A Korean ballad about watching someone blow out candles and feeling time move forward.
A Korean ballad about watching someone blow out candles and feeling time move forward.
The lyric never tries to make the birthday into some grand metaphor.
It stays with the physical details: the clock hands, the blown-out candles, the fake diamond ring.
A Korean ballad about watching someone blow out candles and feeling time move forward.
Tokei no hari 12ji wo sugi Kimi wa kyandoru fukikesu
The lyric never tries to make the birthday into some grand metaphor. It stays with the physical details: the clock hands, the blown-out candles, the fake diamond ring. That restraint lets the longing feel real, not staged.
When the singer says 'Tokei no hari 12ji wo sugi Kimi wa kyandoru fukikesu,' it's just watching time pass. The whole song hangs on that simple act, seeing the candles go out, knowing a year is gone, and feeling everything shift because of it. Nothing dramatic, just the quiet pressure of a birthday happening.
It's all right there, the clock passing midnight, the candles being blown out. The song doesn't need to explain anything beyond that image.
The way the Japanese phrases wrap around 'happy' and 'birthday' in parentheses gives the whole thing a whispered, private feel.

Tokei no hari 12ji wo sugi
Kimi wa kyandoru fukikesu
Toshi ga hitotsu chikazuita to
Warau kimi wo miru to
Itoshisa ga fueru yo
Futari ga narabu shashin no naka kisu shita
Rainen no kyou mo (happy)
Issho ni sugosou (birthday)
Saisho no omedetou wa boku ga iitakute
Sukoshi otona ni (happy)
Natta kimi he to (birthday)
Okuru messeeji
Itsu no kimi yori mo ima mitsumeteru kimi ga kirei sa
Boku ga katta purezento wa
Kitto feiku no daiyamondo ringu
Daiji sou ni zutto nagameru
Kimi no koto wo motto
Shiawase ni shitai yo
Kokoro no naka de tsuyoku tsuyoku chikatta
Nannensaki demo (happy)
Kawarazu ni kimi to (birthday)
Futari shika shiranai shunkan kasaneyou
Itsuka wa kanarazu (happy)
Boku mo habataku (birthday)
Dakara matte ite
Boku ni kimeta koto koukai sasenai yakusoku suru yo
Sono yubi kara koboresou na
Jueru wo itsuka kimi ni okurou
Sore ga ima no boku no yume nanda
Happy birthday
Rainen no kyou mo (happy)
Issho ni sugosou (birthday)
Saisho no omedetou wa boku ga iitakute
Sukoshi otona ni (happy)
Natta kimi he to (birthday)
Okuru messeeji
Itsu no kimi yori mo ima mitsumeteru kimi ga kirei sa
