Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

息が詰まるような日々が続いたら

If days become so suffocating,

休暇を取ればいい

it's okay to take a break.

あの人も上手にちゃんとやれてるし

That person is managing just fine,

バカンスに行っちゃえばいい

so why not go on vacation?

気にしないように「したり」

Trying not to worry, I just do what I can,

守るために「戦う」毎日

Fighting to protect each day.

ちょっと、待って、

Hey, wait a moment—

笑うしかないはずなのに

Even though I should just be laughing...

涙が出ちゃう 急に

Suddenly tears spill out,

追いつけない人がいる

because I can't catch up to someone.

そのマジカルを

That magic in you—

ただ恥じちゃう自分が居る

makes me feel embarrassed just to be myself.

いつかはね

Someday, you know...

僕は諦めてしまうのでしょうか

Will I end up giving up?

辛いことばっかじゃないって事を

Letting you know that not everything is painful,

僕に教えたい 教えたい 教えたい

I want to teach you, really, I want to teach you, I want to teach you.

ぐだぐだ時間は過ぎていくけど

Even as dull time passes by,

ちょっぴり甘いくらいな

There’s a hint of sweetness—

ほろ苦いが

A slightly bitter taste,

愛じゃない？

Isn't that love?

やっぱり好きなことをするくらいは

It's okay to do what you love, at least a little, right?

いいじゃない？

Isn't that fine?

人が集う 週末

On weekends when people gather,

列が混み 順番待ち要員

Queues get long, waiting their turn,

上手にやって見えるあの人も

Even that person who seems to handle it so well,

どこかで傷つき得た オンとオフを

Has experienced wounds somewhere, both on and off,

嫌われたくないし

I don’t want to be disliked,

なんなら皆んなに好かれたいし

and I want everyone to like me if I can.

ちょっとだけ

Just a little...

無理してる自分が気持ち悪くて

Feeling weird about myself trying so hard...

涙も出ない0時

By midnight, tears won’t even come,

愛とか恋とか

Love, or romance—

友情とかわからないけど

Friendship, I don't really understand,

難しく考えなくていい

but you don’t need to think so hard about it.

どこかに

Somewhere—

私を待ってる人は居るのでしょうか

there is someone waiting for me.

辛いことばっかじゃないって事を

Letting you know that not everything is painful,

君に教えたい 教えたい 教えたい

I want to teach you, really, I want to teach you, I want to teach you.

結局 遠くへ行っちゃうけども

In the end, we might go far away,

笑える今日を大事にしまっておこう

but I want to cherish today, where I can still smile.

いつかはバイバイ バイバイ バイバイ

Someday, it'll be goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

羨ましい人ばかりの 人集り

A gathering of people filled with envy,

好きって伝えてみたい 君に

I want to tell you I like you.

楽しくない日もね あるのは

Even on days when things aren’t fun,

否めやしないけどね

it’s true, but—

辛いことばっかじゃないって事を

I know that not everything is painful.

僕はわかってる わかってる わかってる

Really, I understand, I understand, I understand.

いつか君は忘れるでしょう

Someday, you will forget,

僕と過ごした日々を香りを

the days and the scents we shared.

息が詰まるような日々が続いたら

If days become so suffocating,

ちょっぴり休めばいい

it’s okay to take a little break.

休めばいい 休んじゃえばいい

Just rest, go ahead and rest.
