Kiseki (Miracle)

After the longest time, I come back to my blog bearing lyrics to one of my favorite Japanese songs. I first encountered it while watching the J-Drama version of the manga Rookies. The reason why I watched this faithfully was primarily because of Shirota Yuu playing the role of one of the lead characters, Shinjo Kei. ^__________________^v

The song 'Kiseki' was sung by GReeeeN, and besides the awesome melody, the lyrics are one that speaks volumes. Enjoy!! Romaji and English translation below.

Ashita kyou yori mo suki ni nareru
Afureru omoi ga tomoranai
Ima mo konna ni suki de iro no ni
Kotoba ni dekinai
I’ll love you more tomorrow than today
These overflowing emotions won’t stop
Right now I love you so much
I can’t even put it into words

Kimi no kureta hibi ga tsumikasanari
Sugisatta hibi futari aruita kiseki
Bokura no deai ga moshi guuzen naraba
Unmei naraba kimi ni meguriaeta
The days you’ve given me accumulate
The days that have passed, the paths we walked together
Whether our meeting was coincidence
Or fate, just the fact that we met

Sore tte kiseki
Is a miracle

Futari yurisotte aruite
Towa no ai wo katachi ni shite
Itsu mademo kimi no yoko de waratte itakute
Arigatuo ya aa aishiteru ja mada
We walk close together
Making our eternal love tangible
I want to always be smiling by your side
“Thank you” and, ah, “I love you”
Just aren’t enough

Tarinai kedo semete iwasete
Shiawase desu to
Just at least let me say
I’m happy

Itsumo kimi no migi no tenohirai wo
Tada boku no hidari no tenohira ga
Sotto tsutsundeku sore dake de
Tada ai wo kanjite ita
Just having your right hand
Wrapped up
In my left hand
Made me feel your love

Hibi no naka de chiisana shiawase
Mitsuke kasane yukkuri aruita kiseki
Bokura no deai wo ookina sekai de
Chiisana dekigoto meguriaeta
We found the little happinesses in each day
In the slow path we walked
Our meeting is just one small thing
In a big world, but just the fact that we met

Sore tte kiseki
Is a miracle

Umaku ikanai hi datte
Futari de ireba hare datte
Tsuyogari ya sabishisa wo wasurerareru kara
Boku wa kimi de rara boku de ireru kara
Even on days when nothing goes well
Just being together cheers me up
And I can forget the bravado and loneliness
When I’m with you, lala, I can be myself

Dakara itsumo soba ni ite yo
Itoshii kimi e
Just stay with me forever
My beloved

Futari fuzake atta kaerimichi
Sore mo taisetsu na bokura no hi
Omoi yo todoke to tsutaeta toki ni
Hajimete miseta hyoujou no kimi
When we fooled around on the way home
That was one of our precious days, too
And when I finally got up the courage to tell you how I felt
The expression on your face was one I’d never seen before


Sukoshi no ma ga aite kimi ga unazuite
Bokuna no kokoro mitasareteku ai de
Bokura mada tabi no tochuu de
Mata kore kara saki mo nanjuunen
There was a pause, and then you nodded
Our hearts are filled with love
We’re still on our journey
Towards the future that will hopefully continue

Tsuzuite ikeru you na mirai e
Tatoeba hora ashita wo miushinaisou ni
Bokura natta toshitemo
For dozens of years
Even if we lose sight
Of tomorrow

Futari yorisotte aruite
Towa no ai wo katachi ni shite
Itsu mademo kimi no yoko de waratte itakute
Arigatou ya aa ai shiteru ja mada
We walk close together
Making our eternal love tangible
I want to always be smiling by your side
“Thank you” and, ah, “I love you”

Tarinai kedo semete iwasete
Shiawase desu to
Just aren’t enough, just at least let me say
I’m happy

Umaku ikanai hi datte
Futari de ireba hare datte
Yorokobi ya kanashimi mo subete wakeaeru
Kima ga eru kara ikite ikeru kara
Even on days when nothing goes well
Just being together cheers me up
And I can forget the bravado and loneliness
When I’m with you, lala, I can be myself

Dakara itsumo soba ni ite yo
Itoshii kimi e
Just stay with me forever
My beloved

Saigou no ichibyou made
Until the last second

Ashita kyou yori egao ni nareru
Kimi ga iru dake de sou omoeru kara
Nanjuunen nanbyakunen nansennen
Toki wo keoyou
I’ll be smiling more tomorrow than today
Just being with you makes me feel that way
Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years
Let’s spend the time together

Kimi wo ai shiteru
I love you
