On Kousuke Atari’s Tane Wo Maku Hibi

I just can’t get enough of Jap-singers… Here is another feel-good song, this time from Kousuke Atari. The title goes ‘Tane Wo Maku Hibi’ (種をまく日々) literally, Days When Seeds are Scattered.

This is the 13th ending theme for the anime Bleach.

Atari is just 3 days older than me, but he looks so young! =(

Romaji – Tane Wo Maku Hibi

itsumo no machi no, itsumo no fuukei ni
MONOKURO no kaze ga, fuite iru
kasuka ni kaoru, tamerai no KAKERA ni
kokoro no doko ka, yurete iru

dakedo itsu demo jibun no shinjite
kawaru jidai no naka, kawarazu ni iretara

tane wo maku hibi ga atte, mizu wo yaru hibi ga atte
itsuka mierunda, kibou to iu me ga
tsumazuita hibi ga atte, mae wo maku hibi ga atte
itsu ka mierunda, michinaru tsubomi ga
ima wa tada, me no mae no michi
yukkuri to susunde yuku

tooku, tooku, tsudzuite yuku
bokura no ikiru michi
kasanari atte, tsunagari atte
itsu ka wa ichimen ni, egao no hana ga saku

tane wo maku hibi ga atte, mizu wo yaru hibi ga atte
itsuka mierunda, bokura no mirai ga
tachidomaru hibi ga atte, kotae sagasu hi ga atte
itsuka waraunda, yasashiku waraunda
ima wa tada, me no mae no michi
bokura wa susunde yuku

English translation

The same scenery of the same street
The monochrome wind is blowing
Faintly fragrant, shards of hesitance
Is swaying somewhere in my heart

But I will always believe in myself
In the changing times, if I can remain unchanged

There are days to sow the seeds, there are days to give them water
Someday I’ll see it, the seeds called hope
There are days you stumble, there are days to move forward
Someday I’ll see it, the flower buds that will become a road
Someday I’ll see it, the road in front of my eyes
Slowly continues

Far away, far away, continuing
Our life’s road
There’s something to lie on, there’s something that connected
Someday it’ll bloom everywhere, the flower of a smiling face

There are days to sow the seeds, there are days to give them water
Someday I’ll see it, our future
There are days to stop, there are days to look for answers
Someday I’ll smile, smile gently
It’s just now, the road in front of my eyes
Slowly continues
