| tenohira no soyokaze ga
  | hikari no naka ki-ra-ki-ra odori-dasu

  A gentle breeze in my hand
  starts to dance, twinkling, in the light.
  Wearing a new smile for the first time,
  I could say "Good morning," even to strangers.
  
  | anata ni aenaku natte
  | sabita tokei to naita kedo
  When I couldn't see you anymore,
  I cried until a clock rusted, but
  
  | heiki namida ga kawaita ato ni wa
  | yume e no tobira ga aru no
  | nayandecha yukenai
  | kondo kanashimi ga kite mo tomodachi
  | mukaeru you ni warau [kanji: hohoemi] wa
  | ...kitto yakusoku yo
  I'm OK. After the tears have dried,
  there's a door to a dream;
  I mustn't worry.
  If sadness comes again,
  I'll smile, just like I'm welcoming a friend.
  ...It's a promise, for sure.
  
  | furi-sosogu hanabira ga
  | kami ni kata ni hi-ra-hi-ra sasayaku no
  | deai to onaji kazu no
  | wakare ga aru no ne anata no sei ja nai
  Downpouring petals
  whisper, fluttering, on my hair and shoulders.
  There are as many partings as meetings.
  It's not your fault.
  
  | omoide afure-dashite mo
  | watashi no genki makenaide
  Even though memories may overflow,
  I won't lose my good cheer.
  
  | heiki hibi wareta mune no sukima ni
  | shiawase shinobi-komu kara
  | tameiki wa tsukanai
  | fui ni kanashimi wa yatte-kuru kedo
  | nakayoku natte miseru wa
  | ...datte yakusoku yo
  I'm OK. Because happiness sneaks in
  through cracks in my fractured heart,
  I won't sigh.
  Suddenly, sadness comes around, but
  I'll make friends with it,
  ...because it's a promise.
  
  | heiki namida ga kawaita ato ni wa
  | yume e no tobira ga aru no
  | nayandecha yukenai
  | sou yo yasashiku tomodachi
  | mukaeru you ni warau wa
  | ...kitto yakusoku yo
  I'm OK. After the tears have dried,
  there's a door to a dream;
  I mustn't worry.
  That's right, I'll simply
  smile, just like I'm welcoming a friend.
  ...It's a promise, for sure.
  
  | fui ni kanashimi wa yatte-kuru kedo
  | nakayoku natte miseru wa
  | ...datte yakusoku yo
  Suddenly, sadness comes around, but
  I'll make friends with it,
  ...because it's a promise.
