Happy Birthday
Kiroro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

遠い場所にある太陽のように
まぶしくて 大きくて 強い光に
少しでも近づけるように
なれたらいいなってずっと思ってた
まさかこんなふうに出会えるなんて
想像もできなかった
ふれると火傷して
しまうんじゃないかと
ちょっぴり怖かったけれど
太陽は優しく私を包んでくれた
すごくうれしかった
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You
私も太陽のように
輝けるように頑張るから
負けないから見守っていてね

私が今ここで生きてる事の
意味とか理由(わけ)なんて
わからないけど
何気なく心の奥に
咲いている小さな花見つけた
まさかこんなふうに変われるなんて
想像もできなかった
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
私も太陽のように
輝けるように頑張るから
負けないから見守っていてね
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You
心から Happy Birthday to You

Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You...
La...
Na... yeah... la...
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You
心から Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday




Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to You

Overall Meaning

Kiroro's "Happy Birthday" is a beautiful tribute to the sun, its warmth and light. The song's opening lines describe the sun as a distant place that emanates a strong and radiant light that they wish they could approach. The lyrics then express their surprise and gratitude for being able to come across such a wonderful light. This is followed by a metaphor of the sun as a kind and gentle person who envelops them and makes them happy, despite initial fear of getting burnt. The song then turns to the singer's introspection, as they admit not knowing the meaning and reason for their existence but finding solace in a small flower blooming in their heart. The song ends with a repetition of the "Happy Birthday" chorus, with the singer dedicating the song to the sun and promising to shine and not lose.


The song, therefore, can be interpreted as a celebration of life and its intrinsic connections to nature. The sun represents the source of everything that sustains us, while the small flower could symbolize the human desire for meaning and purpose. Through the vocals and melody of "Happy Birthday," Kiroro conveys the message of gratitude and resilience as an answer to life's big questions.
