Chanson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kanashii koede akarui utawo utaite ita
Jinsei no uta koi no uta
Ikiteiru yorokobino uta
Machiino hitowa honoemi nagara
Mimi wo katamukeru
Chanson chanson korega chanson
Chanson chanson korega chanson, chanson
Butaini hanasaku utaite ga ita
Laito no shitade setsunaku utawo utatteita
Suterareta uta aino uta
Sugiteyuku koshitsuki no uta
Imademo takusan utaite ga ita
Kokoro wo komete ironna uta wo utatteiru
Tabi ni deru uta fuyu no uta
Shiawase wo matsuhito no uta
Inakunatta utaite hitori koe ga nokorudake
