑って また立ち上がって 君のその勇気は 空まで輝かせた [Chorus] 君がはじめて 一歩踏み出した日 胸の奥で今も 鐘が鳴っている 何も知らないまま それでもまっすぐに 未来へ向かった 小さな背中よ [Verse 2] 道ばたの花さえ 宝物みたいに 瞳いっぱいに映し 君ははしゃいでいた すべてが新しく すべてがまぶしくて そのたび私まで やさしくなれたよ 季節は流れてゆき 景色も変わるけれど あの小さな勇気は 今も胸に灯る 何も知らないまま 進めたあの強さを 大人になった君に そっと届けたいよ [Chorus] 君がはじめて 一歩踏み出した日 胸の奥で今も 鐘が鳴っている 何も知らないまま それでもまっすぐに 未来へ向かった 小さな背中よ ⸻ The Song of Beginnings ⸻ [Verse 1] The season of beginnings softly brought the wind Gentle light came down upon the earth In the middle of a world you did not know yet You stood there, trying your best on your little feet You felt unsure on your shaky legs But more than that, you only looked ahead You fell down, then smiled and stood again Your courage made even the sky shine bright [Chorus] The day you took your very first step A bell still rings deep inside my heart You knew nothing about the world, yet still You walked straight toward the future, little one [Verse 2] Even flowers by the roadside seemed like treasures You looked at them with wonder in your eyes Everything was new, everything was bright And each time, you made me kinder too The seasons pass and the scenery changes But your little courage still shines in my heart The strength you had when you knew nothing at all I want to gently give back to you now that you’ve grown [Chorus] The day you took your very first step A bell still rings deep inside my heart You knew nothing about the world, yet still You walked straight toward the future, little one
