親泣かせ

産まれて来た時、包まれた光

きっと暖かい窓からの眩しい日差し

実家の近くの坂の産婦人科で

看護婦さん達に祝福されて

産声をあげたら、はいこんにちは

息を吸って始まった長い旅

意識を迎えた瞬間は 覚えてないけれど

さぞかし誇りに思ったんだろうね

女の子は少女に、男なら少年

父の期待、母の愛を存分に貰って

育つ初心な根っこすべて親の汗と

その親の涙の数のおかげと

どの家族にも時に落ちる影

辛い時にこそぐっとこらえ

年を重ね喜びも一入 思い出せ

産まれて来ただけで 親泣かせ

思い出せ、思い出せ みんな

産まれて来ただけで 親泣かせ

産まれて来ただけで

産まれて来ただけ

お子様の身分は何の心配もいらなかった

遊びが仕事、育つことが孝行って

そんなことすら 気にかけることもなく

たまに親の視線を感じるくらいで楽

帰りが遅くなっても家の灯り見えて

ほっとするも束の間、玄関でぎょっとする形相

怒号に言い訳の応戦

まあ、どこにでもある親子の光景

いつも食卓で笑い転げては

お年玉で買った漫画に胸躍らせて

いつか自分の自由が来ると言い聞かせてた

真っ暗な部屋で世界の居場所探してた

宇宙が無限大だなんて誰が隠してた

目が覚めた朝は新鮮だったな

大人になるまで、大人を頼って

子供の丸投げ、ぜんぶ親任せ

思い出せ、思い出せ みんな

大人になるまで、ぜんぶ親任せ

ぜんぶ親任せ

制服を着てから全て変わってしまった

先輩、後輩、試験の連続に狼狽

壁越しに響いて来る低域の声

布団の中、ラジオ聞いてた中学生

頭が切れて生意気だったせいか

先生に呼び出され、冷たい廊下で正座

硝子の天井を押し付けられた結果

反骨の分子が芽を出しちまった

ああ、反抗期と言うほど親は嫌いじゃなかった

ただ自分の事が好きになれてなかったか

自動のエスカレーター、溢れたエレベーターに

魅力を感じたことは、終ぞなかったが

キャンパスですれ違った素敵な彼女は

思わず人生を180度変えたんだ

迷わず女神との暮らしを夢見たら

甘い生活なんてまだ甘いと叱咤され

家を出た瞬間、自立の約束

親に手紙を書いて自己満足

社会人になって資金貯めるような

余裕も猶予も無いし負けじと言うよ

好きな子と今すぐ結ばれたいんだ

恋煩いで毎日がバレンタインか

大事に想われる程 親泣かせ

祈ってもらってるのに 親泣かせ



引き出しの奥に引っ掛かったままの思い出

まるで子供の頃の愛犬との別れ

そんでもって今でも心配をかけて

財布じゃなければ、健康のことで

家庭も持たずに 切れた風船みたいに

世渡り提灯の瘋癲の屋台には

給料袋なし、先の保証はもっとなし

それでも日常の選択は待った無し

声を大にして言いたい、お金じゃないんだよ

地獄の二丁目だって人情の犯科帳

本能で嗅ぎ分け、報酬は山分け

いくら積んでも買えない体験もしたっけ

自分が親になったら 教えたい一心で

同じ過ちを繰り返すな、と力んで

そう思えば色々言われた理由も分かり

守りたくて守れぬもどかしさの代わり

親も人なら、完璧な親はいない筈

なのにこんな子を愛せる人がいる

もしも親が赤子に返っても握る手

そんな日が来てしまう前に絶対

人伝いに知らせを聞いて 親泣かせ

新聞で名前を見付けて 親泣かせ

ラジオで曲が流れて 親泣かせ

嬉し涙で潤ませ 親泣かせ

人伝いに知らせを聞いて 親泣かせ

嬉し涙で滲ませ 親泣かせ

(translation)

the moment you were born, enveloped by light

probably a bright ray from a warm window

hospital near home down the hill

congratulated by nurses

let out a first cry, hello

you took in a breath and began a long journey

you don't remember becoming conscious

but they were so proud of you

female into a girl, male into a boy

receiving hopes of a father and love of a mother

the young root will grow, all from the parents' sweat

and their parents' tears, each drop

every family will have a shadow cast

during hard times, persevere

the older you become, deeper the bliss

so remember

just by you being born

you made your parent cry

remember, remember everybody

just by you being born

you made your parent cry

just by you being born

just being born

being a kid you don't worry about a thing

to play is your job, to grow is to give back

you weren't even aware of that fact

every now and then catch your parent's look, so easy

you come home late and see the lights on,

short relief, a scary face waiting by the door

a shouting match fighting with excuses

oh well, a common scene of a parent and child

always laughing at the dinner table

excited by manga you bought from savings

trusting one day, your freedom will come

looking for your place in the world in a dark room

how come nobody told you that the universe is infinite

waking up in the morning was always fresh

until you become an adult, you depend on one

a child will ask for all from a parent

remember, remember everybody

a child will ask for all from a parent

all from a parent

everything changed for me after putting on a school uniform

upper and lower class, exhausted by series of exams

low voices traveling through the wall

in middle school listening to the radio under covers

maybe I was too smart for my own good

the teacher called me up and made me kneel on the cold hallway

as a result of getting a glass ceiling pressed on the head

a seed of resistance broke through its shell

I didn't have a phase of hating a parent

or maybe I didn't like myself enough then

an smooth escalator, a full elevator

they never appealed to me

but this girl I passed by on campus

turned my life around 180 degrees

without hesitation I dreamt of a life with my goddess

only to be scolded a sweet life is but a dream

so I left home, promised to be on my own

wrote a letter to my parents, who was I kidding

should I get a job and save up

I didn't have the time or patience for that

but I will have to say that

I want a life now with the girl that I love

I'm crazy like everyday is Valentine's

the more they thought of you, you made your parent cry

they pray for you, still made your parent cry

memories stuck in the back of a drawer

like saying bye to your dog as a kid

and you still make them worried sick

if it's not about the wallet, it might be health

yet without family, a balloon with no string

a floating lantern, wandering food truck

there's no salaries, even less guarantees

and our daily operation will pause for none

but let me be clear, money's not everything

in the corners of hell, you'll be judged by character

survive on instincts, split the profits

I've experienced things that you simply can't buy

If I become a parent, I'd only want to protect

and stress they won't repeat the same mistakes I made

that said, now I understand why I was told this and that

a sign of wanting to protect when you know you can't

parents are human too, so no parent can be perfect

but there's someone who loves a child like me

lest one day, they turn back into a baby

I will hold their hand

but before that ever happens I will make certain

hearing the news down the grapevine

make your parent cry

see your name in the papers

make your parent cry

listen to the song on the radio

make your parent cry

with the tears of joy

make your parent cry

hearing the news down the grapevine

make your parent cry

blurred with the tears of joy

make your parent cry
