Lyrics:Takeuchi Mariya- Shiawase no Monosashi (Measure of Happiness) OST: Around 40 Jdrama

Japanese Lyrics:



English Translation

Count what you have now, don’t count what you don’t have

Exhausted from trying too hard, I broke down in tears
In my bathroom late at night
I feel like the happiness I’ve never had is out there somewhere
Am I in a hurry because of my age?
I’ve lived a fun life by myself and I don’t have a single regret
But like a cloudy mirror, I can’t see tomorrow

(Can’t you see? Can’t you see?)
Freedom and loneliness are a set pair, sadness also follows of its own accord
(Don’t you know? Don’t you know?)
If my neighbor’s lawn looks green, then I should plant flowers in this garden

Everyone wanders around, desiring what they don’t have
Even after they become adults
When people notice a pretty flower blooming at their feet
They can feel happy
But will the day when I escape the maze of my heart’s dilemma
And realize what’s important ever come?

(Can’t you see? Can’t you see?)
No matter which road you choose the same amount of worry will always follow
(You can choose, You can choose)
I choose my own priorities, what to take and what to give up

(Can’t you see? Can’t you see?)
The measure of basic happiness is inside my heart
(You can find, You can find)
If you can count what you don’t have enough of, then try counting what you do!
Count what you have now, don’t count what you don’t have

Count what you have now
Don’ t count what you don’t have
Find that you have so much
