[Pre-Chorus 1]
What is the price of love?
It depends on whose love it is.

[Chorus 1]
Unconditional love
It simply doesn’t exist.
I can understand
Thinking in terms of cost and benefit.

[Verse 2]
Love itself doesn’t require money,
But reaching that love does.
It’s not that the world runs solely on money;
It’s simply a necessary expense.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You can’t buy love with money,
But money helps love flourish.

[Chorus 2]
Unconditional love
It simply doesn’t exist.
I can understand
Thinking in terms of cost and benefit.

[Verse 3]
The garden streetlamp,
The light outside the entrance,
And the light inside the entryway were all on.
She appeared at the front door.

[Pre-Chorus 3]
“Welcome home, darling.
Dinner is already ready,”

[Chorus 3]
Unconditional love
It simply doesn’t exist.
I can understand
Thinking in terms of cost and benefit.

[Bridge]
I asked her, “What do you want?”
She replied, ”A heart full of love.”

[Final Chorus]
Unconditional love
It simply doesn’t exist.
I can understand
Thinking in terms of cost and benefit.

[Outro]

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Fair skin, long black hair, big round eyes
Those physical details don’t matter at all.

[Chorus 1]
You’re like an angel descended to this world,
So dazzling that I find myself captivated.
Everything is fun when I’m with you.
I feel like I can do anything when I’m with you.

[Verse 2]
As long as being together is fun,
It doesn’t matter what others think as long as the time we share is enjoyable,
I don’t care about the eyes of those around us.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
It’s not so much that the world belongs only to us,
But rather that being together is everything.

[Chorus 2]
You’re like an angel descended to this world,
So dazzling that I find myself captivated.
Everything is fun when I’m with you.
I feel like I can do anything when I’m with you.

[Verse 3]
If I could live life twice, I’d choose
To meet you all over again.
If I had a second life, I’d absolutely fall in love with you once more.

[Pre-Chorus 3]
It seems highly likely that would happen; calling it mere “destiny” feels too simple.

[Chorus 3]
You’re like an angel descended to this world,
So dazzling that I find myself captivated.
Everything is fun when I’m with you.
I feel like I can do anything when I’m with you.

[Bridge]
I can’t choose a romantic partner from a crowd,
The moment I make that choice,
I can no longer love anyone else; the one I love becomes my everything.

[Final Chorus]
You’re like an angel descended to this world,
So dazzling that I find myself captivated.
Everything is fun when I’m with you.
I feel like I can do anything when I’m with you.

[Outro]

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Battled the weeds right in front of me
With an electric grass trimmer.

[Chorus 1]
People wonder if one can live on memories alone,
But in reality, we are swept up in the rush of daily life.
Yet, the space where you used to be remains a void – one that can never be filled.

[Verse 2]
I am in excellent health, so I have no idea.
How much longer this life of mine will go on.
I’ve grown completely accustomed to being alone;
The rest of my life will likely drift by aimlessly.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I wonder when I stopped feeling that heart-pounding excitement and thrill.

[Chorus 2]
People wonder if one can live on memories alone,
But in reality, we are swept up in the rush of daily life.
Yet, the space where you used to be remains a void – one that can never be filled.

[Verse 3]
You in the photograph are simply smiling,
While I, living in reality, no longer smile.
Since you no longer exist in the physical world,
There is nothing left for us to do together.

[Pre-Chorus 3]
The French couple next door called out to me.
I envy the living; they seem so full of joy.

[Chorus 3]
People wonder if one can live on memories alone,
But in reality, we are swept up in the rush of daily life.
Yet, the space where you used to be remains a void – one that can never be filled.

[Bridge]
“A pumpkin has sprouted from the compost and is bearing two fruits,” they reported,
Adding, “The shido is growing vigorously
We’d love to have some of the leaves.”

[Final Chorus]
People wonder if one can live on memories alone,
But in reality, we are swept up in the rush of daily life.
Yet, the space where you used to be remains a void – one that can never be filled.

[Outro]

[Pre-Chorus 1]
First, I water the small almond tree.
I water the taro plants.

[Chorus 1]
There is no do-over in our lives.
Sometimes, looking back, I wonder.
Was that choice the right one?
Was it really for the best?

