何も聞こえない　何も聞かせてくれない

僕の身体が昔より　大人になったからなのか

ベッドに置いていた　初めて買った黒いラジオ

いくつものメロディーが　いくつもの時代を作った

思春期に少年から　大人に変わる

道を探していた　汚れもないままに

飾られた行きばのない　押し寄せる人波に

本当の幸せ教えてよ　壊れかけのRadio

nani mo kikoenai nani mo kikasete kurenai

boku no karada ga mukashi yori otona ni natta kara na no ka

beddo ni oite ita hajimete katta kuroi rajio

ikutsu mo no merodii ga ikutsu mo no jidai wo tsukutta

seishunki ni shounen kara otona ni kawaru

michi wo sagashite ita kegare mo nai mama ni

kazarareta ikiba no nai oshiyoseru hitonami ni

hontou no shiawase oshiete yo kowarekake no Radio

I can’t hear anything, you won’t let me hear anything

Is that because my body has grown up since then?

A black radio on my bed, the first one I ever bought

Countless melodies that created countless moments

In adolescence, you change from a boy into a man

I searched for the road, still so innocent

Pushing through the crowd, no decent place to go

Tell me what real happiness is, my broken radio

何も聞こえない　何も聞かせてくれない

僕の身体が昔より　大人になったからなのか

ベッドに置いていた　初めて買った黒いラジオ

いくつものメロディーが　いくつもの時代を作った

思春期に少年から　大人に変わる

道を探していた　汚れもないままに

飾られた行きばのない　押し寄せる人波に

本当の幸せ教えてよ　壊れかけのRadio

いつも聞こえてた　いつも聞かせてくれてた

窓ごしに空をみたら　かすかな勇気が生まれた

ラジオは知っていた　僕の心をノックした

恋に破れそうな胸　やさしい風が手を振った

華やいだ祭りの後　静まる街を背に

星を眺めていた　けがれもないままに

遠ざかる故郷の空　帰れない人波に

本当の幸せ教えてよ　壊れかけのRadio

ギターを弾いていた　次のコードも判らずに

迷子になりそうな夢　素敵な歌が導いた

思春期に少年から　大人に変わる

道を探していた　汚れもないままに

飾られた行きばのない　押し寄せる人波に

本当の幸せ教えてよ　壊れかけのRadio

華やいだ祭りの後　静まる街を背に

星を眺めていた　けがれもないままに

遠ざかる故郷の空　帰れない人波に

本当の幸せ教えてよ　壊れかけのRadio

遠ざかる溢れた夢　帰れない人波に

本当の幸せ教えてよ　壊れかけのRadio

beddo ni oite ita hajimete katta kuroi rajio

michi wo sagashite ita kegare mo nai mama ni

kazarareta ikiba no nai oshiyoseru hitonami ni

hontou no shiawase oshiete yo kowarekake no Radio

itsumo kikoeteta itsumo kikasete kureteta

madogoshi ni sora wo mitara kasuka na yuuki ga umareta

rajio wa shitte ita boku no kokoro wo nokku shita

koi ni yaburesou na mune yasashii kaze ga te wo futta

hanayaida matsuri no ato shizumaru machi wo se ni

hoshi wo nagamete ita kegare mo nai mama ni

toozakaru kokyou no sora kaerenai hitonami ni

hontou no shiawase oshiete yo kowarekake no Radio

gitaa wo hiite ita tsugi no koodo mo wakarazu ni

maigo ni narisou na yume suteki na uta ga michibiita

seishunki ni shounen kara otona ni kawaru

michi wo sagashite ita kegare mo nai mama ni

kazarareta ikiba no nai oshiyoseru hitonami ni

toozakaru afureta yume kaerenai hitonami ni

hontou no shiawase oshiete yo kowarekake no Radio

I can’t hear anything, you won’t let me hear anything

Is that because my body has grown up since then?

A black radio on my bed, the first one I ever bought

Countless melodies that created countless moments

In adolescence, you change from a boy into a man

I searched for the road, still so innocent

Pushing through the crowd, no decent place to go

Tell me what real happiness is, my broken radio

I could always hear it, you always let me hear it

When I looked out the window at the sky, I felt a new, faint courage

My radio knew, you knocked on the door of my heart

A gentle breeze waved goodbye to my broken heart

I turned my back on the town, quiet after the raucous festival

And looked up at the stars, still so innocent

The sky of my hometown, growing far away; the crowd of people I can’t go back to

Tell me what real happiness is, my broken radio

I played my guitar, not even knowing the next chord

When I lost sight of my dream, a wonderful song guided me

In adolescence, you change from a boy into a man

I searched for the road, still so innocent

Pushing through the crowd, no decent place to go

Tell me what real happiness is, my broken radio

I turned my back on the town, quiet after the raucous festival

And looked up at the stars, still so innocent

The sky of my hometown, growing far away; the crowd of people I can’t go back to

Tell me what real happiness is, my broken radio

So many dreams growing far away; the crowd of people I can’t go back to

Tell me what real happiness is, my broken radio
