Kiki ending song

Yasashisa ni tsutsumareta nara (If enveloped in tenderness) 

"Majo no Takkyuubin" ending theme (1989)





chiisai koro wa  kami-sama ga ite               When I was little, God was there

fushigi ni yume o kanaete kureta                and wonderfully, granted my dream.

yasashii kimochi de mezameta asa wa             On mornings when I wake up with kindly feelings,

otona ni natte mo                                       even though I've grown up,

kiseki wa okoru yo                                      miracles happen!



KAATEN o hiraite                                        Opening the curtain, tranquil

shizuka na komorebi no                          sunlight filtering through the trees,

* yasashisa ni tsutsumareta nara                if it envelops me in tenderness,

   kitto                                                surely

   me ni utsuru  subete no koto wa              everything reflected in my eyes will be

   MESSEEJI                                             a message.



chiisai koro wa  kami-sama ga ite               When I was little, God was there

mainichi ai o todokete kureta                   and every day he delivered love.

kokoro no oku ni shimai wasureta                Inside my heart, I had forgotten

taisetsu na hako                                        my precious box [of good memories].

hiraku toki wa ima                                      The time to open it is now.



ame-agari no niwa de                                    In the garden after the rain,

kuchinashi no kaori no                                  the smell of gardenias,

* Repeat



KAATEN o hiraite                                        Opening the curtain, tranquil

shizuka na komorebi no                          sunlight filtering through the trees,

* Repeat
