A Life to Be Envied
Lyrics, Composition, & Arrangement: Hikaru Utada
Through your slight bowing and self-introduction
it's already become clear
that I'll stay married for life with you
We began with each of our life stories,
but I don't really remember the beginning
This won't end overnight
Weirdly endlessly
something begins to overflow
and a life I thought long is suddenly short
Even if today is the last day of my life
even if it's 50 years from now, I was able to meet you, so...
"I was happier than anyone else"
"This was a life to be envied"
Even if today is the last day of my life
even if it's 50 years from now, I was able to meet you, so...
"I was happier than anyone else"
"This was a life to be envied"
I can say it,
no matter how humble I am,
"This was a life to be envied"
I'll stop living a life
just to meet other's expectations
I think this as I replace
the flowers dedicated to the portrait of my deceased mother
If you go before me,
I'll remain faithful to you
If I die first,
I'll smile at my very dying moment
Today's the first day of my life
I'll gaze at you even 50 years from now
"I'm happier than anyone else"
"This was a life to be envied"
I can say it,
no matter how humble I am,
"This was a life to be envied"
I can say it,
no matter, no matter how humble I am,
"This was a life to be envied"
