Toire no kamisama – 植村花菜 with FULL lyric and english translation

小しょう3の頃ころからなぜだか

Shousan no koro kara nazedaka

From my 3rd year in elementary school

おばあちゃんと暮くらしてた

Obaachan to kurashiteta

I somehow began living with my grandma.

実家じっかの隣となりだったけど

Jikka no tonari dattakedo

Grandma’s house was right next to my parents’

おばあちゃんと暮くらしてた

Obaachan to kurashiteta

But I began living with my grandma.

毎日まいにちお手伝てつだいをして

Mainichi otetsudai wo shite

I helped grandma everyday

五目並ごもくならべもした

Gomoku narabe mo shita

And even played Gobang with her.

でもトイレ掃除といれそうじだけ苦手にがてな私わたしに

Demo toire souji dake nigatena watashi ni

But since I was never able to clean the toilet well

おばあちゃんがこう言いった

Obaachan ga kou itta

Grandma said this to me:

トイレといれにはそれはそれはキレイきれいな

Toire niwa sore wa sore wa kireina

In the toilet, there is

女神様めがみさまがいるんやで

Megamisama ga irunyade

A beautiful goddess.

だから毎日まいにち

Dakara mainichi

If you clean the toilet

キレイきれいにしたら

Kirei ni shitara

Beautifully everyday

女神様めがみさまみたいにべっぴんさんになれるんやで

Megamisama mitai ni beppinsan ni narerun yade

You’ll become just as beautiful as the goddess.”

その日ひから私わたしはトイレといれを

Sonohi kara watashi wa toire wo

From that day on

ピカピカぴかぴかにし始はじめた

Pika pika ni hajimeta

I would always clean the toilet until it sparkled.

べっぴんさんに絶対ぜったいなりたくて

Beppin san ni zettai naritakute

I was working very hard

毎日磨まいにちみがいてた

Mainichi migaiteta

Because I really wanted to become beautiful.

買かい物ものに出でかけた時ときには

Kaimono ni dekaketa toki niwa

When we went shopping

二人ふたりで鴨かもなんば食たべた

Futari de kamonanba tabeta

We would eat noodles with duck meat.

新喜劇録画しんきげきろくがし損そこねたおばあちゃんを

Shinkigeki rokugashi sokoneta obaachan wo

When grandma failed to tape the new comedy movie I’d wanted to watch

泣ないて責せめたりもした

Naite semetari mo shita

I would cry and blame her for it.

トイレといれにはそれはそれはキレイきれいな女神様めがみさまがいるんやで

Toireniwa sore wa sore wa kireina megamisama ga irunyade

“In the toilet, there is a beautiful goddess.

だから毎日まいにち

Dakara mainichi

If everyday

キレイきれいにしたら

Kirei ni shitara

You clean the toilet beautifully

女神様めがみさまみたいにべっぴんさんになれるんやで

Megamisama mitai ni beppin san ni narerunyade

You’ll become just as beautiful as the goddess

少すこし大人おとなになった私わたしは

Sukoshi otona ni natta watashi

As I grew a little older

おばあちゃんとぶつかった

Obaachan to butsukatta

I had a huge argument with grandma

家族かぞくともうまくやれなくて

Kazoku tomo umaku yarenakute

And since I wasn’t on good terms with my family, either

居場所いばしょがなくなった

Ibahshou ga nakunatta

I felt like I didn’t belong anywhere anymore.

休やすみの日ひも家いえに帰かえらず

Yasuminohi mo ie ni kaerazu

On days off, instead of returning home

彼氏かれしと遊あそんだりした

Kareshi to asondarishita

I would go out and have fun with my boyfriend.

五目並ごもくならべも鴨かもなんばも二人ふたりの間まから消きえてった

Gomoku narabe mo kamonanba mo futari no aida kara kietetta

The Go games and the duck meat noodles also vanished from between the two of us.

