I'm Happy Man
by V6
translated by Mark Neidengard


SUPIIDO agete kinou kanjita
Ya na KOTO nante kaze ni zenbu nagashita
Kimi ga matsu machi e isogu
Kousoku notte
                                        I increase my speed, and the worries of
                                          yesterday
                                        Are all blown away by the wind
                                        I hurry toward the city where you wait
                                        On the highway

Fudan yori mo kanari suiteru
Michi mo machi mo hito mo
"OFF" no hi ni hayaoki nante sa
Nen ni ichido ka nido
                                        Everything's emptier than usual
                                        The street, the city, the crowds
                                        Who wants to get up early on a day off
                                        That happens only once or twice a year?

Fun kizami no SUKEJUURU
Oshiau juutai no mainichi
ZUREhajimeteta kimochi wo
Kyou wa kidou shusei shitai
                                        A schedule timed down to the minute
                                        The daily crush of traffic jams
                                        Today, I want to change tracks
                                        From from the feelings that started to
                                          crack

SUPIIDO agete AKUSERU funda

"Yes, I'm happy man"
GAADOREERU no mukou de kimi ga

                                        I increased my speed and stepped on the
                                          gas
                                        And didn't even hit a single red light
                                        This feels great
                                        "Yes, I'm happy man"
                                        I saw you smiling and waving your arms
                                        Beyond the guardrail
                                        My thirst up till yesterday is being
                                          satisfied
                                        Now that you're with me

Tsukiatteru  kikan wa hon no
Hitotsuki han dakedo
Nagai aida sugoshiteru yo na
Sonna ki ni saseteru
                                        We've only been going out for
                                        A month and a half
                                        But you make it feel like
                                        It's been a long, long time

Mikake yori shikkari shita
Seikaku mo kanari konomi de
Tokidoki boku ga tsukareta yoru wa
Koe wo kikasete hoshii
                                        I like the you that's more composed
                                          inside
                                        Than you seem to the world
                                        And on those occasions I'm tired at
                                          night
                                        I want you to let me hear your voice

Chizu wo hirogete NABI suru kimi no
Yokogao wo mite hitoshirezu omotteru
FITTO suru hito ni aeta
"Yes, I'm lucky man"
Ashita mo tsurai nichijou dakedo
Boku no chikaku de waratte kureteru nara
Nanika ga mada boku ni dekiru ki ga suru
Kasanaru hitogomi no naka de
                                        I think to myself as I see your profile
                                        Navigating with the map spread out:
                                        "I've really met a good match"
                                        "Yes, I'm lucky man"
                                        Tomorrow will be more of the painful
                                          routine
                                        But if you're beside me, laughing,
                                        I think I'll still survive
                                        Underneath the pressure of the crowd
