Kayoko Yoshizawa (吉澤嘉代子) - Memory Romaji Lyrics
Romanized Lyrics
Kaban no naka ni okashi to daisuki na hon wo shimatte
Oshaberi na usagi wo daite himitsu no tabi ni deru no
Keyakimichi wo nukeru to kanata ni wa shirokobato
Jiorama no machi wo tobu chiisana majo datta
Tatta hitotsu no omoide wo mamoritsuzukete ikite ikeru
Yasashii namida ga nagarete yagate unga ni tsunagaru you ni
Yatto mitsukeru no
Watashi no hontou no namae wo
Mabuta wo tojita ra kyou wo wasurete shimau no kana
Sabishii toki no mahou mo iranaku naru no kana
Sakurasou ga yureru to matataita midori shijimichou
Hate no nai hakoniwa ni saigo no kisetsu ga kita
Tatta hitotsu no omoide wo mamoritsuzukete ikite ikeru
Tsumetai hikari ga sosoide yagate shinra ni tsunagaru you ni
Yatto mitsukeru no
Watashi no hontou no namae wo
Tatta hitotsu no yakusoku wo tonaetsuzukete ikite ikeru
Kasumigakatta kakehashi ga ima kokyou ni tsunagaru you ni
Yatto mitsuketa no
Watashi no hontou no namae wo
English Lyrics
Tucked in my bag, some sweets and my favorite book
Holding a chattering rabbit, on a secret journey I look
Past the zelkova-lined path, and there in the distance, see
A little white dove, like a tiny witch, flying over a diorama city
Cherishing just one memory, it's how I can keep going on
Like gentle tears that flow, until to a canal they're drawn
I will finally find it
My own, my truly real name
If I close my eyes, I wonder, will today just fade from sight?
And the magic I use for lonely times, will I no longer need its light?
Where primroses swayed, a green hairstreak butterfly took to the air
In this miniature garden with no end, the very last season is there
Cherishing just one memory, it's how I can keep going on
Like a cool, clear light that pours on down, till to all creation it's drawn
I will finally find it
My own, my truly real name
Upholding just one promise, chanting it, I can keep going on
Like a misty bridge that's forming now, leading to where I truly belong
I have finally found it
My own, my truly real name
Japanese Lyrics
鞄の中にお菓子と大好きな本を仕舞って
お喋りな兎を抱いて秘密の旅に出るの
欅道を抜けると彼方には白小鳩
ジオラマの街を飛ぶ小さな魔女だった
たった一つの思い出を守り続けて生きていける
やさしい涙が流れてやがて運河に繋がるように
やっと見つけるの
わたしのほんとうの名前を
瞼をとじたら今日を忘れてしまうのかな
寂しいときの魔法も要らなくなるのかな
桜草が揺れると瞬いた緑小灰蝶
果てのない箱庭に最後の季節が来た
たった一つの思い出を守り続けて生きていける
つめたい光が注いでやがて森羅に繋がるように
やっと見つけるの
わたしのほんとうの名前を
たった一つの約束を唱え続けて生きていける
霞がかった架け橋がいま故郷に繋がるように
やっと見つけたの
わたしのほんとうの名前を
