Be a Youth

Takahashi Yu

Shounen de Are

ぼくなんかうまれなきゃよかったの
Boku nanka umarenakya yokatta no?
きずついたこころがいう(いう
Kizutsuita kokoro ga yuu (iu)
そうおもわせるのはやつらのねらいだ
Sou omowaseru no wa yatsura no nerai da
まけるなしょうねんよ
Makeruna shounen yo

こころをやすめることすら
Kokoro o yasumeru koto sura
ゆるしてもらえなかったんだな
Yurushite morae nakattandana
もうすこしあそべ
Mou sukoshi asobe
ぬくところはぬいていけ
Nuku toko wa nui te ike
たのしいことだけをえらべ
Tanoshii koto dake o erabe

そのてをのばすさきに
Sono te o nobasu saki ni
かぎりないよろこびがあるから
Kagiri nai yorokobi ga aru kara
かかえきれないいたみは
Kakae kirenai itami wa
かかえなくてべつにいい
Kakae nakute betsuni ii

むりにくるしむひつようがどきにある
Muri ni kurushimu hitsuyou ga doki ni aru
だれしもきままでもともと
Dare shi mo kimamade moto moto
はばたけるとりのように
Habatakeru tori no you ni
うみをはねるうおのように
Umi o haneru uo no you ni
そのあそびばで
Sono asobi ba de
だれよりもじゆうに
Dare yori mo jiyuu ni
わらえるしょうねんであれ
Waraeru shounen de are

はやりのふくできかざれば
Hayari no fuku de kikazareba
あしたにはふるくなる
Ashita ni wa furukunaru
それをいかけるもいかけないのも
Sore oikakeru mo oikakenai no mo
おもしろそうなほうをえらべ
Omoshiro sou na hou o erabe

そのあしがふみだすさきに
Sono ashi ga fumidasu saki ni
かぎりないしあわせがあるから
Kagiri nai shiawase ga aru kara
わからないなやみならば
Wakaranai nayami naraba
わからなくてべつにいい
Wakaranakute betsuni ii

いそがばまわれしったかぶりするな
Iso ga ba maware shittakaburi suruna
だれしもみかんのたまもの
Dare shi mo mikan no tamamono
うまれてきた意味ならば
Umare te kita imi naraba
あとつけでもすばらしい
Ato tsuke demo subarashii
かぜにあおられ
Kaze ni aorare
せせらぎにみをまかせ
Seseragi ni mi o makase
まなべるしょうねんであれ
Manaberu shounen de are

かかえきれないいたみは
Kakaekirenai itami wa
かかえなくてべつにいい
Kakaenakute betsu ni ii
むりにくるしむ
Muri ni kurushimu
ひつようがどきにある
Hitsuyou ga doki ni aru
だれしもきままでもともと
Dare shi mo kimama de moto moto

はばたけるとりのように
Habatakeru tori no youni
うみをはねるうおのように
Umi o haneru uo o no you ni
このほしのうえ
Kono hoshi no ue
だれよりもじゆうに
Dare yori mo jiyuu ni
あいするしょうねんであれ
Aisuru shounen de are

Be a Youth

Someone like me, wouldn't it be better if I was never born?
Says a wounded heart
That’s what they want you to think
Don’t give up, youth

Even a rest for your heart
Wasn't allowed, wasn't it?
Play a little more
Get out of the boring stuff
Choose only the fun things

Ahead of your outstretched hand
There’s endless joy waiting
The pain that you can’t carry
It's fine if you don’t carry it

There’s no need to suffer unnecessarily
Everyone’s free-spirited, originally
Like a bird that can soar
Like a fish that can leap
In that playground
Freer than anyone
Be a youth who can laugh

If you dress in trendy clothes
Tomorrow those will become old
Whether you chase it or can’t catch it
Choose what seems interesting

Ahead of those feet stepping forward
There’s endless happiness waiting
If you have worries you don’t understand
It’s fine if you don’t understand it

Don’t rush and act like you know it all
Everyone’s an unfinished divine gift (賜物)
If it's about the reason for why you've been born
It’s still amazing even if you add that later
Being blown by the wind
Give yourself to the stream
Be a youth who can learn

The pain that you can’t carry
It's fine if you don’t carry it
Unnecessarily suffer
Where is the need for that?
Everyone’s free-spirited, originally

Like birds that soar the sky
Like fishes that leap above the sea
Above the stars
Freer than anyone
Be a youth who loves
