Ayumi Hamasaki - To Be Lyrics

[Romanized:]

Daremo ga toorisugiteku ki ni mo tomenai doushiyou mo nai
Sonna garakuta wo taisetsusou ni kakaete ita
Mawari wa fushigi na kao de sukoshi hanareta basho kara miteta
Sore demo waratte itte kureta "Takaramono da" to

Ooki na nanika wo te ni irenagara ushinatta mono mo atta ka na
Ima to natte wa mou wakaranai yo ne
Torimodoshita tokoro de kitto bimyou ni chigatte iru hazu de
Kimi ga iru nara donna toki mo waratteru yo
Kimi ga iru nara donna toki mo waratteru yo
Naite iru yo ikite iru yo
Kimi ga inakya nanimo nakatta

Jibun jishin datta ka mawari datta ka sore tomo tada no
Tokei datta ka na kowaresou ni natteta mono wa
Garakuta wo mamori tsuzukeru ude wa donna ni itakatta koto darou
Nani wo gisei ni shite kita no darou
Kesshite kirei na maru ni wa narenai keredo ne ibitsu ni kagayaku yo

Kimi ga mitsuketa hiroku mo nai konna michi de
Kimi ga mitsuketa hiroku mo nai semaku mo nai
Konna michi de dou ni ka shite
Kimi ga hitori migakiageta

Kimi ga ita kara donna toki mo waratteta yo
Kimi ga ita kara donna toki mo waratteta yo
Naite ita yo ikite ita yo
Kimi ga inakya nanimo nakatta

[Japanese:]

誰もが通り過ぎてく 気にも止めないどうしようもない
そんなガラクタを大切そうに抱えていた
周りは不思議なカオで 少し離れた場所から見てた
それでも笑って言ってくれた "宝物で"と

大きな何かを手に入れながら 失ったものあったかな
今となってはもうわからないよね
取り戻した所できっと微妙に違っているはずで

君がいるなら どんな時も 笑ってるよ
君がいるなら どんな時も 笑ってるよ 泣いているよ 生きているよ
君がいなきゃ何もなかった

自分自身だったか 周りだったか それともただの
時計だったかな 壊れそうになってたものは

ガラクタを守り続ける腕は どんなに痛かったことだろう
何を犠牲にしてきたのだろう
決してキレイなマルにはなれないけれどね いびつに輝くよ

君が見つけた 広くもない こんな道で
君が見つけた 広くもない 狭くもない こんな道で どうにかして
君がひとり磨きあげた

君がいたから どんな時も 笑ってたよ
君がいたから どんな時も 笑ってたよ 泣いていたよ 生きていたよ
君がいなきゃ何もなかった

[English translation:]

Everyone passes through. I don't keep them in mind either. It can't be helped
You've been carrying that junk as if it's important
People saw you from a distance and thought you were strange
Even so you laughed and said to me "this is treasure"

While I'm gaining something big, I wonder if there's something I've lost
I don't understand
This place I've regained, I bet it's slightly different

If you're there, I'm always laughing
If you're there, I'm always laughing. I'm crying. I'm living
If you're not there, there's nothing

Was it myself? Was it the people? Or was it
Only a clock? The thing that seemed like it would break

How much do the arms that continue to protect the junk hurt?
What have they sacrificed?
Even though you'll never be perfect, you shine in your imperfection

The path you found isn't wide
The path you found isn't wide, it isn't narrow, somehow
You alone have made it better for me

Because you were there, I'm always laughing
Because you were there, I was always laughing. I was crying. I was living
If you're not there, there's nothing
