Part 1: English Lyrics Verse 1 I watched my father day by day, Guiding roots in a gentle way. Every morning, calm and true, The maple’s leaves in morning dew. Verse 2 This spring I learned beside his hand, He showed me how to help it stand. Step by step, his voice so near, Teaching me with love sincere. Verse 3 Now autumn flames in red and gold, The bonsai shines, a tale retold. In every leaf, the years remain, A living bond that will sustain. Chorus Bonsai tree, I promise here, With my father, year by year. Hand in hand, we’ll watch you grow, Through the seasons’ gentle flow. Bonsai tree, forever stay, Love will guide us every day. Ending Bonsai tree, forever stay, Love will guide us every day. お父さんは 時をかさね 枝をたしかめ 根を見守る 朝の光 静かに揺れて もみじの葉は つややかに映え 春の日ざし 父におそわり 枝のすがた ふたりで整え 声に心よせ 心重ねながら そこにはやさしさ あふれていた 秋が来れば 紅葉は燃えて 赤と金に 輝くいのち ひとひらごと 時を語り とわの絆 胸にひびく もみじよ 心に誓う 父とともに 育ててゆこう 年を重ね 季節を越えて 愛に守られ 根を張るように もみじよ いつまでも ともに歩む この道を もみじよ いつまでも ともに歩む この道を
