A Song is Born

-By Ayumi Hamasaki

Haruka haruka suuokunen mo no
Tooi mukashi kono hoshi wa umareta

Kuri kaesareru rekishi no naka de
Bokura wa inochi uketsuidan da

Watashi ni wa konna basho kara
Kono uta wo utau koto de shika
Tsutaerarenai kedo

Mou ichido dake omoidashite
Bokura no hoshi no arubeki sugata
Soshite douka wasure nai de
Douka douka wasure nai de

Kitto kitto sonna ni ooku no
Koto wa dare mo nozonde nakatta

Sorezore no hana mune ni daite
Itsu ka ookiku sakeru you ni to

Watashi ni wa konna basho kara
Kono uta wo utau koto de shika
Tsutaerarenai kedo

Kimi ga moshi hon no sukoshi demo ii kara
Mimi wo katamukete kurereba ureshii yo

Mou ichido dake omoidashite
Naki nagara mo umare tsuita
Kimi no yume ya ashita he no kibou
Sou subete ga kono hoshi ni aru

Watashi ni wa konna basho kara
Kono uta wo utau koto de shika
Tsutaerarenai kedo

Kimi ga moshi hon no sukoshi demo ii kara
Mimi wo katamukete kurereba ureshii yo

Mou ichido dake omoidashite
Bokura no hoshi no arubeki sugata
Soshite douka wasure nai de
Douka douka wasure nai de

Translation:

Long, long ago, in the far-off
past, this world was born.

In the ever-repeating history,
we have inherited life.

But from here, the only way
I can tell you this is by
singing this song.

Remember, just one more time
the form this world should have.
And please, don't forget,
please, please don't forget.

Surely no one was hoping for
any of those terrible things.

Hold the flowers to your heart,
and pray that they may some day bloom.

From here, the only way
I can tell you this is by
singing this song;

I'll be happy if you'd lend me
your ear, even just for a little bit.

Remember, just one more time
how we were born, crying, into this world.
Your dreams and hopes for tomorrow
are all in this world.

From here, the only way
I can tell you this is by
singing this song;

I'll be happy if you'd lend me
your ear, even just for a little bit.

Remember, just one more time
the form this world should have.
And please, don't forget,
please, please don't forget.

Love this song so much! But never knew the lyrics till now... haha
