nukumori (warmth)
words/composition: Shimabukuro Suguru　arrangement: Matsuura Akihisa
translation: pantsu

Like an indian summer, like the glow of a window
Warm like the T-shirt you washed carefully
Like a sunny spot at the park...

Like the movies I cried to, like the photographs I laughed to
Warmer than a caramel macchiato,
Warmer than the steamed meat buns from the convenience store
I feel your warmth throughout my body in spring, summer, autumn and winter

That warmth brings me strength and courage to move ahead
At times strict, at times gentle, your heart full of love stays the same forever
I can feel that warmth throughout my body even today

I'm always laughing, like I never worry about a thing
And yet there are nights when the tears overflow
The warm melody of your hometown, you sing to me as a lullaby

That warmth envelops me like it's protecting me
Because It's still awkward, these words of gratitude have yet to be spoken
Gentle or strict, I thank you for that warmth
Mom
