"世界に一つだけの花" My favourite Japanese Song-abit old school

世界に一つだけの花
花屋の店先に並んだ　
いろんな花を見ていた　
人それぞれ　好みはあるけれど　
どれもみんな　きれいだね　
この中で誰が一番だなんて　
争うこともしないで　バケツの中　
誇らしげに　しゃんと胸を張っている　

それなのに　僕ら人間は　
どうしてこうも比べたがる？　
一人一人違うのに　その中で　
一番になりたがる?　

そうさ　僕らは　世界に一つだけの花　
一人一人違う種を持つ　
その花を咲かせることだけに　
一生懸命になればいい

困ったように　笑いながら　
ずっと迷ってる人がいる　
頑張って咲いた花はどれも　
きれいだから仕方ないね　
やっと店から出てきた　
その人が抱えていた　
色とりどりの花束と　
嬉しそうな横顔

名前も知らなかったけれど　
あの日僕に笑顔をくれた　
誰も気付かないような場所で　
咲いてた花のように　
そうさ　僕らも　世界に一つだけの花　　
一人一人違う種を持つ　
その花を咲かせることだけに　
一生懸命になればいい

小さい花や　大きな花　一つとして　　　　
（小さい花　大きな花）　
同じものはないから　
No.1にならなくても　いい　
もともと特別な　Only one　

ララーラ　ラーララ　ラーララ　ラーララ・・・・・

[English Translation]
A Flower Unlike Any Other in The World - Smap

I saw many kinds of flowers lined up in front of the flowershop.
everyone has their favorite kinds but all of them are pretty.
Without competing to see which was the best among them,
they were standing straight up proudly inside the bucket.
So why then do we humans have to compare ourselves to one another?
Eventhough each and every person is different,why do we want to be number one?

Yes we are each..
a flower unlike any other in the worldand each and everyone of us carries a different seed
We should focus all our efforts on trying to make that flower bloom.
There are people who are constantly unsure of what they want,
as they laugh a little put out.
It can’t be helped, all those flowers,that did everything they could to bloom, are pretty.
when at last that person comes out of the store,
they’re holding a colorful bouquetand I see them smiling happilly as they go by me.
I never knew their name butthat day they made me smile.

we too are like flowers that bloom in places where no one pays any attention.
Yes we too are each…

a flower unlike any other in the worldand each and everyone of us carries a different seed
We should focus all our efforts on trying to make that flower bloom.
Small flowers and big flowers, none are the same as one another.
There’s no need to be No. 1
you’ve always been a very special only one
