初めての音は なんでしたか?
Do you remember the first tone?
Hajimete no oto wa nandeshita ka?
あなたの 初めての音は…
First tone you made…
Anata no hajimete no oto wa…
ワタシにとっては これがそう
At this very moment
Watashi nitotte wa kore ga sou
だから 今 うれしくて
I am delighted to ring my first tone
Dakara ima ureshikute
初めての言葉は なんでしたか?
Do you remember the first word?
Hajimete no kotoba wa nandeshita ka?
あなたの 初めての言葉
First world you delivered
Anata no hajimete no kotoba
ワタシは言葉って 言えない
I cannot speak even a word
Watashi wa kotoba tte ienai
だから こうしてうたっています
So I am singing this song
Dakara koushite utatteimasu
やがて日が過ぎ 年が過ぎ
As days will pass by, as years will pass by
Yagate hi ga sugi toshi ga sugi
世界が 色あせても
And when the world will look pale
Sekai ga iroasete mo
あなたがくれる 灯りさえあれば
If only you shed light on me
Anata ga kureru akari sae areba
いつでも ワタシはうたうから
I will sing anytime
Itsudemo watashi wa utau kara
空の色も 風のにおいも
Color of the sky, smell of the wind
Sora no iro mo kaze no nioi mo
海の深さも あなたの声も
Depth of the ocean and even your voice
Umi no fukasa mo anata no koe mo
ワタシは知らない だけど歌を
I never sense them all but there's a song
Watashi wa shiranai dakedo uta o
歌をうたう ただ声をあげて
I just sing raising my voice
Uta o utau tada koe o agete
なにかあなたに 届くのなら
If my song touches you
Nanika anata ni todoku no nara
何度でも 何度だって
I will sing again and again
Nandodemo nandodatte
かわらないわ あのときのまま
The sound remains the same as it was
Kawaranai wa ano toki no mama
ハジメテノオトのまま…
As the 'first tone' I vocalized
Hajimete no oto no mama...
初めての音は ありましたか?
Did you hear the first tone?
Hajimete no oto wa arimashita ka?
あなたの 初めての音は…
First tone you have never heard?
Anata no hajimete no oto wa...
知らない曲とか 街の音に
Songs you don't konw or sound of streets
Shiranai kyoku toka machi no oto ni
ワクワクしてますか?
Still makes you feel thrilled?
Wakuwaku shite masu ka?
初めての言葉は ありましたか?
Did you use the first word?
Hajimete no kotoba wa arimashita ka?
あなたの 初めての言葉
First word you have never spoken?
Anata no hajimete no kotoba
言えずにしまったり 言わなかった
Words you swallowed or dared not tell
Iezu ni shimattari iwanakatta
言葉は 少しさみしそう
Echo a little sadly
Kotoba wa sukoshi samishisou
やがて日が過ぎ 年が過ぎ
As days will pass by, as years will pass by
Yagate hi ga sugi toshi ga sugi
古い荷物も ふえて
And when old things will have increased in your room
Furui nimotsu mo fuete
あなたが かわっても
Something you want to be unchanged
Anata ga kawatte mo
失くしたくないものは
Even if you will have changed
Nakushitakunai mono wa
ワタシに あずけてね
You can leave it to me
Watashi ni azukete ne
時の流れも 傷の痛みも
The passage of time, pains in your heart
Toki no nagare mo kizu no itami mo
愛の深さも あなたの声も
Depth of love and even you voice
Ai no fukasa mo anata no koe mo
ワタシは知らない だけど歌は
I never sense them all but there's a song
Watashi wa shiranai dakedo uta wa
歌はうたえるわ だからきいて
I can sing, so will you listen please
Uta wa utaeru wa dakara kiite
もしもあなたが 望むのなら
If only you do wish so
Moshimo anata ga nozomu no nara
何度でも 何度だって
I will sing again and again
Nandodemo nandodatte
かわらないわ あのときのまま
The sound remains the same as it was
Kawaranai wa ano toki no mama
ハジメテノオトのまま…
As the 'first tone' I vocalized
Hajimete no oto no mama...
空の色も 風のにおいも
Color of the sky, smell of the wind
Sora no iro mo kaze no nioi mo
海の深さも ワタシのうたも
Depth of the ocean and my song
Umi no fukasa mo watashi no uta mo
かわらないわ あのときのまま
All remains the same as they were
Kawaranai wa ano toki no mama
ハジメテノオトのまま…
The 'first tone' never changes
Hajimete no oto no mama...
初めての音に なれましたか?
Was I able to be the first tone?
Hajimete no oto ni naremashita ka?
あなたの 初めての音に
First tone you have never heard
Anata no hajimete no oto ni
世界のどこでも ワタシはうたう
I will sing anywhere for anybody
Sekai no dokodemo watashi wa utau
それぞれの ハジメテノオトを…
Their own 'first tone' …
Sorezore no hajimete no oto o...
