大人の責任 -Grown-Up Responsibilities-

頼まれたから居るわけじゃないよね
分かってる
君は無責任でいいさ

からかわないで　そう言うかも知れないけれど
僕は大真面目さ
本気だよ
これから出会うものはみんな僕ら大人が作った
だけど自分達もいつ大人になったか分からない

窓ガラスを割って怪我をした君
生まれてきてくれてどうもありがとう

あなたにだって人に言えないことはあるよね
僕らを見てたなら
そりゃそうか

悩みなんかもきっと同じくらいあるはず
どうして気付かなかった
ごめんね

勿論どんな事も話してくれれば嬉しいけど
僕らが君にそれを出来なきゃ求めちゃいけないよね

毎晩狂ったように泣いてる君
生まれてきてくれてどうもありがとう

時間が許す限りずっと君の側にいてあげたい
そんな都合のいい話は多分通用しないよね

分からず屋でだけど美しい君
生まれてきてくれてどうもありがとう
スケート場で転んでは起きる君
どうかいつまでも僕の手の中に居て


I know you’re not here because you were called;
You’re happy to have no responsibility, I understand that
You may ask me not to tease you,
But I am being earnest, absolutely serious
Though none of us can say exactly
When we become grown-ups
All of the things you encounter from now on
Were shaped by us adults

When you smashed the window glass and hurt yourself
Thank you so much for being born into this world

I know that there are many things
You can’t discuss with anyone
When you look at us adults,
I really can’t blame you
I’m sure you have a burden of worries too,
I don’t know why I never noticed,
For that I am sorry
Of course I’d be delighted for you to talk
About anything with me,
But you know that we cannot just talk
About everything with you

Every night when you are madly crying your eyes out
Thank you so much for being born into this world

I want to always be at your side
As much as time will allow
But I guess you have no interest in
This self-serving interest of mine

Ignorant in so many ways, but yet so beautiful
Thank you so much for being born into this world
When you rose to your feet after falling off the skateboard
I wish you could remain in my hands forever
