[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Morning at the table, still in pajamas You would always, in a little voice Laughing, saying you didn't know what it meant Like an omajinai, you would whisper [Pre-Chorus] When you were just a child, your grandma Taught you these words, you told me [Chorus] Sakimitama, Kushimitama. Mamoritamai, Sakihayetamae. Even now, sometimes, I remember Sakimitama, Kushimitama. Mamoritamai, Sakihayetamae. Wherever you are, I hope you’re well [Verse 2] Though no one ever taught me Before I knew it, I was saying it too [Pre-Chorus] I’ve grown good at pretending to forget And yet, my lips still remember [Chorus] Sakimitama, Kushimitama. Mamoritamai, Sakihayetamae. A mug with its handle chipped Sakimitama, Kushimitama. Mamoritamai, Sakihayetamae. Still on the shelf, I can't let it go [Bridge] Even now, I don’t know what it means But somehow, when I say it aloud I feel that you, with the same words Somewhere, are whispering them too [Interlude] [Final Chorus] Sakimitama, Kushimitama. Mamoritamai, Sakihayetamae. When I feel lonely, I whisper them Sakimitama, Kushimitama. Mamoritamai, Sakihayetamae. And somehow, I feel better again [Outro] Sakimitama, Kushimitama. Mamoritamai, Sakihayetamae. “Oyasumi nasai” [End]