[Verse 2]
I water the red beefsteak plants.
I water the cucumber leaves.
I water the okra leaves.
I water the young rice plants.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I don’t water the sweet potatoes.
I don’t water the green perillas.

[Chorus 2]
There is no do-over in our lives.
Sometimes, looking back, I wonder.
Was that choice the right one?
Was it really for the best?

[Verse 3]
I soaked carrot seeds in water.
I soaked onion seeds in water.
I soaked cabbage seeds in water.
I soaked broccoli seeds in water.

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I soaked lettuce seeds in water.
I soaked radish seeds in water.

[Chorus 3]
There is no do-over in our lives.
Sometimes, looking back, I wonder.
Was that choice the right one?
Was it really for the best?

[Bridge]
She asked, “Are you right in the middle of raising vegetable children?”
I replied, “Yes. They are proof that they are alive.”
“Humans live about eighty years, but vegetables have short lives, three to five months.”
“They grow vigorously, bear fruit, and leave behind many offspring as seeds or tubers. There is no romance.”

[Final Chorus]
There is no do-over in our lives.
Sometimes, looking back, I wonder.
Was that choice the right one?
Was it really for the best?

[Outro]

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Then, silence returns.
Then, darkness returns.

[Chorus 1]
I call for happiness from atop the hill;
That was my one cherished mission,
That was my one highest priority,
That was the sole reason for my existence.

[Verse 2]
It arrived without warning.
The hot air made me dizzy.
Sunlight seen for the first time in ages
Blindingly met my gaze.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
We soar through the blue sky;
It feels like the flow of eternal time.

[Chorus 2]
I call for happiness from atop the hill;
That was my one cherished mission,
That was my one highest priority,
That was the sole reason for my existence.

[Verse 3]
A powerful impact struck me.
I lost consciousness for a long time.
When I came to, there was darkness.
But I could see stars in the distant sky.

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I could hear the breathing of insects;
We were truly, genuinely alive here.

[Chorus 3]
I call for happiness from atop the hill;
That was my one cherished mission,
That was my one highest priority,
That was the sole reason for my existence.

[Bridge]
Let us take root here.
Let us keep going here,
With all our might,
For we are alive.

[Final Chorus]
I call for happiness from atop the hill;
That was my one cherished mission,
That was my one highest priority,
That was the sole reason for my existence.

[Outro]

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Car engines have large displacements.
A motorcycle’s displacement is just one-tenth of that.

[Chorus 1]
We’ve been together a long time;
It’s looking pretty worn out now.
Even though it’s just a machine,
I’m too attached to let it go.

[Verse 2]
It’s not that I’m thinking about environmental issues;
I’m simply looking at cost-effectiveness.
Btu if I don’t use it, the battery dies,
So a long stretch of sunny weather is actually a problem.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I’m interested in hybrids and electric vehicles,
But they’re too expensive for me to buy.

[Chorus 2]
We’ve been together a long time;
It’s looking pretty worn out now.
Even though it’s just a machine,
I’m too attached to let it go.

[Verse 3]
The trends have left me behind
And feel a bit out of date.
But that doesn’t bother me;
The happiness of “cutting-edge is fleeting.

[Pre-Chorus 3]
It gradually fades away as time goes by.

By the time you realize it, it’s already too late.

[Chorus 3]
We’ve been together a long time;
It’s looking pretty worn out now.
Even though it’s just a machine,
I’m too attached to let it go.

[Bridge]
My car is a tall station wagon.
A big, eight-seater vehicle.
Meanwhile, my motorcycle
Is an off-road type with a high seat.

[Final Chorus]
We’ve been together a long time;
It’s looking pretty worn out now.
Even though it’s just a machine,
I’m too attached to let it go.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I mix instant coffee with water and float some ice cubes to chill it.

[Chorus 1]
In summer, the sun sets late,
The cool hours are fleeting,
I cherish those few hours,
Before darkness falls.

[Verse 2]
I down two glasses of it in one go,
Take my purchases out of my backpack,
And quickly put them in the fridge.
I toss out the ice from the plastic bag.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
A single cable charges my laptop battery and connects it to an external display.

[Chorus 2]
In summer, the sun sets late,
The cool hours are fleeting,
I cherish those few hours,
Before darkness falls.

