Teenage Solution

• By: モーニング娘。'21

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

誰にも気付かせたりはしないわ

I won't let anyone notice

冷めた感情

A cold emotion

一人で居るの　何も怖くないし

Being alone, I'm not scared of anything

それでも

Still

誰かと過ごす土曜なんかは

On Saturdays spent with someone

無邪気に１００均で戯(フザ)けて

I play innocently at the 100 yen shop

どうでもいいのを　余分に買った

I bought extra things that don't matter

本当はそんなんじゃないの

But that's not really how I feel

「逃げてる」じゃない

It's not that I'm "running away"

去年のように誰かん家(ち)

Like last year, at someone's house

お泊まりしたり・・・「したい」

I want to stay over... "I want to"

でもそれじゃ　私のこの胸(へん)が

But if that's the case, my heart

「Muuそうじゃないでしょ？」

Isn't it "Muu, that's not it?"

そう言って怒っている

Saying that, I'm getting angry

Wow

Wow

Teenage Solution

Teenage Solution

誰にも解(と)けない

Can't be solved by anyone

Ah 年上の君でも

Ah, even if you're older

今は無理だよ

It's impossible right now

愛があっても

Even with love

私自身　心中(こころじゅう)　どっこも

I'm not troubled at all

困ってないし

So it's fine, just leave me alone

そうだから　全然　ほっておいていいよ

Still

それでも

それでも

みんなの空気とかを　なんとなく

If I'm somehow making everyone feel awkward

気まずくさせちゃっているなら

Then I guess I'm just in my room

やっぱし私　お部屋にいるし

I wonder why, I don't like it myself

なんでだろ　自分でも嫌(や)なの

I want to have fun

楽しみたいし

楽しみたいし

去年のように誰かを

Like last year, with someone

「好き」とか「嫌い」とか・・・「語りたい」

I want to talk about "like" or "dislike"

でもそれじゃ　私のこの頭(へん)が

But if that's the case, my head

こうノックしてくる

Keeps knocking like this

未来はね「待ってない」と

The future, you know, "isn't waiting"

Wow

Wow

Teenage Solution

Teenage Solution

見つかりっこない

Can't be found

Ah イラつきのMidnight blue

Ah, the irritation of Midnight blue

理解(わか)っているよ

I understand

君のやさしさ

Your kindness

こんな笑顔で良ければ　あげる

If this smile is okay, I'll give it to you

寂しいとか思わないし

I don't think about loneliness

退屈にも思わない

I don't think it's boring either

ただ　無性にイラつく時があるの

It's just that sometimes I feel inexplicably irritated

自分に・・・

With myself...

Wow

Wow

Teenage Solution

Teenage Solution

誰にも解(と)けない

Can't be solved by anyone

Ah 年上の君でも

Ah, even if you're older

今は出来ない

I can't do it right now

Wow

Wow

Teenage Solution

Teenage Solution

見つかりっこない

Can't be found

Ah イラつきのMidnight blue

Ah, the irritation of Midnight blue

理解(わか)っているよ

I understand

Oh 君のやさしさ

Oh, your kindness

「だけど」

"But"

今は無理みたい・・・

It seems impossible right now...
