When you are happy
And you know it.
Clap your hands.
When you are happy
And you know it.
And you really want to show it.
Clap your hands.
When you are happy
And you know it.
- Pat your cheeks.
- Click your fingers.
- Flap your arms.
- Roll your hands.
- Stamp your foot.
- Jump up high.
- Say hurray.
単語
pat:軽くたたく、なでる

The Right Choice
http://www.4to40.com/story/index.asp?id=459
Undesirable, she had to go with the parents. A week later, in Delhi, Smriti became ill. She was irritated with the situation and wished to go back to Mumbai. She told her mother that she wanted to go back. Her father met with a serious accident and they had no one to look after. Her mother also realized that their happiness was not complete. She realized that her daughter and husband missed the warmth and love of a family. He realized the mistake she made by leaving her Smriti’s grandfather alone.
The next day, Smirti’s mother went and apologized to the old man and all of them lived happily ever after.

Because of you
http://lyrics.astraweb.com/
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far(決して深入りしてない)
＊getは到達するという意味がある
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
単語
break:壊す
stray:（脇道に）それる、よける
When I was high school student,I liked this song. I liked melody,and I did'nt know lylic.I thougt beautiful love ballard... but I watched this song's PV yesterday,so I found this song is lonely song.Now,I understood this lylic.
I don't like to read english story or poem.Sometimes I find interesting story or poem.But I am interested in what means english song's lylics.But It hard to translate english lylics perfect for Japanese.So I wanna study story or poem too.