[Verse 3]
An external drive sucks up the backup data.
While my smartphone plays music,
I carry it with me as I change clothes and step outside into the setting sun.

[Pre-Chorus 3]
There isn’t a soul in sight.
Going to a hot spring is a sign of affluence.

[Chorus 3]
In summer, the sun sets late,
The cool hours are fleeting,
I cherish those few hours,
Before darkness falls.

[Bridge]
The chirping of bell crickets,
The sound of distant waves,
The sound of a wind chime.

[Final Chorus]
In summer, the sun sets late,
The cool hours are fleeting,
I cherish those few hours,
Before darkness falls.

[Outro]

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A massive chorus of cicadas fills the air.
I can hardly bear the sound.

[Chorus 1]
Cutting through the wind,
The road stretches on endlessly;
I keep riding my motorcycle over the rolling ups and downs.

[Verse 2]
Carrying my helmet and backpack,
I head to where my motorcycle is parked,
Insert the key and turn it.
I hit the starter button to fire up the engine.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I put on my helmet and gloves,
Swing a leg over the seat, and shift into first gear.

[Chorus 2]
Cutting through the wind,
The road stretches on endlessly;
I keep riding my motorcycle over the rolling ups and downs.

[Verse 3]
Twisting the throttle and engaging the clutch,
My motorcycle picks up speed rapidly;
The scenery streams by behind me
As I cruise briskly along the coastal highway.

[Pre-Chorus 3]
With the sound of the engine and the sea breeze,
I’ll ride on without a care.

[Chorus 3]
Cutting through the wind,
The road stretches on endlessly;
I keep riding my motorcycle over the rolling ups and downs.

[Bridge]
I park the motorcycle in a covered lot and step into an air-conditioned building.
Both human and machine need to cool down.

[Final Chorus]
Cutting through the wind,
The road stretches on endlessly;
I keep riding my motorcycle over the rolling ups and downs.

[Outro]

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I walk along the edge of the rows,
Watering the almond stems.

[Chorus 1]
The soil turns dark and moist;
It sits perfectly still
Life breathes anew,
Happily drinking it in.

[Verse 2]
One by one, I pour the life-giving water;
Tiny lives are waiting there.
Even the smallest amount –
A single drop matters so much to them.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
After finishing the watering,
I set about weeding.

[Chorus 2]
The soil turns dark and moist;
It sits perfectly still
Life breathes anew,
Happily drinking it in.

[Verse 3]
As the soil emerges from beneath the weeds,
I dig up that dry earth and turn it over,
Bringing the moist soil to the surface.
That’s the rotary method – the basics.

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Digging deep into the earth,
I plant the Happy Hill seedlings, one by one.

[Chorus 3]
The soil turns dark and moist;
It sits perfectly still
Life breathes anew,
Happily drinking it in.

[Bridge]
Darkness falls over the area,
Illuminated by the moon.
It is eight o’clock at night;
Tomorrow will likely be sunny, too.

[Final Chorus]
The soil turns dark and moist;
It sits perfectly still
Life breathes anew,
Happily drinking it in.

[Outro]

[Pre-Chorus 1]
It is a quintessential feature of summer,
To foreigners, it’s simply a racket.

[Chorus 1]
To escape this heat,
Diving into the sea and darting
Through the water like a fish
That would feel amazing.

[Verse 2]
Cumulonimbus clouds tower up rapidly,
The sun’s rays beat down intensely,
And trickling sweat stings my eyes.
At times like this, we strip off everything.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Change into a brightly colored swimsuit, feeling refreshed,
And dash straight for the sea.

[Chorus 2]
To escape this heat,
Diving into the sea and darting
Through the water like a fish
That would feel amazing.

[Verse 3]
Sprinting at full speed across the scorching white sand
In our flip-flops, racing toward the blue ocean.
Looking back, we see our footprints splashing through the surf at the water’s edge.

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Let’s break free and set ourselves loose.
Nothing is holding us back.

[Chorus 3]
To escape this heat,
Diving into the sea and darting
Through the water like a fish
That would feel amazing.

[Bridge]
Watermelon, paper lanterns, fireflies, and the cool evening air.
Shaved ice, straw hats, and the sound of wind chimes.

[Final Chorus]
To escape this heat,
Diving into the sea and darting
Through the water like a fish
That would feel amazing.
