A Spoonful Lyrics English Translation by Ai Higuchi
Just a little more, just one more spoonful’s worth
If I were to forget this tragedy
Would it never happen again, not even imagined, not in a million years?
Or else
If I were to etch this tragedy in memory
Would the regret continue, and this never happen again, not in a million years?
Without knowing which it is
Leaving it in a corner of my mind
I ended up growing up
So that you won’t make a sad face
The me who would give you all of this and that, everything
So that you won’t make a sad face
The me who would forgive anything and everything
Give up on me, don’t come after me
Live strong and resilient
I will
Just a little more, just one more spoonful’s worth
Spend my whole life acquiring wisdom
So you, just be yourself
Popular songs and trendy words
Are like the names and faces of characters from foreign dramas
I can’t remember them
Charging up and updating late at night
Hey, about me too
I’ll pay the update fee, so while I’m sleeping
Please finish it
Before this rusted body
Stops listening to what I say
I want to hold you close
Blooming gloriously, like a flower
My beloved child, so beautiful
Those pure eyes of yours
Reflect things without cloudiness
Like a clear, sunny morning
May they remain beautiful, untainted
By anything
So that you won’t make a sad face
The me who would give you all of this and that, everything
So that you won’t make a sad face
The me who would forgive anything and everything
Doubt me, and live by
The righteousness you believe in
I will
Just a little more, just one more spoonful’s worth
Spend my whole life acquiring wisdom
So don’t forget, I’ll always be on your side
So you, just be yourself
