Original / Romaji Lyrics | English Translation |
---|---|
Majime ni kyoukasho hiraite Tadashii koto wo takusan shitta Oboeru tame ni wasurete yuku Ari no mama no boku jishin wo Mou itai no wa iya dakara | Diligently opened my textbook, And knew many correct things In order to learn, always forgetting About who I am now Because I would rather not hurt anymore |
Otehon to terashiawasete Aimai na kijun de kotaeawase Machigai no kaitou ni wa Ooki na akai batsu wo Ibitsu na katachi no kono ai ni | I compared with an example Only by checking my answers against vague standards Drawing a large red X to cross out The incorrect answers And this distorted love |
Gomi ni dashita hazu na no ni Asa ni wa motodoori Kimi wo omotteru | Were supposed to have been thrown out with the trash, This morning, as ever, I am thinking of you |
Kawaranakute mo ii koto mo arunda Boku ga boku de aru tame ni Tatoe kizutsukete kizutsuita to shite mo | It's okay for some things to not change To be what I am Even if I have always been hurt by being compared * |
Ooki na akai marujirushi Konna no boku janainda yo Tsutaetai kimochi mune no naka Hontou no jibun nakushita mama Homete kureta tte ureshikunainda | On the line on the test for my name That isn't this 'me' With the feelings I want to convey still in my heart, And having lost my true self, I'm not happy that I was praised |
Itsu made mo mikansei no mama da Konna boku wo kore ga boku da to ieru you ni | I'm always going to be incomplete So that I can say of myself, 'This is me' |
Kawaranakute mo ii koto mo arunda Boku ga boku de aru tame ni Tatoe kizutsukete kizutsuite mo | It's okay for some things to not change To be what I am Even if I hurt from being compared to others |
Zutto kawaranakatta mono ga arunda Boku ga boku de aru tame ni Kizu wo seoinagara ikeru tokoro made Aruite yukou | There are some things that have never changed To be what I am Going as far as I can while burdened by these scars, I am walking forth |
"To be what I am" is how the original artist of the song translated the title "boku ga boku de aru tame ni", so I also used that translation throughout the song when that phrase was used even though it is not the most natural or clear way to phrase it. * This (and its corresponding repetition toward the end) was an ambiguous line in the song that I was unable to completely resolve. To go with the theme of the song, I decided to translate "tatoe kizutsukete" as a made-up compound verb.
