kanji & kana

    世界の遠い場所から
    楽しげな声がする
    子どもたちがみんなで
    遊んでる声だ

    言葉も肌の色も
    ここからわからないけど
    大きな笑い声に
    心も晴れる

    その輪の中の一人が
    言い出したらしい
    あの海の向こう側に
    同じ青空　そう見上げてる
    友達がいると…

    誰かが投げたそのボールを
    ねえ　キャッチしてあげよう
    信じているんだ
    知らんぷりはできない
    僕らが何もしなければ
    ボールはころころと
    転がり続けて
    寂しさ知るだけ

    時には風に運ばれ
    悲しげな声がする
    つらいことに出逢って
    泣いたのだろうか？

    理由や状況とか
    何もわからないけど
    孤独に耐えていると
    想像できる

    もしどうしても涙が
    止まらないなら
    その海にさあ向かって
    大きな声で想いのすべて
    叫んでごらんよ

    誰かが投げたその言葉
    受け止める人がいる
    君が思うより
    この世界はやさしい
    僕らはどんな時だって
    耳をそばだてて
    小さな声でも
    追いかけるつもりだ

    LOVE
    そのボールを投げろ
    そんなに
    心配をしないで
    失くさないよ
    まず最初に
    自分が愛してみよう
    絶対に
    見知らぬ人
    そのボールを
    返してくれる
    君はここにいる

    誰かが投げたその言葉
    受け止める人がいる
    君が思うより
    この世界はやさしい

    誰かが
    誰かが
    誰かが投げたそのボールを
    ねえ　キャッチしてあげよう
    信じているんだ
    知らんぷりはできない
    僕らが何もしなければ
    ボールはころころと
    転がり続けて
    寂しさ知るだけ

    世界の遠い場所から
    楽しげな声がする
    地球上の命が脈を打つ声だ

english translation

    From a distant place in the world
    Comes happy voices
    Children are playing
    They sound like they're having fun

    From here I can't make out
    The words or the color of their skin
    But their enthusiastic voices
    Brighten my heart

    One child among that group
    Seems to have said
    There's a friend
    Across that wide ocean
    Looking up at the same sky we are...

    Hey, shouldn't we catch the ball
    That someone threw?
    I believe in it
    I can't pretend I didn't see it
    If we ignore
    All the balls
    That keep rolling toward us
    All we'll know is loneliness

    Sometimes I hear sad voices
    Carried on the wind
    Could it be they're crying
    After meeting with some misfortune?

    I don't know anything
    About their reasons or circumstances
    But I can picture them
    Enduring it all alone

    If the tears won't stop
    No matter what
    Then face towards that ocean
    And shout out in a loud voice
    Everything you feel

    There are people who will receive
    The words that someone set adrift
    This world is kinder
    Than you think
    We are always listening
    Straining our ears
    Planning to follow
    Even the faintest voice

    LOVE
    Throw that ball
    You don't have to
    Worry so much
    I won't lose you
    But first
    Try to love yourself
    And surely
    Someone you don't know
    Will return
    That ball to you
    You're right here

    There are people who will receive
    The words that someone set adrift
    This world is kinder
    Than you think

    Someone
    Someone
    Hey, shouldn't we catch the ball
    That someone threw?
    I believe in it
    I can't pretend I didn't see it
    If we ignore
    All the balls
    That keep rolling toward us
    All we'll know is loneliness

    From a distant place in the world
    Comes happy voices
    The voices of life pulsing over the Earth
