Itsuka Okaasan ni Naretara (If Sometime I Can Become a Mother)

Text

When I was a teacher there was an interesting kid
They said their mother read them picture books every night
They must have fallen asleep gazing at many different worlds, along with a gentle, gentle voice

So I also want to read you a lot of picture books
I want to also show you a lot of movies
I don’t really like horror movies so you can watch them alone

I exercised a lot so I didn’t miss out on anything, so I think it’d be great if you want to do something too
Let’s definitely skateboard together

I’m very selfish so you’ll also probably butt heads with your friends
I’m not good at giving advice so when you’re troubled let’s worry together

I’m a negative and nervous person so
I want to do what I can to let you enjoy so many things
But you’ll become so cool in proportion to how much you fail

There’s a large chance you’ll love music, that’s not my fault
You can blame it on your grandfather that loves Hawaii
and your grandmother that makes everything into a song


Just kidding, Just kidding
Everything is just about what if, a wild delusion, just like my own arbitrary dream
I’m approaching my 40s and my treasures are gradually multiplying
One of those treasured friends gave birth, to a very cute baby

I probably can’t become a mother
I probably won’t become a mother
The pain and feelings my mom had when she gave birth to me
I’ll probably never understand them my whole life

So then to that extent
So then to that extent
So then to that extent
I’ll caress someone’s head so much
I’ll gently embrace this miracle

If sometime I have a child there is a large chance they’ll love music
That’s not my fault, you can blame it on your grandfather that loves Hawaii
and your grandmother that makes everything into a song
