When I think back and have a look at myself

心は穏やかで

If I have pure dreams

ちょっとだけ嬉しくなる

I feel a bit happy.

子供には分かってる簡単なことも

Kodomo ni wa wakatte'ru kantan na koto mo

Even something simple that a child can understand

大人には分からなくなってしまう？

Now where is that me that I held in aspiration

I've forgotten my hopes and my dreams somewhere.

常識外れのことはできないよ

立ち返り今を見てる

Tachikaeri ima o mite'ru

Coming back, I look at myself now.

毎日は厳しくて

Each day is tough.

ちょっとだけ休んでみる？

So should I have just a little break?

そういうの駄目なんです。

No you can't.

内側へ向かってく自分の意識は

What I'm conscious of inside me

外側を届けない それがもどかしく

人に遠慮して戸惑うことと

Hito ni enryo shite tomadou koto to

Being reserved and uncertain with other people,

騙し騙しでやってきた気持ちに

and feelings that come along while trying to manage,

折り合いをつけず毎日を回していたら

oriai o tsukezu mainichi o mawashite itara

suppose I repeat each day without coming to terms with them,

自分に素直にならないことが

jibun ni sunao ni naranai koto ga

then how sad is it, in fact,

実はどんなに悲しいんだろうって

jitsu wa donna ni kanashii n darō tte

not to be honest with myself.

考えるままに

While still thinking that,

今日が終わりました。

the day is over.

今、生きてるの？生きてるよ。

Ima, ikite'ru no? Ikite'ru yo.

Are you alive now? Yes I am.

鏡の前の僕は

Kagami no mae no boku wa

Me in front of the mirror,

生きてるの？生きてるよ。

ikite'ru no? Ikite'ru yo.

are you alive? Yes I am.

どんなことを思ってる。

Donna koto o omotte'ru.

What are you thinking?

ただ、生きてるの？生きてるよ。

Tada, ikite'ru no? Ikite'ru yo.

Just, are you alive? Yes I am.

それだけでもいいかい？

Soredake de mo ii kai?

Is that OK as it is?

生きてるの？生きてるよ。

Ikite'ru no? Ikite'ru yo.

Are you alive? Yes I am.

そういうのもありだろう。

Sōiu no mo ari darō.

That's not so bad is it.

これまでの僕をまとめた言葉は

Kore made no boku o matometa kotoba wa

Words that describe me up to now

違う、人生は　（僕の人生は）
