椎名林檎 – 幸福論

Ringo Sheena – A View of Happiness     

When I sought true happiness,  

I came to want to love someone and be loved by that person  

Just like we do not expect anything from the flow of the times or the color of the sky,  

I just dedicate my energy to you, who cry and smile as you are,  

While understanding your strengths and weaknesses you often hide  

True happiness has not been reflected on my eyes, so

I have not noticed it, although it has always existed beside me

Realizing that what my fingers that became numb with cold desire is 

your hand I’m familiar with,

I won’t save any effort to protect all of your melodies, philosophies, and words

Just like we do not expect anything from the flow of the times or the color of the sky,

I love you, who cry and smile as you are, hence

I will keep protecting all of your melodies, philosophies, and words to the end

I feel happy just because you live there
