English Translation
do you remember the first tone ?
first tone you made…
at this very moment
I am delighted to ring my first tone
do you remember the first word ?
first world you delivered
I cannot speak even a word
So I am singing this song
as days will pass by
as years will pass by
and when the world will look pale
if only you shed light on me
I will sing anytime
color of the sky, smell of the wind
depth of the ocean and even your voice
I never sense them all but there's a song
I just sing raising my voice
if my song touches you
I will sing again and again
the sound remains the same as it was
as the 'first tone' I vocalized
did you hear the first tone ?
first tone you have never heard ?
songs you don't konw or sound of streets
still makes you feel thrilled ?
did you use the first word ?
first word you have never spoken ?
words you swallowed or dared not tell
echo a little sadly
as days will pass by
as years will pass by
and when old things will have increased in your room
something you want to be unchanged
even if you will have changed
you can leave it to me
the passage of time, pains in your heart
depth of love and even you voice
I never sense them all but there's a song
I can sing, so will you listen please
if only you do wish so
I will sing again and again
the sound remains the same as it was
as the 'first tone' I vocalized
color of the sky, smell of the wind
depth of the ocean and my song
all remains the same as they were
the 'first tone' never changes
was I able to be the first tone ?
first tone you have never heard
I will sing anywhere for anybody
their own 'first tone' …
