Otome-Domo Yo

Girls, Be Ambitious

Otome-Domo Yo

In a book born from love
愛から生まれた一冊の本には
ai kara umareta iisatsu no hon ni wa
There's still a single character called love that hasn't been written
まだ書かれていない恋という一文字
mada kakarete inai koi to yū hito moji

It was a boring 15 pages
退屈な15ページだった
taikutsu na juu-go peiji datta
Turning the next page, I choked and drowned
次をめくると息がつまり溺れた
tsugi o mekuru to iki ga tsumari oboreta
In this indescribable emotion
文字にできないこの感情に
moji ni dekinai kono kanjō ni
Today, I was once again unreasonably crushed
今日も理不尽に打ちのめされた
kyō mo ri fujin ni uchinomesareta

It was perfect, I didn't want to know
完璧だった知りたくなかった
keppeki datta shiritaku nakatta
The true nature of this pain
この苦しさの正体とか
kono kurushi-sa no shōtai to ka

But
だけど
dakedo
Even if I get hurt, I won't stop reading
傷ついても読むことをやめない
kizutsuite mo yomu koto o yamenai
The page that shows the real you, not just the pretty side
綺麗じゃいられない君を知るページ
kirei ja irarenai kimi o shiru peiji
Rampaging girls, resisting girls
荒ぶれ乙女たち　抗え乙女たち
arabure otome-tachi aragae otome-tachi
Knowing the pain, no need for bookmarks
痛みを知って行け　しおりはいらない
itami o shitte yuke shiori wa iranai

If we're together, what should we do?
付き合ったとして　何をすればいいの
tsukiatta to shite nani o sure ba ī no
I have to do that too, I can't, it's impossible
あれもしなきゃ駄目なのやだよ無理だよ
are mo shinakya dame na no ya da yo muri da yo
Troubled by the justice of innocence
純情という正義に悩み
junjō to yū seigi ni nayami
Today, I'm still being tossed around by the opposite sex
今日も異性に振り回されてる
kyō mo isei ni furimawasareteru

But surely, I'll love someone
それでもきっと誰かを愛して
sore de mo kitto dare ka o aishite
And turn the next page
次のページをめくるのだろう
tsugi no peiji o mekuru no darō

Never
決して
kesshite
Fear not the change that is not evil
悪ではない変化を恐れない
aku de wa nai henka o osorenai
Even if laughed at by the past, raise your middle finger
過去に笑われても中指立てろ
kako ni warawarete mo nakayubi tatero
Clear-hearted girls, fight girls
胸晴れ乙女たち　戦え乙女たち
mune hare otome-tachi tatakae otome-tachi
Hearts that aren't just tears are warm
涙ばかりじゃないハートは温かい
namida bakari ja nai hāto wa atatakai

As I read on, a different pain
読み進めればまた違う痛み
yomisusumereba mata chigau itami
Unfamiliar but seems enjoyable
慣れないけれど楽しんでそう
narenai keredo tanoshinde sō

Today, girls are falling in love again
今日も乙女たちは恋に堕ちてゆく
kyō mo otome-tachi wa koi ni ochite yuku
Passing by each other, locking eyes
すれ違いをしたり見つめ合えたり
surechigai o shitari mitsumeae tari
I still don't know, haven't even met
今はまだ知らない出会ってすらいない
ima wa mada shiranai deatte sura inai
There might be a tomorrow where I'm connected with someone
誰かと結ばれる明日があるかも
dare ka to musubareru ashita ga aru ka mo

So
だから
dakara
Even if I get hurt, I won't stop reading
傷ついても読むことをやめない
kizutsuite mo yomu koto o yamenai
The page that shows the love that can't stay pretty
綺麗じゃいられない恋を知るページ
kirei ja irarenai koi o shiru peiji
Rampaging girls, resisting girls
荒ぶれ乙女たち　抗え乙女たち
arabure otome-tachi aragae otome-tachi
Knowing the pain, no need for bookmarks
痛みを知って行け　しおりはいらない
itami o shitte yuke shiori wa iranai
Now, onto the next page
さあ次のページへ
saa tsugi no peiji e
