Fukuyama Masaharu の Heart

Hotaru (Fireflies)
Music / Lyrics : Fukuyama Masaharu

Thank you
………. Arigatou
For noticing me in the streets
………. Kono machide bokuno koto mitsukete kurete
It’s because we want to know all (about each other)
………. Bokutachiwa nanimo kamo shiritakute
that we can fall in love.
………. Koiwo shita

Where were you before? What was your world like?
………. Dokoni itano? Donna sekai de kimiwa ikitetano?
Who did you love? What scars do you bear?
………. Darewo aishitano? Donna kizuga aruno?
Have you been crying alone?
………. Hitorikiri naitetano?

I only want to gaze at you now
………. Ima kimidakewo mitsumeteru
When you’re angry, when you smile,
………. Okotta kaomo Waratta kaomo
These words are certainly not enough, but still
………. Kono kotobaja kitto tarinaikedo
“You’re the one I love”
………. Kimiga suki

How you hate to force a smile
………. Tsukuriwarai kiraina koto
How you’re no good with thunder
………. Kaminariga damena koto
It’s because we’re so different
………. Bokutachiwa nanimokamo chigaukara
that we can love each other.
………. Aishiatta

Let’s go back together to the city where I grew up
………. Bokuga sodatta machini itsuka isshoni kaerouyo
That old chapel, that uphill slope to school
………. Furui kyoukai Sakamichino tsuugakuro
The people I want you to meet.
………. Atte hoshii hitoga iru

We are like fireflies now
………. Ima hotarubino youni bokura
Lighting up the flame of life,
………. Inochino hiwo moyashite iru
However small our glow, we can still burn up
………. Chippoke demo donna higeki saemo
Any tragedy that comes.
………. Yakitsukusu youni

I only want to gaze at you now
………. Ima kimidakewo mitsumeteru
Through the spring we met, and the simmering summer
………. Deatta harumo Hashaida natsumo
Through the autumn when we cried, and the winter we walked past, huddled together
………. Naita akimo Yorisoi aruita fuyumo
“You’re the one I love”
………. Kimiga suki

Thank you……
………. Arigatou
For our encounter in the streets
………. Kono machide deatte kurete
For being born.
………. Umarete kurete
