Translation of a Niou song, from his album P.
1/365 Miracle
Under the deep blue winter sky
Warmly dissolves white breath
On a morning without much warmth
That was how I was born
The people who think it’s important
Clearly have too much
The boredom of being alone
Before I realized it, I had forgotten it
The journey in which I grow up surrounded by warmth
Began, and the day it should be remembered
Is today…
365 times, circling and continuing, within the everyday
It’s a miracle of only one day
Happy birthday
If I was born in the morning
The way I live would also be just a bit sly
I should be in this place now
But I am definitely not, right?
While lost in the same dream
That there are comrades who laugh as we meet
Is surely a present from fate
Thinking that way is unlike me
The journey in which I grasp this chance encounter
Was selected, and the day it should be remembered*
Is today…
365 times, it was given to me, within time
Today I was given life; I’m thankful
Happy birthday
Silver powdered snow flutters, in my color
The streets are also dyed
It’s a miracle of only one day
Happy birthday
*it’s talking about “I chose this journey”
Also, as a side note, 回 is a counter for “going around” (365回, or 365 times) so it’s in the sense of the year going around and returning to the beginning. The last two verses are actually continuing the same sentence despite being split that way -- the streets are also dyed in his color as silver snow falls. *shrug*
