Hinageshi (Red Poppy)
"Ranma 1/2 Nettouhen" ending theme (1991)

kyou,					Today,
ame ga furi-dashita no dakara		because it started to rain,
yakusoku yabutte ie ni ita no  Mm	breaking my promise, I was at home, mm.
gomen,					Sorry,
kirai ni natta no ja nakute		it's not that I hate you,
nantonaku sou shitakatta		I don't know why I wanted to do that.

hana wo ichirin  kazatte-mita no
POTARI to shizuku  namida mitai ni
				I tried decorating with a single blossom,
				which a tear-like drop quietly trickled down.

* hinageshi no hana de	nakute yokatta
  mujaki ni saku ki ni wa  narenai
  na mo nai sono hana wa  watashi mitai ne
  hissori hitori  inoru no
				I'm glad I'm not a red poppy;
				I don't feel like blooming innocently.
				That insignificant flower is like me.
				Silently, I pray alone.

nee,					You know,
ryoute awaseta toki ni dake		when we just join [both] hands,
kami-sama omou no wagamama yo ne  Mm	it's selfish to think of God, mm.
demo,					But,
kono setsunasa no wake-gurai		He should explain to me
oshiete-kurete mo ii desho		at least the reason for this misery.

umare-kawatte  hana ni naru nara	If I were reborn a flower,
KANARIYA-iro no  hanabira ga ii 	I'd prefer canary yellow petals.

hinageshi ni natte  oka no ue kara
kaze wo nagame	oshaberi-suru no
sono hi no tameiki mo  hoshi ni makasete
kodomo no you ni  sakitai
				Being a red poppy up on the hill,
				I'd gaze at the wind and chat.
				Leaving even my sigh that day to the stars,
				like a child, I want to bloom.

* Repeat

ひなげし
「らんま 1/2 熱闘編」エンディング・テーマ (1991)

今日、
雨が降り出したの　だから
約束破って家に居たの　Ｍｍ
ごめん、
嫌いになったのじゃなくて
なんとなくそうしたかった

花を一輪　飾ってみたの
ポタリと滴〈しずく〉　涙みたいに

※ひなげしの花で　なくて良かった
　無邪気に咲く気には　なれない
　名も無いその花は　私みたいね
　ひっそり一人　祈るの

ねえ、
両手合わせた時にだけ
神様思うのわがままよね　Ｍｍ
でも、
このせつなさの理由〈わけ〉ぐらい
教えてくれてもいいでしょ

生まれ変わって　花になるなら
カナリヤ色の　花びらがいい

ひなげしになって　丘の上から
風を眺め　おしゃべりするの
その日のため息も　星にまかせて
子供の様に　咲きたい

※くりかえし
