Egao no Riyuu (Fuji Shuusuke)

itsumo no wake up sukoshi mae
kaaten no mukou ha mabushii morning call
ugokidasuyo ichinichi ga
kyou ha "so" nani ga okiru

sunadokei no you ni hitotsubu hitotsubu
nagareteku tsuiokuha ...

itsuno manika bokura ha yatte kita
kurikaeru to tookute
fotokitzukeba itori jya nai kara ne
egao no riyuu kimi ga iru kara

oki ni iri ha furukute mo
attakaku yarakai anaroku na oto

machi wo sure chigau sorezore unmei
airaku wo kuri kaeshi

kiri no you ni samayou tabibitosa
shinkirou ha tooku ni
futo kisukeba sonzai shiterunda
ikiteru riyuu, wakari hajimeru

itsuno manika bokura ha yattekita
kurikaeru to tookute
futo kizukeba futari ha yorisotte
egao no riyuu kimi ga iru kara

 

 

Reason for Smiling (Fuji Shuusuke)

Always, a little before waking up
Beyond the curtain, a dazzling morning call
I'm going to get moving
So today, whats going to happen?*

Just like an hourglass, grain by grain
The remembrances that flow are

Without noticing, we've done it
Repeating and far away
If suddenly I notice, I'm not alone
The reason for smiling is because you're here

Even if the things you like are old
A warm soft analog sound

Meeting in town, each has a different fate
The returning sadness and happiness

A traveler who wanders like the fog
The mirage is far away
If suddenly I notice, --- existing**
The reason for living, the begining of parting***

Without noticing, we've done it
if I suddenly notice, the two are snuggled up together
The reason for smiling, you're here

 

*Okiru means wake up but it also can mean happen or occur. sort of punny. eh heh.
** is because i don't know the song well enough yet. this is the first time i've heard it, and i'm listening to it in little 10 second chunks while reading the words and transcribing. So i'm not sure if its "my existence" or "your existence". need to listen more.
*** it's said that meeting is the begining of parting so....
