美空ひばり「一本の鉛筆」 Hibari Misora - One Pencil

Hibari Misora ​​offers us a song with very emotional, thought-provoking and cleverly arranged lyrics. It's as if, the lyrics are about someone who wants to write a last letter to his/her loved ones at the most terrifying moment of the war, but cannot find even a pencil or a piece of paper around.
Hibari Misora ​​presents this last letter, which that person could not write, to today's Japan (or for all the world) with lyrics full of compassion and also as a warning against war.
We lost the apostle of peace, Hibari Misora, 35 years ago, but I wanted to remind to everyone once again of her song full of love for human and longing for peace.
"One Pencil" was a single released in August 1974, with a peace and anti-war theme.「一本の鉛筆」は1974年8月に発売されたシングルで、平和・反戦をテーマにしたもの。
Lyrics: Zenzo Matsuyama/Composer: Masaru Sato
I want you to listen
I want you to read
I want you to sing
I want you to believe
If I had one pencil
I would write my love for you
If I had one pencil
I would write that I don't want war
I want to send you love
I want to send you dreams
I want to send you spring
I want to give you the world
If I had a piece of rough paper
I would write that I want a child
If I had a piece of rough paper
I would write that I want you back
If I had one pencil
I would write that it was the morning of August 6th
If I had one pencil
I would write that it was human life
Japanese Lyrics
あなたに 聞いてもらいたい
あなたに 読んでもらいたい
あなたに 歌ってもらいたい
あなたに 信じてもらいたい
一本の鉛筆が あれば
私はあなたへの 愛を書く
一本の鉛筆が あれば
戦争はいやだと 私は書く
あなたに 愛をおくりたい
あなたに 夢をおくりたい
あなたに 春をおくりたい
あなたに 世界をおくりたい
一枚のザラ紙が あれば
私は子供が 欲しいと書く
一枚のザラ紙が あれば
あなたをかえしてと 私は書く
一本の鉛筆が あれば
八月六日の 朝と書く
一本の鉛筆が あれば
人間のいのちと 私は書く
