Jpop Recommend #52 Yozora no mukou by SMAP/Shikao Suga

夜空ノムコウ Yozora no mukou

SMAP / スガシカオ Shikao Suga 


Released in January 1998, this song is a Japanese super idol group, SMAP's 27th single. In 2001, Shikao Suga, who wrote the lyrics also released his own version.


This song made a great hit because it was sung by SMAP and also the lyrics touched the heart of many.  We sometimes stop and reflect on how we have lived and how will we live.  The things won't go as planned and we all experience difficulties in life. In a time like that, this song will console your tired heart and give you an energy to go on.  Because tomorrow already await us...



Shikao Suga & Yui version

あれから  僕     たち は 何か    を  信じて   来れた  かな
Arekara boku tachi wa nanika wo shinjite koreta kana
Since then, have we been able to live up to our faith?
夜空     の   向こう  には 明日  が  もう  待って いる
Yozora no mukou niwa ashita ga mou matte iru
Beyond the night sky, tomorrow is already waiting for us
Wow  Wow

誰か     の  声  に 気付き 僕ら    は  身 を   ひそめた
Dareka no koe ni kizuki bokura wa mi wo hisometa
Hearing someone's voice, we hid ourselves
公園    の  フェンス 越し   に 夜    の  風   が 吹いた
Kouen no fence   goshi ni  yoru no kaze ga fuita
Through the park fence, the night breeze came up
君    が  何か   伝えよう     と 握り   返した   その  手 は
Kimi ga nanika tsutaeyou to nigiri kaeshita sono te wa
The hand you squeezed back as if to tell me something
僕      の  心       の  やらかい 場所    を 今   でも    まだ   締め   付ける
Boku no kokoro no yarakai   basho wo ima demo mada shime tsukeru
keeps squeezing a soft place in my heart even now

あれから 僕      たち   は 何か   を   信じて  来れた かなぁ

Arekara  boku tachi wa nanika wo shinjite koreta kana
Since then, have we been able to live up to our faith?
マド    を  そっと  開けて みる 冬    の  風    の  匂い が した
Mado wo sotto akete   miru fuyu no kaze no nioi ga shita
As I opened the door softly, the air smelled like a winter breeze 
悲しみ      って いつか は 消えて しまう    もの   なの  かなぁ
Kanashimi-tte itsuka wa kiete   shimau mono nano  kana
Will the sadness fade away and disappear some day?
タメ息    は  少し       だけ 白く      残って    すぐ  消えた
Tameiki wa sukoshi dake shiroku nokotte sugu kieta
White plume of my sigh remained only for a moment and disappeared quickly

歩き   出す  事    さえ  も いちいち ためらう   くせ  に

Aruki dasu koto sae mo ichiichi     tamerau kuse ni
I am a man who hesitate to put even one step forward
つまらない    常識        など  潰せる     と  思ってた
Tsumaranai jyoushiki nado tsubuseru to omotteta
but I thought it is easy to defeat foolish common sense 
君    に 話した      言葉     は どれだけ   残って    いるの?
Kimi ni hanashita kotoba wa doredake nokotte iruno?
Of all the words I talked to you, how many of them remain? 
僕     の  心        の 一番     奥   で 空回り          し続ける
Boku no kokoro no ichiban oku de karamawari shitsuzukeru
They go around in circles in the deepest place of my heart

あの   頃   の 未来 に 僕ら     は 立って いる の かなぁ

Ano koro no mirai ni bokura wa tatte  iru  no kana
Are we standing in the future we dreamed in younger days?
すべて   が 思う    ほど うまく    は  いかない みたい だ
Subete ga omou hodo umaku wa ikanai     mitai   da
It looks like everything won't go as perfect as we've hoped after all
このまま       どこ まで     も 日々 は 続いて     いく  の かなぁ
Konomama doko  made mo hibi wa tsuzuite iku    no kana
Will the days continue like this now and forever?
雲      の  ない 星空       が マド   の 向こう    に 続いて   いる
Kumo no nai hoshizora ga mado no mukou ni tsuzuite iru
Over the window, I see the cloudless sky full of stars 

あれから 僕      たち  は 何か    を  信じて   来れた  かな

Arekara  boku tachi wa nanika wo shinjite koreta kana
Since then, have we been able to live up to our faith?
夜空     の  向こう   には もう 明日 が 待って いる
Yozora no mukou niwa mou asu ga matte iru
Over the night sky, tomorrow is already waiting for us

Wow  Wow
