The day you were born,
I jumped on a plane,
The winter was mild,
Heading to Miyazaki.

It was a clear noon,
I held your mom's hand tight,
She winced in pain.

Then came the moment of joy,
Holding our little treasure,
I kissed her gently.

ただ　ただ　愛しくて　

The day you were born,
I was so startled,
Holding my daughter close,
I trembled in the hospital hallway in Miyazaki.

I felt so helpless,
For the first time, I prayed to God.

Then came the moment of joy,
Holding our little treasure,
I kissed her gently.

ただ　ただ　愛しくて

You grew up in Tokyo,
Amongst all the crowds,
Crossing paths with many,
But you’re always our child.

Even as you grow up,
Our love never changes,
Fly free, we are watching over you.

ただ　ただ　愛しくて

You sing songs of friendship,
Found something special in Kanagawa,
Now spread your wings without fear,
And fly out into the world.

You will always be,
Our irreplaceable treasure,
No matter what challenges lie ahead,
You have the strength to overcome them.

愛しくて　何もかもが愛しくて
ただ　ただ　愛しくて
