Paroles et traduction Miyuki Nakajima - Why & No

Why & No

何か変だと第六感が
今うしろ髪引っ張った
だけど訊いたら気まずいようで
ここで訊いたら間が悪いようで
何か変だと寒気のように
今いやな感じがした
だけど訊いたら機嫌損ねそう
ここで訊いたらアタマ悪そうで
根拠もないし証拠もないし
理屈では敵わない
でもだいたいそういうのが
当たりなんだよね
訊くべきだったね
「なんでさ」ってね
間に合わせの納得で
黙り込まないで
もしかしたら世の中は
そういうものかもしれないなんて
そういうものなんて
あるもんか
訊けばいいじゃんいいじゃん
「なんでさ」ってね
訊けばいいじゃんいいじゃん
「Why and no and no」
どこか痛いと心の鱗
無理に剥がれる音がした
だけど異論は無礼なようで
進めなければ時間ないようで
どこか痛いと匂いのように
疑わしさがそそけ立つ
だけど異論は間違いなようで
進めなければ仕方ないようで
いつもそうだ繰り返しだ
その弱味知られてる
甘いもんだと
ちょろいもんだと
エサになっている
言うべきだったね
「ことわる」ってね
その場しのぎのお愛想は
もうたくさんだ
もしかしたら世の中が
正しいものかもしれないなんて
正しい他人なんて
あるもんか
言えばいいじゃんいいじゃん
「ことわる」ってね
言えばいいじゃんいいじゃん
「Why and no and no」
手抜きせんで言えばいいじゃん
「Why and no」

Why & No

When my intuition tells me that something is amiss
I feel it tugging at my scalp
But I'm reluctant to ask, as it would only make things awkward
If I ask now, it would be the wrong moment
I feel a chill run down my spine
An uneasy feeling consumes me
But I'm afraid to ask, lest it offend you
If I ask now, I might seem foolish
I have no proof or evidence to support my claim
And so, my logic fails
But more often than not, these instincts
Turn out to be right
I should have asked
"Why?" I should have said
Instead of accepting a half-hearted explanation
I should have refused to be silenced
Perhaps the world
Is inherently like this, you might say
Inherently like this?
No, it can't be
Just ask, why don't you, my dear?
"Why?" you should have said
Just ask, why don't you, my dear?
"Why and no and no"
A scale forms over my heart, a dull ache
It's as if its scales were being forcibly peeled away
But it seems disrespectful to dissent
As if we must keep moving, for time is of the essence
A scent, a pang, a disquieting doubt
It fills my senses, this suspicion
Yet it feels wrong to disagree
As if I have no choice but to comply
It's always the same, over and over
They know my weakness
They think I'm a pushover
A gullible fool
They prey on me
I should have said
"No, I refuse" I should have said
I'm tired of your empty platitudes
I've had enough
Perhaps the world
Is always right, you might say
A righteous stranger?
No, it can't be
Just say it, why don't you, my dear?
"No, I refuse" you should have said
Just say it, why don't you, my dear?
“Why and no and no”
Don't cut corners, just say it
“Why and no”
