The sun rises in the eastern sky Bringing a new light to the city Birds chirping, the sound of awakening A tired face in the mirror How many mornings have I woken up Throughout my life now? This day called today turns To bring everyone the same morning Sometimes cloudy, or teasing with rain Lighting the eastern sky as the date changes Heralding a "beginning" and "the end" at night Yesterday's worries left behind In each casual morning moment My gratitude grows day by day Today once more I take strength from the dawn Filling my belly with freshly steamed rice Shall we have a go again today? A new day begins My emotions rise with the morning sun I don't know how many more I will greet But there's not a single day I've forgotten to be grateful Between the buildings, among the people This day brings another beginning From the first sunbeams rising in the sky From the first moment you opened your eyes It's starting today throughout the day From the window the rising sun shines in From the moment you first notice You can start to see today's view that's yours alone A notice of daybreak from the distant sky Eventually the city wakes from its slumber The morning light shines in the window Here too the new sunlight dances The faint sound of the train Outside the window the world quietly brightens The downpour ceases, people start walking This reborn city begins to move When the dawn breaks there are no more Unimaginably dark nights or nights when morning never comes Wash away yesterday's worries And feel the joy of starting anew Through so many nights it never changes The unadorned dawn, so soft today Repainting yesterday into today The sun rises again From the first sunbeams rising in the sky From the first moment you opened your eyes It's starting today throughout the day From the window the rising sun shines in From the moment you first notice You can start to see today's view that's yours alone The morning sun shines in through the curtains Lighting the scene Last night's noisy gathering Disappears and the hoped for morning appears Like it was all a lie, awakening refreshed On a fluffy bed like a cloud The alarm clock rings out As if heralding the beginning of a new day I get up and open the curtain Pick up yesterday's clothes scattered around the room Sigh and turn on the TV, have some hot coffee The wafting scent, the scent of morning The days pass by, feeling the joy Of bathing in the morning sun, gratitude in my heart Another day begins today This day called today begins (Today begins, reaching everyone's hearts) Today a new light shines in once more (Another day begins, the joy of morning) One day is a new day on my life From the first sunbeams rising in the sky From the first moment you opened your eyes It's starting today throughout the day From the window the rising sun shines in From the moment you first notice You can start to see today's view that's yours alone
