Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

胸ぐらを掴まれて

By grabbing my collar,

強烈なパンチを食らってよろけて

I get hit with a mighty punch and stumble back,

肩を並べうずくまった

We squat side by side,

予報通りの雨にお前はにやけて

You smirk at the rain, just as predicted,

「傷口が綺麗になる」なんて嘘をつく

You lie and say, 'The wound will heal beautifully.'

いつも口喧嘩さえうまく出来ないくせして

Even though you’re always bad at arguing,

冴えない冗談言うなよ

Don’t speak such lame jokes.

あまりのつまらなさに目が潤んだ

And I get teary-eyed because it’s just so boring.

何度も青アザだらけで涙を 流して 流して

again and again, with blue bruises, I shed tears, shed tears,

不安定な心を肩に預け合いながら

Sharing our unstable hearts on each other's shoulders,

腐り切ったバッドエンドに抗う

Fighting against a rotten, hopeless ending.

なぜだろう 喜びよりも心地よい痛み

I wonder why—more than joy, it’s a pain that feels so good.

ずっしりと響いて

It hits deep,

濡れた服に舌打ちしながら

While clicking my tongue at my wet clothes,

腫れ上がった顔を見合って笑う

We laugh while looking at each other's swollen faces.

土砂降りの夜に 誓ったリベンジ

On a rain-soaked night, I vowed revenge.

胸ぐらを掴み返して

I grab your collar back,

反撃のパンチを繰り出すくらいじゃなきゃ

And unless I counterattack with a punch,

お前の隣には立てないから

I can’t stand beside you.

相手が何であれ日和らない

No matter who the opponent is, I don’t waver.

何度伸されても諦めない

No matter how many times I stretch myself, I won’t give up.

忘れるな忘れるなと言い聞かせ続けたのに

Even though I keep telling myself, ‘Don’t forget, don’t forget,’

傘はいらないから言葉を一つくれないか

I wonder, could you give me a word instead of saying I don’t need an umbrella?

微温い優しさではなく

Not lukewarm kindness,

弱音に侵された胸の奥を抉るような言葉を

But words that pierce through the heart, invaded by weakness,

何度も青アザだらけで涙を 流して 流して

Again and again, with blue bruises, tears flow, flow,

不安定な心を肩に預け合いながら

Sharing our unstable hearts on each other's shoulders,

腐り切ったバッドエンドに抗う

Fighting against a rotten, hopeless ending.

なぜだろう 喜びよりも心地よい痛み

I wonder why—more than joy, it’s a pain that feels so good.

ずっしりと響いて

It hits deep,

濡れた服に舌打ちしながら

While clicking my tongue at my wet clothes,

腫れ上がった顔を見合って笑う

We laugh while looking at each other's swollen faces.

土砂降りの夜に

On a rain-soaked night,

囚われの日々に

In these days of being trapped,

問いかけるように

I ask as if questioning,

光った瞳の中で

In your shining eyes,

誓ったリベンジ

I vow revenge.
