日本語詩 / Japanese Lyrics

- 笑顔の魔法 -

夜空を見上げた君の瞳に 

大粒の涙が光る

きらめく星も 静かな月も 

にじんで見えない 今の君には

 

だから 笑顔の魔法をこめて 君にふれよう

夜を鮮やかに彩る

笑顔の花火が咲くように

 

 

ふいに耳をかすめた誰かの言葉が 

君の心を寂しくゆらす

柔らかな風も 優しい香りも

君の心に届かず 通り過ぎてく

 

だから 笑顔の魔法をこめて 君と話そう

笑顔の魔法をこめて 君と歩こう

どんな雨の中でも

どんな冷たい風の中でも

どんな思いや言葉の中でも

君の笑顔が咲いていてほしいから

 

笑顔の魔法をこめて 君に歌おう

夜を鮮やかに彩る

笑顔の花火が咲くように

笑顔の魔法をずっと 君に届けたい

どんな暗闇も美しく彩る

笑顔の花火が見たいから


English Translation / 英語訳

- The Magic of A Smile -

I see you look up at the night sky

with tears in your eyes.

The sparkling stars and silent silver moon are blurred,

so you cannot see them now.

 

Casting the magic of a smile, I hold you

so that you will smile brightly,

just as fireworks bloom in the night.

 

 

I feel your heart, shaken

sadly by harsh words.

Gentle winds and subtle scents

have failed to reach your heart.

 

Casting the magic of a smile, I talk to you.

Casting the magic of a smile, I walk with you.

However hard the rain may fall,

however cold the wind may blow,

however harsh other’s words and feelings may be,

I wish you always to have a smile on your face.

 

With the magic of a smile, I sing to you,

so that you will smile brightly,

just as fireworks bloom in the night.

I wish that I could always cast you the magic of a smile,

because I want to see you smile brightly,

just as fireworks bloom in the night.
