Utada Hikaru - Deep River Lyrics

[Romanized:]

Ten to ten wo tsunagu you ni
Sen wo egaku yubi ga nazoru no wa
Watashi no kita michi soretomo ikisaki

Sen to sen wo musubu futari
Yagate minna umi ni tadori tsuki
Hitotsu ni naru kara kowaku nai keredo

Oh oh ikutsu mono kawa wo nagare
Wake mo kikazu ni
Ataerareta namae to tomo ni
Oh oh subete wo uke ireru nante
Shinakute ii yo
Watashitachi no itami ga ima tobi datta

Ken to ken ga butsukari au oto wo
Shiru tame ni takusareta ken ja nai yo
Sonna mujun de dare wo mamoreru no

Oh oh nando mo sugata wo kaete
Watashi no mae ni mai orita anata wo
Kyou wa sagashiteru
Oh oh doko demo uke irerare you to
Shinaide ii yo
Jibun rashisa to iu tsurugi wo mina sazukatta

Oh oh toki ni wa nagare wo kaete
Nanimo motazu ni
Ataerareta namae to tomo ni
Oh oh subete wo uke ireru nante
Shinakute ii yo
Shiokaze ni mukai toritachi ga ima tobi datta

[Japanese:]

点と点をつなぐように
線を描く指がなぞるのは
私の来た道それとも行き先

線と線を結ぶ二人
やがてみんな海に辿り着き
ひとつになるから怖くないけれど

いくつもの河を流れ
わけも聞かずに
与えられた名前とともに
全てを受け入れるなんて
しなくていいよ
私たちの痛みが今飛び立った

剣と剣がぶつかり会う音を
知る為に託された剣じゃないよ
そんな矛盾で誰を守れるの

何度も姿を変えて
私の前に舞い降りたあなたを
今日は探してる
どこでも受け入れられようと
しないでいいよ
自分らしさというツルギを皆授かった

時には流れを変えて
何も持たずに
与えられた名前とともに
全てを受け入れるなんて
しなくていいよ
潮風に向かい鳥たちが今飛び立った

[English translation:]

Connecting point to point
Drawing lines with my finger
Is the road I've came down my true destination?

Line to line, we link together
Before long, everyone arrives at the sea
And will become one, that's why I'm not scared

Oh oh, flowing through
Countless rivers
You don't have to accept everything
Oh oh, with the name you're given
Without ever asking 'why'?
Our pain just now flew away

We weren't entrusted with swords
Just so we'd know how they sound when they clash
Who can protect you from this kind of contradiction?

Oh oh, you change shape so many times
Floating down before me
Today I'm looking for you
Oh oh, you don't have to be accepted
Everywhere, everyone was blessed with a blade
Called "individuality"

Oh oh, sometimes the riverflow changes
You don't have to accept everything
Oh oh, with the name you're given
Without having anything
The birds facing against the
Sea breeze just flew away
