You've Always Been A Very Special Only One

''Especially dedicated to my everdearest son,Muhammad Izz Qayyim Bin Juzaimi''
Actually Ma first heard this song during my Sports Day in autumn last year and she found the lyrics were rather touching especially when thinking & comparing them with her son(that's me).It's pretty ironic, considering the song is talking about how we shouldn't be competitive since we're all unique.Yes,I came to Japan without knowing any Japanese,yet I managed to conduct my own life in this tough new world.But of course who am I without you,Ma & Pa.Thanks both for your loving & caring. この大きな愛情だけで僕はきっと強くなれるんだ!

Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana 世界に一つだけの花

NO.1にならなくてもいい もともと特別なOnly one

花屋の店先に並んだ いろんな花を見ていた
ひとそれぞれ好みはあるけど どれもみんなきれいだね
この中で誰が一番だなんて 争うこともしないで
バケツの中誇らしげに しゃんと胸を張っている

それなのに僕ら人間は どうしてこうも比べたがる?
一人一人違うのにその中で 一番になりたがる?

そうさ 僕らは
※世界に一つだけの花 一人一人違う種を持つ
その花を咲かせることだけに 一生懸命になればいい※

困ったように笑いながら ずっと迷ってる人がいる
頑張って咲いた花はどれも きれいだから仕方ないね
やっと店から出てきた その人が抱えていた
色とりどりの花束と うれしそうな横顔

名前も知らなかったけれど あの日僕に笑顔をくれた
誰も気づかないような場所で 咲いてた花のように

そうさ 僕らも
(※くり返し)

小さい花や大きな花 一つとして同じものはないから
NO.1にならなくてもいい もともと特別なOnly one






A Flower Unlike Any Other in The World

There's no need to be No. 1
you've always been a very special only one.

I saw many kinds of flowers lined up in front of the flowershop.
everyone has their favorite kinds but all of them are pretty.
Without competing to see which was the best among them,
they were standing straight up proudly inside the bucket.
So why then do we humans have to compare ourselves to one another?
Eventhough each and every person is different,
why do we want to be number one?
Yes we are each..

a flower unlike any other in the world
and each and everyone of us carries a different seed
We should focus all our efforts on trying to make that flower bloom.

There are people who are constantly unsure of what they want,
as they laugh a little put out.
It can't be helped, all those flowers,
that did everything they could to bloom, are pretty.
when at last that person comes out of the store,
they're holding a colorful bouquet
and I see them smiling happilly as they go by me.
I never knew their name but
that day they made me smile.

we too are like flowers that bloom in places where no one pays any attention.
Yes we too are each...

a flower unlike any other in the world
and each and everyone of us carries a different seed
We should focus all our efforts on trying to make that flower bloom.

Small flowers and big flowers, none are the same as one another.
There's no need to be No. 1
you've always been a very special only one.
