No. 1 ni naranakute mo ii
motomoto tokubetsu na Only one
    It's okay to not become No. 1
    It's more exceptional to be Only one

Hanaya no misesaki ni naranda
ironna hana o meteita
hito sorezore konomi wa aru kedo
doremo minna kirei da ne
    Lined up before a flower shop
    I saw all sorts of flowers
    I had interest in one or two but
    Everyone is prettier than any of them

Kono naka de dare ga ichiban da nante
arasou koto mo shinai de
baketsu no naka hokorashige ni
shanto muno o hatteiru
    Wondering things like who's the 'number one' here
    It's not something to fight over
    Showing off from inside buckets
    It opens your heart just a little

Sore nano ni bokura ningen wa
doushite kou mo kurabetagaru?
hitori hitori chigau no ni sono naka de
ichiban ni naritagaru?
    Even so why are we humans
    Always wanting to compare?
    Even though we're different person to person, inside of that
    Why do we want to become number one?

Sou sa  bokura wa
Sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana
hitori hitori chigau tane o motsu
sono hana o sakaseru koto dake ni
isshoukenmei ni nareba ii
    That's right, we are
    Only one flower in the world
    Each person carrying their own individual seed
    To make that flower bloom only
    We must do our best

Komatta you ni warai nagara
zutto mayotteru hito ga iru
ganbatte saita hana wa doremo
kirei dakara shikata nai ne
    As if even though they're troubled, smiling all the while
    Forever lost people exist
    Even though it's a flower bloomed with all it's might
    It's pretty as any other but, a waste, isn't it?

Yatto mise kara detekita
sono hito ga kakaeteita
iro toridori no hanataba to
ureshisou na yokogao
    Eventually someone exited the store
    That person was holding in their arms
    a bouquet of many-coloured flowers and
    their profile looked so happy

Namae mo shiranakatta keredo
ano hi boku ni egao o kureta
dare mo kizukanai you na basho de
saiteta hana no you ni
    I didn't even know their name but
    On that day they gave me a smile
    As if in a place no one's yet noticed
    A flower had bloomed

Sou sa  bokura wa
Sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana
hitori hitori chigau tane o motsu
sono hana o sakaseru koto dake ni
isshoukenmei ni nareba ii
    That's right, we are
    Only one flower in the world
    Each person carrying their own seed
    To make that flower bloom only
    We must do our best

Chiisai hana ya ooki na hana
hitotsu to shite onaji mono wa nai kara
No. 1 ni naranakute mo ii
motomoto tokubetsu na Only one
    Small flowers, big flowers
    Because there isn't one exactly the same
    It's okay to not become No. 1
    It's more exceptional to be Only one
