黒い猫の歌 - back number перевод на английский

黒い猫の歌

生まれたままじゃ生きてくのに不便で
数えきれない物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
長い事探してるけど
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 Song of the Black Cat

I was born this way for a reason
Dyed by countless things and people
I didn't notice when my original color faded
I've repeated the same thing so many times

Where is the real me?
What color is the real me?
Even if the thing made by adding and mixing colors
Isn't a pretty color

Even if I climb on the roof of that house
The most I'll be able to see is the neighboring town
Do I have to climb even higher to see?
Is it not given to each one of us?

Where is the real me?
I've been searching for a long time
While wondering with a frowning face
Is someone hiding it?

Embarrassing memories and moments I don't want to forget
I'm painting with the same paints
They're somewhat similar, aren't they?

I think being oneself is
Something you suddenly think of or get carried away by
Just continue searching for it
The story of footprints

This is where the real me is
By stacking the past on top of the future
Red, yellow, and blue, and everything else too
Mix all of it together, and create a color that's all my own
