Oh hand gripping tightly without saying anything Even if it buds minutely, in a mere twinkling Your lies, trivial secrets Only this mother foresees them, and all of it Oh hand softly wiping without asking anything When I fade away, with a mere murmur We can even cuddle close, of course, in the darkness you are truly frightened of I am still this mother The palm of your hand that bloomed It’s growing so big I want you to know an overflowing sort of kindness Oh hand searching for empty air without having anything Now, make sure that the fruit called today will fall again today |
Info: Ringo wrote the words and music and arranged this song, which was performed by Rie Tomosaka. "Kodomo no Joukei" is also the Japanese title for Schumann's Opus 15, Kinderszenen ("Scenes from Childhood"), as well as the title of a 2007 Japanese film.
