The lyrics of the song "Happy Days" by 大 talk about how being with someone special can make you feel happy and strong. The singer considers how their partner's presence can make them kinder (yasashiku nareru) or give them energy (genki ni nareru). Similarly, the singer imagines that if they work hard (ganbattetara) and support others (mimamotte kuretari), they will be able to change and grow, even if it means facing obstacles (doji wo fundari shite). The imagery in the song highlights how the simple things in life, like feeling the wind on your face or humming a tune, can bring joy despite the difficulties.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "happy days," suggesting that the singer is grateful for the moments of joy in their life. Additionally, the chorus emphasizes the importance of being together (futari de) and connecting with others (te wo tsunaide iru), whether through shared memories (omoide) or shared dreams (yume wo mita yo).
Overall, the song "Happy Days" is a hopeful and cheerful celebration of love and connection that reminds listeners to appreciate the small joys in life.
