Niji to taiyou no oka (A hill with a rainbow and the sun)
"Ranma 1/2 Nettouhen" ending theme (1992)

mitsume-au hodo soba ni ite  yasashisa mo egao mo sure-chigai
anata kizukanu huri shite  itazura ni isogiashi
        Though we're close enough to gaze at one another,
        gentleness and smiles pass us by.
        You pretend not to notice, hurrying aimlessly.

soredemo kagayaku  ano oka no ue de
togire-togire no monogatari wo  tada enjiru dake de
futari tsutsumu niji wa  hitotsu no negai kanaeru
        And yet, up on that shining hill,
        all we do is act out an intermittent story,
        wrapped up in a rainbow that grants our single wish.

* taiyou no nioi da ne  anata no yume mo SHATSU mo
  kibou ni michita hitomi wa subete kagayaki ni kaeru
        There's a sunny smell even in your dreams and in your shirt.
        Filled with desire, your eyes become all a-gleam.
  dakara taisetsu na yume wo  keshite akiramenaide
  oozora ni habataku chikara to yuuki  mochi-tsuzukete
        So never give up your precious dream.
        Keep the ability and courage to fly to the heavens.

osanai hi wa nan ni demo  fushigi wo sagashi-dasu koto ga dekita
marude sore ga eien ni  owaranai ka no you ni
        When I was very young, I could search for wonder.
        As if it were eternal, it seems like it will never end.

aoku nijinda  toki [kanji: jikan] no hodou de
moshi mo anata ga mayotta toki wa  sou omoidashite ne
ai to yuuki kureta  ano oka ni kakaru niji wo
        On the walkway of time, blurred in blue,
        if you should get lost, remember
        the love and courage given by the rainbow resting on that hill.

otona ni naru ni tsurete  minna kawatte yuku
shounen no kokoro no KYANBASU zutto egaite ite
anata ga ima no mama de  kirameite iru you ni
itsumade mo itsumade mo  sotto mi-mamotte ikitai
        Everyone changes as they grow up to become an adult.
        Always keep drawing on the canvas of your boyish heart.
        So that you keep shining like you are now,
        forever and ever, I want to softly watch over you.

* Repeat
