Azumanga Daioh Osaka Single - Time Pavement

↓ Lyrics
Original / Romaji Lyrics
English Translation
amai RIZUMU kizamu yo
tokei no oto wa
yukkuri temaneki no kotori
Such an easy rhythm ticking
It's the sound of the clock
The little bird gently beckoning
konna KURASU shiranai?
minna doko daro?
bonyari nemuri no jikan
What a strange class
I wonder where everyone is
Time to drift off
kyou wa kyou no yume dato wakatteru
dakara nandemo dekisou na DREAM
sora ni chiisana anoko ga tobidaseba
sou koko ni TIME PAVEMENT
Knowing that today's dream is for today
I feel I can do anything in a dream
When the tiny girl flies out to the sky
Then the time pavement is here
hane ga haete funwari
tokei no kuseni
tsubasa de ARABESUKU shiteru
Feathers grow fluffy
Even though a clock
She is doing an arabesque with wings
yume no sekai yuretara
tsukue no ue de
minna ga jitto miteita yo
When the dream world wavered
Back at my desk
Everyone was staring at me intently
dare ga dare no inemuri waratteta?
hora ne itsumo no koto dakara
mado wa sakki no suzukaze utsushiteru
mou kieta TIME PAVEMENT
Who laughed at whose dozing off?
See, it's a certainty that
The window letting in a returning cool breeze
The time pavement vanished again
kyou wa kyou no yume mite waratteta
dakara nandaka tanoshimi na DREAM
sora ni chiisana anoko mo anohito mo
nakayoku ne kawaikatta ne
Today I laughed to see today's dream
Because it was a pleasant dream
The tiny girl in the sky and that person
are becoming friends aren't they? Weren't they cute?

But I never hated Osaka as a character. I hope one day I can be like her and just not have the fear of life that much. Kaorin may be my favorite character. But Osaka has always made me feel happy. Thank you Osaka for making my life bearable

[@lastz0mbie651]

I know that feel all too well. This song might be one of the biggest reasons why I am still alive. So many dark places over the years, but this song has often been the string of hope I grabbed onto over and over again. No matter how bad everything might get, this song still exists and will continue to do so. I can't describe with words how much it means to me and what it makes me feel. It pulls me away from doom and takes me to the ethereal and carefree Raspberry Heaven. I just can't kill myself when this song exists. It alone makes everything worth it. And quickly other things join in on that, and everything somehow sorts itself out once again. Thank you Osaka

This song reminds me of late 2000s and early 2010s for some reason. It just reminds me of the happines of being a child, i used to watch a lot of anime in the tv with the kids in my neighbourhood, Azumanga Daioh was one of it, idk why but i was the only one who enjoyed azumanga daioh during that time, probably because i relate to Osaka alot and i find the random humour funny.

[@slayworldgames]

better than the Beatles

[@gabriel3903]

Man this is a really cute song, the ending always gets me sad like hearing the coocoo clock bird sound fade away with the chelos on those chords gives me this feeling of how innocent osaka is or how the early 2000s felt and how now theyre gone (except for osaka ofc, i hope shes doing fine in the azumanga-verse), i dont know how to explain it kind of makes me feel optimistic about time and feel nostalgic for a time that i wasnt born yet, oh and when i first heard this song i thought that it was about that, feeling optimistic about the passing of time but i guess i was wrong

[@BALDANDMAD]

it's good to know that osaka (or ayumu kasaga if you wanna get nerdy) has actually lifted several peoples' spirits up just because of her cute and fun personality. wherever the creators and voice actors of azumanga daioh are right now, i want to thank them so such for working together to create this beautiful manga/anime. everyone here, including me, wouldn't be the same without it.
