夕焼けに小さくなる くせのある歩き方
ずっと手をふり 続けていたいひと

風に乗り飛んで来た はかない種のような
愛はやがて来る 冬を越えてゆく

きみはダンデライオン
傷ついた日々は 彼に出逢うための
そうよ運命が用意してくれた
大切なレッスン
今素敵なレディになる

つみとってささげたら ひとに笑われそうな
私にできる全てをうけとって

ふるさとの両親が よこす手紙のような
ぎこちないぬくもりほど 泣きたくなる

きみはダンデライオン
本当の孤独を今まで知らないの
とても幸せな 淋しさを抱いて
これから歩けない
私はもうあなたなしで

とても幸せな 淋しさを抱いて
これから歩けない
私はもうあなたなしで

Yuuyake ni chiisaku naru kuse no aruaruki kata
Zutto te wo furi tsuzukete itai hito

Kaze ni noritonde kita hakanai tane no you na
Ai wa yagate kuru fuyu wo koete yuku

Kimi wa DANDERAION
Kizutsuita hibi wa kare ni deau tame no
Sou yo unmei ga youi shite kureta
Taisetsu na RESSUN
Ima suteki na REDI ni naru

Tsumitotte sasagetara hito ni waraware sou na
Watashi ni dekiru subete wo uketotte

Furusato no ryoushin ga yokosu tegami no you na
Gikochinai nukumori hodo nakitaku naru

Kimi wa DANDERAION
Hontou no kodoku wo ima made shiranai no
Totemo shiawase na sabishisa wo daite
Kore kara arukenai
Watashi wa mou anata nashi de

Totemo shiawase na sabishisa wo daite
Kore kara arukenai
Watashi wa mou anata nashi de

Translation

 

You grow smaller in the sunset, with that odd way you have of walking
You're someone I wish I could always keep waving to

Like a fragile seed that came riding in on the wind
Love comes eventually to make it through the winter

You are a dandelion
Those days of hurt were so you could meet him
Yes, they were an important lesson
That fate prepared for you
Now you'll become a lovely lady

Though when I pluck it up and offer it, it may seem laughable
Take everything I have to give

Like the letters sent from your folks back home
The more awkward the warmth, the more you feel like crying

You are a dandelion
You've never known true loneliness before
Embracing a very happy solitude
I can't walk anymore
Not without you

Embracing a very happy solitude
I can't walk anymore
Not without you
