[Intro]
[Verse 1]
We were working in the field when our neighbors came into their yard.
We smiled and said, “Hello,”
and they smiled and replied, “Hello” as well.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The dinner party was canceled at the last minute because of a fight between the couple.
[Chorus 1]
We can’t fight fate,
Live in the present,
Don’t waste a single day,
Towards the end.
[Verse 2]
His wife had said to use her poor health as an excuse,
But I wonder what happened after that.
From what I heard,
She went to a hospital in Tokyo.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cancer was found in her uterus,
She had surgery at a university hospital.
[Chorus 2]
We can’t fight fate,
Live in the present,
Don’t waste a single day,
Towards the end.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
She was in so much pain that she was vedridden,
The cause was cancer.
The answer is terminal cancer.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
We gave them money as a get-well gift,
They had lunch together before she was admitted to the hospital.
[Chorus 3]
We can’t fight fate,
Live in the present,
Don’t waste a single day,
Towards the end.
[Bridge]
She said, “There was no sense of despair.”
I said, “Did the doctor’s word not get across accurately?”
He doesn’t understand Japanese, after all.
There’s nothing more we can do.
[Final Chorus]
We can’t fight fate,
Live in the present,
Don’t waste a single day,
Towards the end.
