ナハトムジーク

• By: Mrs. GREEN APPLE

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

胸の痛み

Pain in my chest

喉を伝い

Trickling down my throat

聲にならない

Can't become words

夜の帷

Night's curtain

優しくいたい

I want to be gentle

素直でも在りたいのに

I want to be honest too

僕らはヘタクソに生きてる

We're living all wrong

駄目でもいい？

Is it okay to be no good?

弱くていい？

Is it okay to be weak?

教えてよ

Tell me

抱きしめる

Hold me tight

幾通り いつも通り 強く酷く

In many ways, just like always, strongly and fiercely

触れ合えばわかるから

When we touch, you'll understand

愛されたいのに いつも通り

Even though I want to be loved, just like always

間違いばかりの今日をまず愛そうか

Let's first love today that's full of mistakes

あゝ理想だ

Ah, how ideal that sounds

狂おしく頬を擦り寄せて歌を唄う

Lovingly pressing cheeks and singing

暗闇の中の光が傷跡に染みるが

The light in the darkness seeps into the scars, but

矛盾こそ生き抜く為の美だ

Contradictions are the beauty that helps us survive

抱きしめてあげてね

Hold me close

虚ろな日々でも

Even on hollow days

乱した呼吸を整えて ほら

Calm your hurried breathing, look

「愛されたい」は報われるかな？

Will being loved be rewarded?

手を取り 微弱な風に揺られて

Holding hands, swaying gently in the faint breeze

無茶苦茶なこの世界を愛そうか

Shall we love this chaotic world?

塵みたいなもんでしょう

It's probably just dust after all

勝手に積んできたんでしょう？

You’ve been piling it up yourself, haven't you?

いつの日か崩れても

Even if one day it all collapses

誰のせいでもないよ

It’s nobody’s fault

歩くのが疲れたの？

Are you tired of walking?

むしろ正常でしょう？

Actually, isn’t that normal?

全て無駄に思えても

Even if everything seems pointless

君は正しいんだよ

You’re right

「研ぎ澄まして」

Sharpen your senses

抱きしめる

Hold me tight

幾通り いつも通り 強く柔く

In many ways, just like always, strongly and softly

確かなものじゃ無いから

Because nothing is certain

触れ合えど 釦はズレていきますが

Even when we touch, buttons shift and come undone

愛したい

I want to love

最期まで信じたい

I want to keep believing until the end

見事さ

What a wonderful thing

また間違えて 履き違えてく

Again, I misjudge and misunderstand

不器用な

Clumsy yet lovely fool

愛しいボンクラ

We're equals

等しい僕ら。
