Текст и перевод песни back number - Kuroi Nekono Uta

Kuroi Nekono Uta

生まれたままじゃ生きてくのに不便で
数え切れないものや人に染まってゆく
もともとの色が見えなくなった事も
忘れるくらい何度も繰り返し

本当の自分はどこにいるんだ
僕らしいって何色なんだ
足して混ぜて出来たものが
綺麗な色じゃなくても

あの家の屋根に登ったところで
見渡せるのはせいぜい隣町くらいで
もっと高いとこに登らなきゃ見えないのかな
一人ひとつずつもらえるわけじゃないのか

本当の自分はどこにいるんだ
しかめっ面で迷いながら
長いこと探してるけど
誰かが隠しているのかい

格好悪い思い出と忘れたくない時間
同じ絵の具で描いているだけじゃなく
どこか似てるよ

自分らしさなんてきっと
思いついたり流されたり
探し続けて歩いたその
足跡の話だから

本当の自分はここにいるんだ
今までにこれからを重ねて
赤も黄色も青も全部
混ぜて僕だけの色を

The Black Cat's Song

Despite being born as I am, living causes me great inconvenience
I can't help but be affected by people and things without number
From repeatedly forgetting the true meaning of my original color
Perhaps I've forgotten too many times

Where is my true self?
What color is my true self?
The result is a mixture
Even if it's not the prettiest color

If you climb to the top of that house's roof
All you can see is the neighboring town
To see more, you must climb higher
Perhaps you won't get there alone

Where is my true self?
I've been looking for a long time
With a furrowed brow and in great confusion
Is there someone hiding my true self?

The embarrassing memories and the moments I never want to forget
The memories of us, painted with the same brush
We're quite similar, after all

Finding your purpose in life
Is probably as simple and as complicated as it sounds
After all, it's the story of your footsteps
The story of the path you've created

My true self is here
A combination of the past and the future
Mixing red, yellow, and blue
To create my own, unique color
