Ayumi Hamasaki - Carols Lyrics

[Romanized:]

Hajimete atta hi wo ima mo oboeteiru?
Tereta you ni kimi wa utsumuite
Me wo sorashite bakari datta ne

Sono shigusa wo totemo itoshiku omou you ni
Natta no wa itsu no goro datta kana
Nanda ka natsukashii ne

Yagate ikutsumo no kisetsu ga
Bokutachi no mae wo ashibaya ni toorinuketa

Shiroi yuki ga machi wo someru goro ni mo
Kimi no soba ni isasete
Watashi korekara mo
Komarasete bakari ka mo shirenai kedo

Yodooshi hanashiteta mirai da to ka ima ga
Amari ni watashi ni wa mabushikute
Toudoku kanjite ita

Itsuka kako wo yuruseru hi ga
Kuru to ii no ni to omottara namida afureta

Shiroi yuki ga tokete machi ga
Azayaka ni irodorareru goro mo
Koushite kimi no koto ga
Daiji de shikata nai watashi de itai

Wakariaenai mama surechigatta hi mo
Namida no hi soshite egao afureru hi mo
Sou donna toki datte
Donna kimi de atte mo
Itsumo uketomeru yo

Shiroi yuki ga machi wo someru goro ni mo
Kimi no soba ni isasete
Watashi korekara mo
Komarasete bakari ka mo shirenai kedo

Shiroi yuki ga tokete machi ga
Azayaka ni irodorareru goro mo
Koushite kimi no koto ga
Daiji de shikata nai watashi de itai

[Japanese:]

初はじめて会あった日ひを　今いまも覚おぼえている?
照てれたように君きみはうつむいて
目めを反そらしてばかりだったね

その仕し草ぐさをとても　愛いとしく思おもうように
なったのはいつの頃ごろだったかな
なんだか懐なつかしいね

やがていくつもの季き節せつが
僕ぼく達たちの前まえを足あし早ばやに通とおり抜ぬけた

白しろい雪ゆきが街まちを染そめる頃ごろにも
君きみの側そばにいさせて
私わたしこれからも
困こまらせてばかりかもしれないけど

夜よ通どおし話はなしてた　未み来らいだとか今いまが
あまりに私わたしには眩まぶしくて
尊とうどく感かんじていた

いつか過か去こを許ゆるせる日ひが
来くるといいのにと思おもったら涙なみだ溢あふれた

白しろい雪ゆきが溶とけて街まちが
鮮あざやかに彩いろどられる頃ごろも
こうして君きみの事ことが
大だい事じで仕し方かたない私わたしでいたい

わかり合あえないまま　すれ違ちがった日ひも
涙なみだの日ひ　そして笑え顔がお溢あふれる日ひも
そうどんな時ときだって
どんな君きみであっても
いつも受うけ止とめるよ

白しろい雪ゆきが街まちを染そめる頃ごろにも
君きみの側そばにいさせて
私わたしこれからも
困こまらせてばかりかもしれないけど

白しろい雪ゆきが溶とけて街まちが
鮮あざやかに彩いろどられる頃ごろも
こうして君きみの事ことが
大だい事じで仕し方かたない私わたしでいたい

[English translation:]

Do you remember the first day we met even now?
You looked abashed, hanging your head
And turning your eyes away

I wonder when such a manner became so dear to me
It makes me feel a little nostalgic
Don't you feel so?

Many seasons have passed by
With quick steps since then

When the white snow colors the city
Let me stay by your side
Though I may bother you
Again and again

We talked overnight about our future and the moments
I felt they were so dazzling
And precious

Tears welled up in my eyes
When I thought it would be nice
That I could forgive my past some day

When the white snow melts
And the city becomes vivid and colorful
I like to keep you closest
To my heart

The days we couldn't understand each other and parted
The days of tears, the days of smiling faces
Whatever may happen and whatever mood you may be in
I'll always accept you

When the white snow colors the city
Let me stay by your side
Though I may bother you
Again and again

When the white snow melts
And the city becomes vivid and colorful
I like to keep you closest
To my heart
