Present

Romaji

'Shiranai' to iu kotoba no imi machigaete ita nda
shiranaihito no koto itsunomanika 'kirai' to itte ita yo
nani mo shirazu ni shirou to moshi nakatta hito no koto
dōshite 'kirai' nante itta nodarou nagasa rete ita nda

'shiranai' koto wa kowaikara minikui kotoba bakari
hakidashite gomakashite jibun no koto made kirawanaide

hitori botchi ni naritakunai koko ni iteyo
sono kotoba ienakutte kokoro tozasanaide
hitori botchi ni sasenai kara daijōbudayo
sono kotoba kaeseru yō ni tsuyokunaritai

'jinsei' no koto amarini mo mondai bakari okirukara
nanmon kaiketsu puroguramuna no ka to omotte itakeredo
kidzuita nda 'purezento' mitaina monona n date
nanjūnen ka suki ni ikite ī tokubetsuna purezento

dakara tanoshimini shinagara yukkuri aketara yoi nda
jibun jishin ni sono kotoba o okuru yo itsumo wasure chaukara

hitori botchi ni naritakunai koko ni iteyo
sono kotoba ienakutte kokoro tozasanaide
hitori botchi ni sasenai kara daijōbudayo
sono kotoba kaeseru yō ni tsuyokunaritai

ima kimi no iru sekai ga tsurakute naki-sōde mo
sore sae mo 'purezento'datta to waraeru hi ga kanarazu kuru

hitori botchi ni natte kidzuita hontō wa
taisetsunahito ga takusan iru n datte koto ga
hitori botchi ni sasenai kara daijōbudayo sono kotoba kaeseru yō ni tsuyokunaritai

Translation

The meaning of the word "unknown"
Has been mistaken all this while
People who don't know it have started to overlap it with "hate"

Those people who know nothing
And have no wish to try to know
Why do they talk about "hate"?
Circulating it all around

Because the "unknown" is frightening
We spit out ugly words, trying to deceive
So that we won't be disliked

"I don't want to be left alone
Stay here with me"
Unable to speak these words
Please don't close off your heart

"I won't leave you alone
Everything's alright"
So that I can say those words back to you
I want to become strong

"Life" is
Full of problems that arise
So I used to think that we're just problem solving programmes, but

I've realized
Something like the "present"
Is a special present that allows us to live as we like for decades

So I'll look forward to
Slowly opening it up
I'll gift those words to myself
Because I always forget them

"I don't want to be left alone
Stay here with me"
Unable to speak these words
Please don't close off your heart

"I won't leave you alone
Everything's alright"
So that I can say those words back to you
I want to become strong

Even if the world with you now
Is so painful it makes me want to cry
Even that is a "present"
And days of smiles will surely come

Having been left alone
I realized
That there are so many people
Whom I really treasure

"I won't leave you alone
Everything's alright"
So that I can say those words back to you
I want to become strong
