| Japanese | English |
| あたしに無いエネルギー | “That energy is something I don’t have, |
| この声だけにそそぎ込んでくれ | So pour it only into this voice, please! |
| 喜びも怒りもちょうど良く素敵にしてあげる | Let me make that joy and anger beautifully balanced. |
| 僕になって叫んであげるから | I’ll become ‘me’ and cry out loud, okay?”[1] |
| 一人ぼっちのエネルギー | “Oh, lonesome energy, |
| こころに拍を打ち 飛ばしてくれ | Keep the beat in my heart and make it fly, please! |
| 悲しみも楽しみもちょうど良く素敵にして | Make this sorrow and happiness beautifully balanced. |
| 愛を含んだ中毒性 | This addictiveness contains love. |
| あなたは見失わないで | You’re the last person I wish to lose sight of it.” |
| ひしめき合う言葉と言葉が | There are countless words milling about |
| ぶつかり生まれる前線は | And clashing against each other, producing a front. |
| 喜怒哀楽の嵐を起こして | It creates a storm of many different emotions, |
| 記録的な降水量となる | Bringing the highest rainfall ever recorded. |
| 傘をさして覗いた | “I put up an umbrella and stole a peek |
| 昨日には無い感情を | At the emotion you hadn’t had yesterday. |
| あたしのこころの糧にして | Let’s use it as nourishment for my heart |
| 想い秘めた愛を証明しよう | To prove your love concealing your feelings.” |
| あたしに無いエネルギー | “That energy is something I don’t have, |
| この声だけにそそぎ込んでくれ | So pour it only into this voice, please! |
| 喜びも怒りもちょうど良く素敵にしてあげる | Let me make that joy and anger beautifully balanced. |
| 僕になって叫んであげるから | I’ll become ‘me’ and cry out loud, okay?” |
| めぐりだしたエネルギー | “Oh, energy that began running, |
| 張り裂けそうならぶち込んでくれ | If you’re about to burst, then pour it into me, please! |
| 悲しみも楽しみもちょうど良く素敵にする | Making this sorrow and happiness beautifully balanced, |
| 愛を含んだ再構成 | This reconstruction contains love. |
| あなたは見失わないで | You’re the last person I wish to lose sight of it.” |
| 超 超 超 超大切 大慎重に | Super, super, super, super-carefully and ultra-conscientiously, |
| 並べて飾った星屑が | I arranged and displayed the stardust, |
| 面白いほど丁寧に連れていかれる | Which is being taken away with so much care it’s almost funny. |
| 憂いが奏でるのはこの声だ | What my gloom plays is this very voice. |
| 追いかける過程での出会い | We happened to meet when I was chasing after it. |
| 振りかざして生まれたグレーと愛 | I brandished it and gave birth to this gray and love. |
| 世界が選んでくのは愛とAI | The world is inclined to choose love and AI. |
| 僕をぐちゃぐちゃにしてく憂いと哀 | Grief and sorrow are awfully messing up with me. |
| 視界に入る新天体 | A new astral body comes into view. |
| 僕は知っているそこまでの過程 | I know how much it took you to get there finally. |
| それはどこで拾った武器なんだい | Where did you pick up that weapon? |
| 両手塞がって何も得られない | Your hands are full, so you can’t gain anything. |
| そんな気持ち晒してもつまらない | It’s no fun when you expose feelings like those. |
| 愛を籠めた遷移を知ってほしい | I’d be happy if you’d learn about my transitions involving love. |
| 君もこんな苦しさだったのかも | But perhaps you had it as rough as me? |
| 今更わかってもどうしようもない | There’s nothing I can do even if I understand it now. |
| 寝たふりで誤魔化せば | “Pretend you’re asleep to cover it up, |
| 消えて無くなる感情を | And that emotion would drop off the radar— |
| あたしのこころにひらがなで | But rewrite it in hiragana, and then pour it |
| 流し込んで愛を証明しよう | All into my heart so we can prove love!” |
| 魅力的な可能性 | Oh, attractive possibility, |
| この声をどこか遠くへ | Bring this voice somewhere far away. |
| 模様替えで疲れた僕を少し楽にさせて | Ease my burden, as I’m tired from remodeling myself… |
| あたしに無いエネルギー | “That energy is something I don’t have, |
| この声だけにつぎ込んでくれ | So pour it only into this voice, please! |
| 喜びも怒りもちょうど良く素敵にしてあげる | Let me make that joy and anger beautifully balanced. |
| 僕になって叫んであげるから | I’ll become ‘me’ and cry out loud, okay?” |
| 歌いだしたエネルギー | Oh, energy that started to sing, |
| こころに拍を打ち 飛ばしてくれ | Keep the beat in my heart and make it fly, please! |
| 悲しみも楽しみもちょうど良く素敵にする | You’ll make this sorrow and happiness beautifully balanced. |
| 『愛を含んだ小学生』 | “An elementary school student who contains love (ai).” |
| あたしにずっとついてきて！ | “You can follow me all the way!” |
| 繰り返した 愛の中の憂いの中の | I was able to find this love in the gloom |
| 愛に気づけたことへの | In the love I had repeated over and over. |
| どうしようもない僕の嬉しさは | That makes me so happy, on cloud nine. |
| あたしを愛している証しだ | It demonstrates that I genuinely love “me.” |
Translation Notes[]
- ↑ In the original lyrics, “I” and “you” are written in two ways: (1) あたし and あなた, and (2) 僕 and 君. The former sounds a bit feminine while the latter masculine. I have personally interpreted this inconsistency in a somewhat... interesting way, but I didn’t exactly know how I could express it in the translation. What you can see here is my last resort; the passages or lines written with あたし and あなた are double-quoted whereas those with 僕 and 君 (or those that don’t use any first- or second-person pronouns) are not.
