Текст и перевод песни Mao Abe - どうしますか、あなたなら

どうしますか、あなたなら

「良い自分」で居たいと思うほど 苦しい
こうあるべきだと ずっと信じてきた
大人になる度 間違えられなくて
甘えることなど もう忘れてた

綺麗な丸をもらえても それ本当に欲しいのか？
私が目指してきたものは 果たして正しかったのか？
違うかも

完璧な自分を諦める勇気を
ダメな自分も愛せる生き方を
それなりの昨日が連れてくる明日は
きっと これまでのどの私とも違う顔
道はすでに開いてる
時は来た さぁ今
踏み出さねば分からないよ
どうしますか、あなたなら

"溜め込み詰め込め"ってバカみたいな教えに
それで良しと皆 目を瞑るけど

綺麗な丸は躓けば そのまま止まらず転げるよ
叩いて折れちゃう強さなら それは強さじゃ無いかもね
違うかな？

完璧になれればそれで良いと思った
だけどそれでは笑えぬ毎日で
湧き上がる思いが導いた先には
きっと そこでしか出会えない私の笑顔
ずるい奴は許せない
それで良いじゃん。分かるよ
本当の声隠さないで
どうしたいの？あなたはさ

完璧になれればそれで良いと思った
だけどそれは私じゃなくて
そのままの自分を見てくれる貴方とずっと
そのままの私で歩きたいから

完璧な自分を諦める勇気を
ダメな自分も愛せる生き方を
それなりの昨日が連れてくる明日は
きっと これまでのどの私とも違う顔
道はすでに開いてる
時は来た さぁ今
踏み出さねば分からないよ
どうしますか、あなたなら

What would you do if you were me?

I was always told to be “good” and I always wanted to be
I always thought I had to be a certain way
As I grew older, I was afraid to make mistakes
I had forgotten how to rely on others

I was praised for my good grades, but do I really want them?
The path I was on, was it the right one for me?
Maybe not

I found the courage to give up on perfection
I learned to love myself, even my flaws
If I accept my past, tomorrow
I will be a new person
The path is already open
The time has come, so
Take a step forward and you’ll see
What would you do if you were me?

We were taught to “hold it in” and “push through,”
Everyone else seems to be able to do it

Good grades can be a burden, they can hold you back
Strength that can be broken is not real strength
Am I wrong?

I thought that if I was perfect I would be happy
But that was not the case
I listened to my heart, and it led me to
A smile that I could only find there
I hate cheaters
That’s okay. I understand
Don’t hide your true voice
What do you want to do? You tell me

I thought that if I was perfect I would be happy,
But that wasn’t me
I want you to see me for who I am, and I want to be with you forever
As the person I really am

I found the courage to give up on perfection
I learned to love myself, even my flaws
If I accept my past, tomorrow
I will be a new person
The path is already open
The time has come, so
Take a step forward and you’ll see
What would you do if you were me?
