kanji & kana

    去年のことを思い出す度
    涙が出るよ
    あの大晦日
    小さな部屋に一人ぼっち

    そう友達は仕事していて
    忙しそうで
    コンビニで買ったおでん食べながら
    紅白を観てた

    大勢の若いアイドルが歌ってる
    踊っている
    私はどうしてここにいる?

    ふいに涙
    溢れ出して
    頬を伝う
    そのぬくもり
    自分でさえ
    あんなに泣いてた理由(わけ)
    今でもわからない

    田舎の母に
    帰らないこと
    電話してたら
    遠い空から除夜の鐘に叱られたんだ

    今年こそ　絶対　あの場所に立っている
    笑っている
    私は自分に約束しよう

    この思いを
    胸に秘めて
    命懸(いのちが)けで
    やるしかない
    あの屈辱
    一緒に悔しがった
    みんなが微笑むまで

    ふいに涙
    溢れ出して
    頬を伝う
    そのぬくもり
    自分でさえ
    あんなに泣いてた理由(わけ)
    今でもわからない

english translation

    Every time I remember last year
    I start to cry
    That December 31st
    I was all alone in my small room

    All my friends were working
    They seemed so busy
    I watched Kouhaku
    While eating stew I bought at a convenience store

    There were a lot of young idols singing
    And dancing
    So why am I here?

    Suddenly tears
    Spilled over
    I felt their warmth
    On my cheeks
    Even now
    I don't know
    Why I cried like that

    I didn't go visit
    My mother in the countryside
    When I called her
    From far off, I was scolded by the New Year's temple bell

    This year for sure
    I'll stand and smile in that place
    I'll promise this to myself

    Hiding these feelings
    In my heart
    Staking my life on this
    I have to do it
    We shared our bitterness
    Over our disappointment
    Until everyone was smiling again

    Suddenly tears
    Spilled over
    I felt their warmth
    On my cheeks
    Even now
    I don't know
    Why I cried like that
