Jpop Recommend #22 Lullaby by Daichi Miura

Lullaby 

三浦 大知 Daichi Miura


Released in December 2010, this song is his 10th single.  He started his career as a singer at the age of nine when he joined a singer/dancer group, Folder in 1997. After an interval due to his voice change, he came back as a singer Daichi Miura again in 2004. 


One of his greatest talents is his dance.  He sings really well and his dance is superb.  The PV of this song reminds me of "Infinite Gratitude" by Rene Magritte, a Belgian surrealist painter.  Enjoy his choreography as well!

Oh tonight 

こんな    夜    は  きっと 誰も        が

Konna yoru wa kitto daremo  ga
On a night like this, I bet no one
君      を  責めたり   は   しないよ 
Kimi wo semetari wa shinaiyo
will blame you

Don't be sad

Just sleep tight
 
疲れ       きった 心        休め

Tsukare kitta kokoro yasume
Rest your burnt-out soul
目   を 閉じて 

Me wo tojite
and close your eyes

I will put you to bed


明日    に  なる  頃

Ashita ni naru koro
When tomorrow comes,
必ず          昨日   より  も
Kanarazu kinou yori mo 
surely better than yesterday
傷     は   少し       癒える
Kizu wa sukoshi ieru
your wound will heal

I'm here to guide through the night

夢        の  合間 聴こえる Lullaby
Yume no aima kikoeru   lullaby
While dreaming you will hear lullaby
数えた       羊         奔る     無重力       の  Sky
Kazoeta hitsuji hashiru mujyuryoku no sky
Counted sheep are running the sky in zero gravity
ここち    いい rhyme  奏でる       Lullaby
Kokochi ii   rhyme   kanaderu lullaby
Lullaby plays a soothing rhyme
雲        の 丘  を 越えた 先 見える
Kumo no oka wo koeta saki mieru
Over the hill of clouds there will be
懐かしい    笑顔  に 手 を  振り
Natsukashii egao ni te wo furi
the familiar smiles. You will wave your hand

"They're watching over me"

心         強い    気持ち   で  目覚める
Kokoro zuyoi kimochi de mezameru
and wake up feeling reassured

Watching over you...
So tonight you're not alone

君     へ の Lullaby
Kimi e no lullaby
This is a lullaby for you

Oh tonight 


こんな    夜   の   こと  も   もうすぐ
Konna yoru no koto mo mousugu
Soon even about the night like this
笑いながら        話す     日 が くる
Warainagara hanasu hi ga kuru
a day will come when you can laugh it over

Don't you worry baby
Remember? 

あの  時   も    もう   ダメ   だって
Ano toki mo mou dame datte
There was once a time when you said it's over
言いながら  ここまで     来た
Iinagara   kokomade kita
and yet you have come to this far
明日    に  なる  頃
Ashita ni naru koro
When tomorrow comes,
必ず          昨日   より  も
Kanarazu kinou yori mo 
surely better than yesterday
霧    は   少し      晴れる
Kiri wa sukoshi hareru
a fog will start to clear up

I'm here to guide through the night

耳       すましたら      聴こえる Lullaby
Mimi sumashitara kikoeru   lullaby
If you listen carefully, you will hear the lullaby
壊れた       汽車  が  走る        時空 の  隙間
Kowareta kisya ga hashiru jikuu no sukima
In-betweein space time where a broken train runs
やわらかい  time 流れる      Lullaby
Yawarakai time nagareru lullaby
As comfy time passes with lullaby
天の川           の   向こう岸       広がる
Amanogawa no mukougishi hirogaru
there is an open space across the Milky Way
美しい     世界   を  垣間見、
Utsukushii sekai wo kaimamiru
Having watched a glimpse of beautiful world

Back to where you should be

また     新しい      一日     迎える
Mata atarasii ichinichi mukaeru
A start of another brand new day will come


To a brand new day...
Every night you're not alone

君    へ の Lullaby.
Kimi e no lullaby
This is a lullaby for you


明後日   も 明々後日   でも
Asatte mo Shiasatte demo
On the day after tomorrow or the day after that
独り     の 時     も 誰か      が 周り       に いる 時   でも
Hitori no toki mo dareka ga mawari ni iru  toki demo
If you are alone or somebody is with you

You're always workin' it

いつも    全力        に  生きる 姿          を  見てる  から
Itsumo zenryoku ni ikiru   sugata wo miteru kara
I have been watching you always giving your fullest


Baby sleep tight, I'll sing you a Lullaby

夢        の  合間 聴こえる Lullaby

While dreaming you will hear lullaby
数えた       羊         奔る     無重力       の  Sky
