想い出のバラード ♥ Omoide no Barādo ♥ A Ballad to Remember

何気なくつけてたラジオから

Nanigenaku tsukete'ta rajio kara

I happened to turn on the radio

ふと懐かしいメロディ

futo natsukashii merodi

when out came this old melody I used to know.

本当に久しぶりなのに

Hontō ni hisashiburi na no ni

Even though it was a really long time ago,

さらりと歌えるもんだね

sarari to utaeru mon da ne

I find I can sing along smoothly.

すりきれる程聴いた　アルバムたち

Surikireru hodo kiita arubamu-tachi

The albums that I wore out listening to

今ごろ押入れの片隅で　山積みになってる

imagoro oshiire no katasumi de yamazumi ni natte'ru

nowadays are piled up in a nook in the closet.

懐かしい思い出と　心地いい音

Natsukashii omoide to kokochiii oto

Nostalgic memories and pleasant sounds.

思わずとび出す　思い出し笑い

Omowazu tobidasu omoidashiwarai

Reminiscing I suddenly burst out laughing.

帰ったらまた　封を開けてみよう

Kaettara mata fū o akete miyō

When I get home I'll get it out of its cover again.

心に風がふいた

Kokoro ni kaze ga fuita

A wind blew in my heart.

♫

♫

♫

押入れの隅の大きな箱

Oshiire no sumi no ōkina hako

A big box in the corner of the closet

ホコリで思わずむせる

hokori de omowazu museru

suddenly makes me choke with dust.

少しだけ湿ったカビ臭さと

Sukoshi dake shimetta kabikusasa to

The musty smell that's a touch damp

懐かしい紙のにおい

natsukashii kami no nioi

and paper with a nostalgic scent to it.

日に焼けて色褪あせた　ジャケット見ながら

Hi ni yakete iroaseta jaketto minagara

While looking at the cover, its colour faded by the sun,

くたびれたあのラジカセの　スイッチを入れる

kutabireta ano rajikase no suitchi o ireru

I switch on that tired old radio-cassette player.

あふれ出す思い出と　変わらない音

Afuredasu omoide to kawaranai oto

Overflowing memories and the sound that doesn't change.

思わず出てくる　苦い記憶

Omowazu dete kuru nigai kioku

Suddenly a bitter memory comes to me.

あの頃はまだ　わからなかった詞うたが

Ano koro wa mada wakaranakatta uta ga

A song that I hadn't know yet in those days

少し心にしみた

sukoshi kokoro ni shimita

touched my heart a bit.

♫

♫

♫

懐かしい思い出と　心地いい音

Natsukashii omoide to kokochiii oto

Nostalgic memories and pleasant sounds.

やっぱり出てくる　アイツの事

Yappari dete kuru aitsu no koto

No surprise, thoughts about that person come to me.

あの頃の自分に戻れた気がして

Ano koro no jibun ni modoreta ki ga shite

Feeling like I returned to what I was like then,

何度もくり返す･･･

nando mo kurikaesu …

I'll play it over and over …

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah!

想い出のバラード

Omoide no barādo

A ballad to remember.
