それが一番大切なんだ

Meaning: that is the most important
  • それ means ‘that’.
  • が is a topic marking particle and does not mean anything.
  • 一番(いち・ばん)means ‘the best’.
  • 大切な(たい・せつ・な)means ‘important’.
  • んだ comes after verbs or adjectives.

んだ

It is a copula conjugation and does not mean anything.

It works like です, but more casual and informal.

さあ心のままに365日

Meaning: OK, 365 days as you follow your heart
  • さあ (sa a) means ‘well’, ‘come on’, or ‘OK’ etc.
  • さあ can be used at the start of a sentence to encourage or cheer people.
  • 心(こころ/ko ko ro)means ‘heart’.

心のままに(こころのままに/ko ko ro no ma ma ni)

This is hard to translate. It could be like ‘as you follow your heart’.

  • 365日(にち)means ‘365 days’.
