やさしい妹へ [Yasashii imouto e] [English translation]

Hey, if you're asleep it's ok

If the light is dazzling is because the room is dark

You can be with your eyes closed, I want you to hear without sleeping

When you were little, since you've been by my side always

You haven't thought about these things

But also, by being my sister

I think that it was very good

Though the past was inevitable

Since you started living on your own, now you're dazzling

The clothes you wear in the morning

You can choose them alone without problems

Though I'm a bit lonely, you can do it all alone

That's why stare with your love to your special one

That's why I want you to live for the good of that person

Because you're my special one

I wish you happiness

When you were little, you disobeyed mom a lot

And yet she couldn't hate you by seeing you

But also, by being my sister

I think that it was very good

When you were seven years old

You raised that kitten we picked abandoned at the river

Don't forget that small tenderness

You're my dream

Though I'm a bit lonely, you can do it. You're still a woman

That's why stare with your love to your special one

That's why I want you to live for the good of that person

Because you're my special one

I wish you happiness

My sweet (a wonderful life)

Because you're my special one

My sweet (with your way of living)

I wish you happiness

Ah
