kawa no hotori o jitensha de todokeru

otona ni natta no ni sotsugyou dekitenai
korekara mou ichido sagashite hashirou

Kanji:

川のほとりを 自転車で届ける
あの子の 落としもの
坂の途中で ふりむき気がついた
自分が 忘れたもの

ずいぶん遠くまで 走っていたはず
たいしたことない もっとがんばろう

いつもあの子が だいじにしてるもの
しょんぼりしてるかな
責任重大 小さなかたちでも
おもたい あずかりもの

よろこぶ表情が とっても見たいけど
帰ってなかった 家族にわたそう

大人になったのに 卒業できてない
これからもう一度 さがして走ろう
僕の 忘れもの


English:

I ride my bicycle along the side of the river

To deliver what that girl left behind.

While I was on my way over the hill, I turned around and noticed

The thing that I, myself, had forgotten.

I was supposed to run so far into the distance.

It’s not really a big thing; I’ll just try even harder.

That girl always treasured that thing so much.

I wonder if she feels downhearted.

It’s a heavy responsibility, even though its form is so small.

I’m in charge of an important thing.

I very much want to see her joyful face,

But she didn’t come back. I’ll hand it to her family.

Even though I’ve become an adult, I can’t graduate.

From now on, one more time, I’ll search for it at a run –

For the thing that I forgot.
