(Blue Sea)

Moritaka Chisato



Romaji English

Umi ga mioroseru sabireta machi de
Chiisana honya wo itonamu kare wa
Kotoshi rokujuugo hitori gurashi wo shite iru

Hayaku okusan wo nakushita kare wa
Hitori nokosareta kawaii musume wo
Daiji ni sodatete kyonen oyome ni dashita no

Totsuida saki wa tooku no machi de
Kare wa hajimete hikouki de itta kedo

Toosugite totemo tsukareta sono ue
Tabemono no aji ga maru de chigatte ita
Kare wa mou nido to koko ni wa hitori de
Kuru koto wa nai darou to
Kokoro ni kimeta kedo sabishikatta

Hitori gurashi ni wa narete kita kedo
Chiisana honya wa kaiten kyuugyou
Kare wa maru ichinichi umi wo minagara kurashita

Sonna aru hi ni kyuu ni musume ga
Issho ni kurasou mise wo shimete kite yo to

Totsuzen no hanashi ni tsui iya da to
Koko de ore wa shinun da to okotta kedo
Musume no nagasu namida ga kotaete
Kare wa mainichi nayanda
Dekiru naraba koko de kurashitai to

Machi wo hanareru hi kare wa kinjo ni
Sugu modotte kuru kara to aisatsu shita
Sore kara shibaraku suru to honya wa
Kowasarete chuushajou ni kawatte ita
Umi ga totemo aoi

In a deserted town with a seaside view
A man runs a little bookshop
Sixty-five years old this year, he lives alone

He lost his wife too young
And raised his beloved daughter by himself
But last year she got married

Her husband's home was far away
And the man took his first plane to visit her

But it was too far and he was exhausted
And the food all tasted wrong
So in his heart he decided he'd never
Come here again alone
But he was sad

He got used to living alone
But his little bookshop saw few customers
And he spent all day just staring at the sea

Then one day his daughter suddenly said
Close the shop and come live with us

It was so sudden, he first got angry
And said no, I'll live here until the day I die
But his daughter's tears wore him down
Every day he worried over it
Saying, I'd like to stay here if I could

When he left the town, he said goodbye to his neighbors
And told them he'd be back soon
But after a while, the bookshop
Was torn down and turned into a parking lot
The sea is very blue
