Текст и перевод песни UNISON SQUARE GARDEN - 僕は君になりたい

僕は君になりたい

君がうらやましいよ 僕にないもの持っているから
そんな風に比べてしまう ふわふわ 年頃です
立ち止まっても近づいてくる 大人の階段がもどかしい
今はお願いもう少しだけ 遠回りさせてよ
驚いたな よく似合うよ 髪を切ったんだね
まるで僕が目の前にもう一人現れたみたい
僕は君になりたいのに 君は僕になりたいのにさ
誰かの声が邪魔をして 素直になれないよ
雨に打たれた放課後や 並木道の帰り道とか
同じ景色なはずなのに 僕らには違って見えるのかな
君がうらやましいよ 僕にないもの持っているから
手を伸ばせば届くのかな 背伸びをしたくなる
逃げることできないルールが じわじわ体を重くさせる
いつ、どこ、誰 決めたのかな 好きな風にしたいのに
君の手をとり 街に出るよ 誰も触れないように
大丈夫さ 不安でも 同じ空気を吸ってやる
僕は君になりたいのに 君は僕になりたいのにさ
誰かの声が邪魔をして 素直になれないよ
君の涙見たくないよ だから僕がそっと隠すよ
募る想いがあるのなら 僕宛に手紙でも書きなよ
みんなと違ったら 普通じゃないって思うのかな
けれど だけど でもね
みんな違うから 普通じゃないは 普通だよ
そんな気持ち 聞こえるかな
幾つもの声が行き交う 憧れという名の交差点
誰もが何かを求めて ふわふわ 年頃です
僕は君になりたいから 君は僕になりたいからさ
誰かの声を聞きながら 今素直になるよ
見える景色は僕だけの そして君だけの宝物
そろそろおうちに着くけど もう少し遠回りしようよ

I Want to Be Like You

Oh honey, I envy you so, you have something that I do not
That's how I end up comparing myself to you, my mind's in a haze and I'm in that restless, youthful phase
I've stood still, yet I feel like I'm growing closer to becoming an adult, and it makes me impatient
Hey, could you please let me have a little more time? I'd like to take the scenic route
I was surprised to see how well it suited you when you cut your hair
It was almost as if I was looking at another version of myself
I want to be like you, and yet you want to be like me
Someone else's opinion gets in the way and I can't be honest about it
Even in the rain just after school, or on the way back home along the tree-lined road,
Even when we see the same things, do we see them differently?
Oh honey, I envy you so, you have something that I do not
If I reach out, will it be enough? I want to stretch and get taller
I can't escape these rules, and they're weighing me down little by little
Who, when, and where? Who decided this? I want to do things my own way
I'll hold your hand and we'll go out into the city, just the two of us
It'll be okay. Don't worry. We'll breathe the same air
I want to be like you, and yet you want to be like me
Someone else's opinion gets in the way and I can't be honest about it
I don't want to see you cry, so I'll tuck your tears away
If you've got something you want to say, write me a letter
If you're different from everyone else, does that make you weird?
But, but, but
Since everyone's different, weird is the new ordinary
Do you hear me?
Our voices mingle at this intersection called longing
Everyone's searching for something, their minds in a haze and they're in that restless, youthful phase
I want to be like you, and yet you want to be like me
I'll listen to what others have to say, and I'll finally be honest
The things I see are my own, just like the treasures you hold
We're almost home, but let's take the long way round
