Deep Blue Sky California
Deep Blue Sky California

Lyrics & Music by Toshikazu Maruno
English Translation by Tom Hibi

始まりは遠い記憶の中にある…
少年が初めてギターを手にした時から
憧れの地アメリカに思い届けと
少年の夢は走り始めた

あれから時は流れ 彼も大人になり
描いた夢は空の彼方 輝き続ける
その輝きを今、胸に抱きしめて
ギターを手に 憧れの地アメリカへと旅立つ

時を越えて 海を越えて
鹿児島からカリフォルニア
少年が見た あの青い空が
今、一つに繋がる

東京、アトランタ、ロサンゼルスへと
彼が描き続けた夢がこれから始まる
希望と輝きに満ちた眼差しで
彼の旅はサンディエゴへと続く

初めてLAのスタジオで
ギターを手にして彼が歌った "Thank You For Being A Friend"
この歌をこの地で歌う 幸せを感じながら
今、新たな友情と絆が生まれる

乾いた風に吹かれ
陽射しに手をかざし空を仰ぐ
少年が見た あの青い空が
今、一つに重なる

サンディエゴの夜は彼の夢を叶え
彼の星をその夜空に飾ってくれた
言葉の壁を越えて
彼の歌声が心と心をつなぐ

時を越えて 海を越えて
鹿児島からカリフォルニア
少年が見た あの青い空が
今、一つに繋がる
乾いた風に吹かれ
陽射しに手をかざし空を仰ぐ
この青い空に彼は誓う
またこの地に戻ってくる日を
またこの地に戻ってくる日を…


Beginning as far back as he can remember,
as a boy holding a guitar for the first time,
his dream take off, setting his sights
on America, the land of his dreams.

Time goes on, he becomes a man,
but his dream still shines in the sky.
That brightness is still in his heart.
Off to America with his guitar, the land of his dreams.

Across time and across the sea,
from Kagoshima to California,
the blue sky seen by that boy,
now connects to the one he sees today.

From Tokyo, to Atlanta and LA,
the dream treasured in his heart begins today.
With eyes full of hope and brightness,
his journey continues on to San Diego.

The first time in a music studio in LA,
Singing "Thank You for Being a Friend" with his guitar,
his heart fills with feelings of happiness,
while new friendships and bonds are born.

The dry wind blowing in his face,
hand raised to block the sun, he looks up to the sky.
The blue sky he saw as a boy
he now sees again.

Dreams come true under the San Diego night sky.
His stars decorate the sky at night.
Beyond the walls of language,
his song connects one heart to another.

Across time and across the sea,
from Kagoshima to California,
the blue sky seen by that boy,
now connects to the one he sees today.

The dry wind blowing in his face,
hand raised to block the sun, he looks up to the sky.
He swears on this blue sky,
One day he will come back to this land,
One day he will come back to this land,
