Kanji

 

メモリー
仰ぎ見て月を
思い出を辿り
歩いて行けば
出逢えるわ
幸せの姿に
新しい 命に

メモリー
月明かりの中
美しく去った
過ぎし日を思う
忘れない
その幸せの日々
思い出よ 還れ

街の灯は消え去り
夜の終わりが
古き日は去り行きつつ
夜明けが近づく

デイライト
夜明けとともに
新たな命を
日はもう昇る
この夜を思い出に渡して
明日に向かうの

木洩れ陽は輝き
光があふれる
花のように朝が開く
思い出は去る

お願い
私にさわって
私を抱いて
光とともに

わかるわ
幸せの姿が
ほら見て 明日が

Orig. Lyrics

 

Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember
The time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Every streetlamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn't give in
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning

Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun

If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
