Lyrics
[Intro: quiet room tone, faint spoon stirring in a mug]
[Verse: spoken-sung male vocal, soft acoustic guitar]
[Pre-Chorus: old upright piano enters gently]
[Chorus: fragile male vocal, very soft female harmony in the background]
[Bridge: almost a whisper, sparse piano only]
[Final Chorus: warm but restrained, no drums, emotional peak]
[Outro: spoon stirring sound fades into silence]
自分で豆ひいてドリップして、
ポタポタ落ちていくさまをじっと見ながら
うまいコーヒーできるのを待ってるときの
喜びを だって 知っているから
インスタントコーヒーじゃやっぱり物足りなかったよな
自慢の喫茶店 あんまり紹介したくない
ブラジル豆をベースにブレンドが絶妙なんだよ
いっときハマってた
砂糖なんて入れちゃいけないって思ってた
年取って久しぶりに入れたインスタントコーヒー
これだって銘柄で全然違うんだ
これを注いだら
お母さんがそばに居る
お母さんがそばに居る
だから僕はスプーンでかき混ぜる
一生懸命に僕をチャリに乗っけて
山道をこいで
家まで連れて帰ってくれた
その家ももう取り壊された
ほんのいっしゅん、そうしていたら
僕も白髪まじりだよ
コーヒーが溶けるほんの一瞬に
お母さんがそばに居た
お母さんがそばに居た
インスタントには叶わない
思い出には叶わない
愛してくれてありがとう
産んでくれてありがとう
大好きだよ
愛してる
なんもかわんない
愛している
[instrument:mandolin solo]
(English Lyrics)
[Intro]
Room stays still
Spoon taps the mug
[Verse 1]
I used to grind my own beans,
Pour hot water slow, watch it drip drop down,
Stand there waitin' for a damn good cup,
Yeah, I knew that little kind of joy,
So instant coffee never quite did the job
[Verse 2]
Had this coffee shop I was proud of,
Didn’t wanna tell just anybody where it was,
Brazil beans in the blend, smooth as hell,
For a while I was hooked real bad,
Thought puttin' sugar in was some kinda crime
[Pre-Chorus]
Then I got older,
Made some instant coffee after years
[Chorus]
Soon as I poured it in,
My mama was right there
My mama was right there
So I stir it with a spoon
[Verse 3]
She'd throw me on the bicycle,
Pushin' hard up that mountain road,
Haulin' me all the way back home
That house got torn down now,
And in one blink of time,
I got gray mixed in my hair,
While the coffee melts away
[Chorus]
My mama was right there
My mama was right there
[Bridge]
Fancy stuff can't beat instant coffee
Nothin' can beat old memories
Thanks for lovin' me
Thanks for bringin' me here
[Final Chorus]
Love you big
Love you still
Ain't changed none
Love you still
[Outro]
Spoon keeps turnin'
Then nothin'
[Verse: spoken-sung male vocal, soft acoustic guitar]
[Pre-Chorus: old upright piano enters gently]
[Chorus: fragile male vocal, very soft female harmony in the background]
[Bridge: almost a whisper, sparse piano only]
[Final Chorus: warm but restrained, no drums, emotional peak]