どうしてだろう人ひとは人ひとを傷付きずつけ

Doushite darou hito wa hito wo kizutsukete

Just why do people hurt others

大切たいせつなものをなくしてく

Taisetsuna mono wo nakusiteku

And gradually lose what’s important to them?

いつも味方みかたを

Itsumo no mikara wo

Although grandma had always been there for me

してくれてたおばあちゃん残のこしてひとりきり家離かはなれた

Shite kureta obaachan nokoshite hitokiri iehanareta

I left her and ran away from home alone.

上京じょうきょうして2年ねんが過すぎて

Joukyou shite ninenkan ga sugite

2 years after I had lived in Tokyo

おばあちゃんが入院にゅういんした

Obaachan ga nyuuinshita

Grandma was hospitalized.

痩やせて細ほそくなってしまった

Yasete hosoku natteshimatta

She had become extremely thin and frail.

おばあちゃんに会あいに行いった

Obaachan ni ai ni itta

I went to visit her.

「おばあちゃん、ただいまー！」ってわざと

Obaachan, tadaima tte wazato

“Grandma, I’m home–!”

昔むかしみたいに言いってみたけど

Mukashi mitai ni ittemita kedo

I intentionally said it how I used to say it in the past.

ちょっと話はなしただけだったのに

Chotto hanashita dake datta noni

I was only able to talk to her briefly

「もう帰かえりーー。」って病室びょうしつを出だされた

Mou kaeritte byoushitsu wo dasareta

Before she said “Go home already” and forced my out of the room.

次つぎの日ひの朝あさ

Tsuginohi no asa

In the next morning

おばあちゃんは静しずかに眠ねむりについた

Obaachan wa shizuka ni nemuri ni tsuita

Grandma had quietly fallen asleep.

まるでまるで私わたしが来くるのを

Marude marude watashi ga kuru no wo

It was almost as if, almost as if

待まっていてくれたように

Matteite kureta youni

She had been waiting for my return all this time.

ちゃんと育そだててくれたのに

Chanto sodatetekure ta noni

Although she had properly brought me up

恩返おんがえしもしてないのに

Ongaeshi mo shitenai noni

I had yet to have the chance to repay her kindness.

いい孫まごじゃなかったのにこんな私わたしを待まっててくれたんやね

Iimago janakatta noni konnna watashi wo mattetekuretanyane

I wasn’t the best granddaughter out there, but she was still waiting for my return.

トイレといれにはそれはそれはキレイきれいな

Toireniwa sore wa sore wa kireina

“In the toilet, there is

女神様めがみさまがいるんやで

Megamisama ga irunyade

A beautiful goddess.”

おばあちゃんがくれた言葉ことばは今日きょうの私わたしをべっぴんさんにしてくれてるかな

Obaachan ga kureta kotoba kyou no watashi wo beppinsan ni shitekureteru kana

Will these words once said by my grandma finally turn me into a beautiful person?

トイレといれにはそれはそれはキレイきれいな女神様めがみさまがいるんやで

Toire ni wa sore wa sore wa kireina megamisama ga irunyade

“In the toilet, there is a beautiful goddess

だから毎日キレイまいにちきれいにしたら女神様めがみさまみたいにべっぴんさんになれるんやで

Dakara mainichi kirei ni shitara megamisama mitai ni beppinsan ni narerunyade

If you clean the toilet beautifully everyday, you’ll become just as beautiful as the goddess.”

気立きだての良よいお嫁よめさんになるのが

Kidateno yoi ojousan ni naru noga

I have always dreamed

夢ゆめだった私わたしは

Yume datta watashi

Of becoming a perfect bride.

今日きょうもせっせとトイレといれを

Kyou mo sesseto toire wo

Today, too, I’ll clean the toilet

ピカピカぴかぴかにする

Pika pika ni suru

Until it sparkles.

おばあちゃん おばあちゃん ありがとう

Obaachan obaachan arigatou

Grandma. Grandma. Thank you

おばあちゃんホンマにありがとう

Obaachan honmani arigatou

Grandma, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
