Translation:
When I get sick I realize,
I realize I have a body
When my nose is stuffed up I know,
I know that I’ve been breathing all along

I’m always making sure
That you truly exist, but
The truth is that we only know how important it is
Once it is already gone

When your out-stretched hand defends
A great earthquake may occur
When your out-stretched hand protects
It may have wanted to protect yourself

I have always been holding
Your dear existence close to me
And it is because I’m afraid
So I don’t want to let go
Lalala…

When I talk to someone I realize,
I realize that I have nothing to say
When I want to line the pieces up I know,
I know that I wanted to speak my feelings

I have always been communicating
To your dear existence this way
In a true expression of gratitude
Saying “Thank you” isn’t enough
Lalala…

Within our clocks,
Just one is fine,
We want a firm grip
We want to send it over

As I watch myself grow old I realize,
I realize that I had a history though it was small
When I think about that I know,
I know that it will someday end

I’m always remembering
Your dear existence
And what I really want is
The part that isn’t just a memory

When I forget about you I remember,
I remember that you had a history
When I lose you I find that memory,
The memory that I once met you

There isn’t enough
For everyone’s existence
And in someone’s world
I will create it

I’m always making sure
That you truly exist, but
Even if existence goes away
It’s always here

Our clocks continue to move,
never stopping
Lalala…

Comments:
This is a nice, warm and heartful song that is full of meaning. I first listened to Bump of Chicken when I was playing the “Tales of the Abyss” RPG, where they cover the main song titled Karma, which is another good song from Bump of Chicken, though I like this one better. This song is very soothing and a lot of people seems to like it too, considering the huge amount of positive reviews this single has received on the Internet. Truly a song that can warm your heart and make you think more about life and its meanings. Sometimes we take our lives for granted, but this song has a lot to say about the importance of the “small things in life”, memories and happiness. When life has passed and your clocks have run up, look back and find the happiness in the memories of small but meaningful little things. A song I would recommend to everyone to listen.
