口約束 - Nogizaka46 перевод на английский

口約束

いつか彼氏ができたって
絶対 私は変わらない
女同士の友情を
優先するって誓おうよ

もしも 急に
よそよそしくなって
用事があるのと
言い始めたら
抜け駆けをする
裏切り者めと
仲良しグループを
除名するルール

そんな口約束で
盛り上がったあの日
まだ 若かったし
ホントに そう思った
ずっと このまま
今のこの関係が
続くものって信じてた
大事な友よ

舌の根も乾かぬうちに
事情 変わってしまったね
やがて いつもの飲み会も
予定 合わなくなって来た

ドタキャンしたり
早く帰らなきゃと
スマホをチラチラと
気にして見たり
嘘や秘密を
白状しなくなる
仲間にまで隠す
しあわせのプロセス

そしてある日 突然
勝ち誇ったみたいに
きっと 言うんでしょう？
ごめん 結婚するって...
まさか あんたが...
予想外の順番
敗北感 味わうわ
よくある話

女の子だったら
狙うでしょ？
友達へのサプライズ
先に結婚するって
言いたくて
そう 勝ち組へ
足抜けしよう

そんな口約束で
盛り上がったあの日
まだ 若かったし
ホントに そう思った
ずっと このまま
今のこの関係が
続くものって信じてた
大事な友よ

ある日 突然
勝ち誇ったみたいに
きっと 言うんでしょう？
ごめん 結婚するって...
だけど みんなで
おめでとうと言うわ
わざとらしく微笑んで...
先を越された

A Verbal Promise

Even if I ever get a boyfriend,
I'll never change, absolutely,
I vow to prioritize
Our friendship between women.

If suddenly,
You become distant
And start saying,
“I have something to do",
You will be labeled a cheater,
A traitor, and
Removed from our clique,
That's the rule.

With that sort of verbal promise,
We were so excited that day,
We were still young,
And we really thought so.
This way forever,
Believing that our current relationship,
Would last forever,
My precious friend.

Before the words could dry on our tongues,
Circumstances changed,
And soon, our usual drinking parties,
No longer fit our schedules.

Canceling at the last minute,
“I have to go home early",
Glancing at your phone,
Nervous and self-conscious,
Hiding lies and secrets,
No longer confiding in your friends,
Concealing it even from your comrades,
The process of happiness.

And then one day, suddenly,
You will probably say it,
With a smug look on your face:
“Sorry, I'm getting married..."
Are you kidding me?
An unexpected turn of events,
A sense of defeat engulfs me,
A story all too common.

If you were a girl,
You would have aimed for it,
A surprise for your friends,
To be the first to get married,
You would have wanted to say it,
Yes, to the winning team,
To withdraw your support.

With that sort of verbal promise,
We were so excited that day,
We were still young,
And we really thought so.
This way forever,
Believing that our current relationship,
Would last forever,
My precious friend.

One day, suddenly,
You will probably say it,
With a smug look on your face:
“Sorry, I'm getting married..."
But we will all say,
“Congratulations",
With a forced smile...
You have gotten ahead of me.
