Lyrics & Translation

[English]

With pointless stories

And annoying you

In these mundane days

I pour myself into

The weariness spills out

The food still hasn't arrived

Work isn't getting done

Every day feels stagnant

Just sighs all around

And then I spectacularly trip again

Spilling coffee on my freshly washed shirt

I can at least commend your forward-leaning posture

On the tree-lined street, shoulders droop

With added patterns and accent colors

Ah, every day really gets on my nerves

Even if I do things I don't want to

Or wake up early reluctantly

It doesn't mean something wonderful

Will come my way or anything like that

Today, I'll try my best again

Because I only know how to go all out

Clumsy and stubborn

May luck be with us, the overly serious ones

I stop for a moment, putting down the heavy load

If I forget yesterday, it's the same

Basking in daylight, stretching my wings

Or maybe I should secretly let it all out under the moonlight

But before that, let's talk about this and that

To do that, first, I need to tidy this up

But what time is it now? No, before that

Today is just as noisy as ever

I want to laze around for about a month

Without thinking about anything

I want to rest slowly, play, and sleep

There are days I think like that

But I've finally made it this far

I can't end it here

The tough times will someday

Become stories to laugh about, I believe

So today, I'll try my best again

Singing love with all my might

（Taking a deep breath）

Ah, what a truly wonderful day

Even if I do things I don't want to

Or wake up early reluctantly

Just touching a little bit of happiness

Makes everything feel possible

Shall I try my best again tomorrow?

I will live life to the fullest

Clumsy and stubborn

May luck be with you, the overly serious one

Do my thing, do your thing

Relax your shoulders and be flexible

Again, do my thing, do your thing

Just stretch a little more

Ah, it really gets on my nerves

But still, I'm living in the now

Clumsy and stubborn

May luck be with you, the overly serious one

...

[Japanese]

くだんない話と

うざったい貴様と

なみなみの日々に

注がれてく

怠いが溢れ出してく

飯がまだ届かない

仕事は片付かない

うだつの上がらない

毎日にため息ばかり

でまたド派手にすっころび

洗い立てのシャツにこぼすコーヒー

前のめりその姿勢だけは褒めて良し

肩落とす並木通り

増えた柄と差し色に

嗚呼 本当嫌んなる毎日だ

やりたくないことやったって

嫌々早起きしたって

その分素敵な何かが

訪れるとかそんなわけでもないのにさ

今日もまた頑張っちゃうよな

がむしゃら以外知らないから

不器用で意地っ張りで

馬鹿真面目な僕らに幸あれ

重くなってきた荷物をちょっと置いて立ち止まり

昨日の事なんざ忘れちまえば同じ

浴びるDay light 羽根伸ばし

それか月夜にこっそりと吐き出してしまえば良い

でもその前にアレとコレの話

その為には先ずはソレを片し

って今は何時？ いやその前に

今日もなんだかんだ騒がしい毎度あり

1ヶ月くらい何にも

考えずだらだらしていたいな

ゆっくり休んで遊んで眠っていたいな

って思う日もあるけれど

やっとここまできたんだよ

ここじゃ終われないんだよ

辛いきついもいつかは

笑い話にできると信じてるんだほら

今日もまた頑張っちゃうからさ

がむしゃらに愛を歌うからさ

（目一杯吸い込んだ空気）

嗚呼 本当素晴らしい毎日だ

やりたくないことやったって

嫌々早起きしたって

ほんの少しの幸せに

触れるだけで全部 全部ありに思えるんだ

明日もまた頑張ってみようか

がむしゃらに生きていくんだ

不器用で意地っ張りで

馬鹿真面目な僕らに幸あれ

Do my thing, do your thing

肩の力を抜いて柔軟に

Again, do my thing, do your thing

あと1ミリ背伸び

嗚呼 本当嫌んなっちゃうよな

それでも今を生きている

不器用で意地っ張りで

馬鹿真面目なあなたに幸あれ
