Japanese	Romaji	English
傘を盗られた僕を笑って	kasa o torareta boku o waratte	Here I am, getting my umbrella stolen,
傷を舐めた猫をなでる	kizu o nameta neko o naderu	while you go on petting the cat as it licks its wounds.
甘い蜜を垂らすように	amai mitsu o tarasu youni	It scares me how you can smile so sweetly,
微笑む君が怖くて	hohoemu kimi ga kowakute	as if honey is dripping from your very lips.
汗にまみれた僕は笑って	ase ni mamireta boku wa waratte	All drenched in sweat, I can only smile,
赤くなった頬を隠す	akaku natta hoho o kakusu	trying to hide my blushing cheeks.
届きそうで届かない	todokisou de todokanai	You’re so close, yet it’s as if you’re infinitely far away;
微笑むフリが辛くて	hohoemu furi ga tsurakute	it’s so painful for me to fake this smile.
幼い君だと思ったのに	osanai kimi da to omotta noni	I thought you were still just a child,
僕は追い越されていたようで	boku wa oikosareteta you de	yet it seems like you’ve gone on so far ahead,
幼い僕はわがままばかり	osanai boku wa wagamama bakari	while I’m still just a child myself, wanting everything my way,
何も知らない僕は一人さ	nanimo shiranai boku wa hitori sa	ignorant of everything, now left behind on my own.
嗚呼そうさ　大人になれば	aa sou sa otona ni nareba	Indeed, once we grow up,
背伸びすることもなくなって	senobi suru koto mo naku natte	there won’t be any need to overreach ourselves anymore.
満場一致　怖くないよ	manjou itchi kowakunai yo	As everyone would agree, there’s nothing to be scared of;
恥じらいはドブに捨てて	hajirai wa dobu ni sutete	one just needs to flush any shyness down the drain.
嗚呼そうさ　大人になれば	aa sou sa otona ni nareba	Indeed, once we grow up,
少し気持ちも軽くなって	sukoshi kimochi mo karuku natte	our worries will lighten a little.
満場一致　怖くないよ	manjou itchi kowakunai yo	As everyone would agree, there’s nothing to be scared of;
プライドは家に置いて	puraido wa uchi ni oite	one just needs to leave one’s pride at home.
勝負に負けた僕を笑って	shoubu ni maketa boku o waratte	Here I am, losing a fight,
嬉しそうに猫をなでる	ureshisou ni neko o naderu	while you go on petting the cat, looking so happy.
かつて僕がそうしたように	katsute boku ga sou shita youni	It scares me to see you smile
微笑む君が怖くて	hohoemu kimi ga kowakute	the way I once did.
汗にまみれた僕は笑って	ase ni mamireta boku wa waratte	All drenched in sweat, I can only smile,
ささくれた指を隠す	sasakureta yubi o kakusu	trying to hide my scraped fingers.
届きそうで届かない	todokisou de todokanai	You’re so close, yet it’s as if you’re infinitely far away;
微笑むフリが辛くて	hohoemu furi ga tsurakute	it’s so painful for me to fake this smile.
幼い君だと思ったのに	osanai kimi da to omotta noni	I thought you were still just a child,
僕は立ち止まっていたようで	boku wa tachidomatteta you de	yet it seems like I’ve come to a complete standstill.
嗚呼そうさ　大人になれば	aa sou sa otona ni nareba	Indeed, once we grow up,
背伸びすることもなくなって	senobi suru koto mo naku natte	there won’t be any need to overreach ourselves anymore.
満場一致　怖くないよ	manjou itchi kowakunai yo	As everyone would agree, there’s nothing to be scared of;
恥じらいはドブに捨てて	hajirai wa dobu ni sutete	one just needs to flush any shyness down the drain.
嗚呼そうさ　大人になれば	aa sou sa otona ni nareba	Indeed, once we grow up,
少し気持ちも軽くなって	sukoshi kimochi mo karuku natte	our worries will lighten a little.
満場一致　怖くないよ	manjou itchi kowakunai yo	As everyone would agree, there’s nothing to be scared of;
プライドは家に置いて	puraido wa uchi ni oite	one just needs to leave one’s pride at home.
