未成年 - Aqua Timez перевод на английский

未成年

ありのままの自分を見せることができなかった十代
いつも自分と他人を比べてた
ほんとは自分らしくありたい でも居場所がない
だから他人と比べた
勝つことだけが愛を手に入れるたった一つの手段だった
人より優れていないと認めてもらえない
行儀よくしていないと大人は領いてくれない
相手の顔色を常に伺って嘘の自分を作る
知らぬ間に作り笑いだけが上手になってた
そこで手に入れたのは 空っぽのスカスカの一瞬の安心感だけだった
幸せなふりをするのはもうやめにしよう
心の底から思いっ切り笑いたいんなら
その前に 流すべき涙がある
あの頃 俺達は たった一つの物差しで順番に並べられてた
わかってくれる大人は いなかった
ありのままの俺達を誰も見てはくれなかった
そうだろう 俺の愛すべき友よ
教科書の内容が理解できても 難しい問題が解けても
何かで一番になっても 人の気持ちをわかろうとしなければ
人間はただ悲しい動物になってしまう
きちんと触れ合いの中で ぶつかり合いの中で
人の冷たさを知るんだ 温もりを感じるんだ そして気付くんだ

ありのままの自分で人と触れ合う素晴らしさを
ありのままの自分で人と向き合う素晴らしさを
ありのままの自分で人を愛する素晴らしさを

Minor

In my teens, I couldn't show you my true self, girl.
I was always comparing myself to others.
I really wanted to be myself, but I felt like I didn't belong.
So I kept comparing myself to others.
Winning was the only way I thought I could earn your love.
I felt like I wouldn't be accepted unless I was better than everyone else.
I thought adults wouldn't acknowledge me unless I was well-behaved.
I was always watching your expressions, creating a false version of myself.
Before I knew it, all I was good at was putting on a fake smile.
All I got from that was an empty, hollow, fleeting sense of security.
I'm done pretending to be happy, girl.
If I want to laugh with all my heart,
first, there are tears I need to shed.
Back then, we were all lined up and measured by a single standard.
There were no adults who understood us.
No one saw the real us.
Isn't that right, my dear friend?
Even if we understand the textbook, even if we can solve difficult problems,
even if we're the best at something, if we don't try to understand other people's feelings,
we just become sad animals.
Through genuine interactions, through clashes with each other,
we learn about the coldness of people, we feel warmth, and then we realize…

the beauty of connecting with people as our true selves.
the beauty of facing people as our true selves.
the beauty of loving people as our true selves.
