Happy Birthday Lyrics English Translation by Sundae May Club
Koyuki Ura mentions a bus window and a peace sign to describe the emotional distance between the singer and their subject. ‘You’re probably wishing you could go back to being a child,’ one line reads, highlighting the universal desire to escape the pressures of life. The lyrics writer uses everyday scenes to create a sense of shared frustration and hope.
Kodomo ni modoritai tte omotteru deshouYou’re wishing you could be a kid again, aren’t you?
Nantonaku kyuukutsu sou da neYou look like you’re feeling a bit suffocated.
Basu ni notte shasou kara boku o miuoroshi taFrom the bus window, you looked down at me.
Kimi wa kou iu toki te o furanaiYou aren’t the type to wave in moments like this.
Okora re takunakute barebare na uso o tsukuYou tell obvious lies just to avoid getting in trouble.
Boku mo chotto kyuukutsu mitai daI guess I’m feeling a little trapped too.
Toshi o totte nanika ga kawaru nante kotoThinking that getting older actually changes anything…
Nakami wa zutto chicchai mama saDeep down, we’re still as small as we’ve always been.
Dou nattemo ii tokaSaying things like ‘I don’t care anymore,’
Mou shiranai tokaor ‘I’ve had enough,’
Zenbu houridashitai kimi ni niteruyou look like someone who wants to throw everything away.
Sora o mite itaI was just staring at the sky.
Happy birthdayHappy birthday.
Itsuka kono uta o ageyouSomeday, I’m going to give this song to you.
Butsuchouzura de piisu shite shiawase to ienai kimi eTo you, who flashes a peace sign with a scowl, unable to say you’re happy.
Happy birthdayHappy birthday.
Sono mama o tataetai no saI want to celebrate you exactly as you are.
Yume mo mirarenai kurai suri hette moEven if you’re so worn out that you can’t even dream,
Chanto nemuremasu you niI hope you can find a peaceful night’s sleep.
Happy birthdayHappy birthday.
Kodomo ni modoritai tte omotteru deshouYou’re probably wishing you could go back to being a child.
Kurikaesu yoru nya akiaki saI’m sick and tired of these repetitive nights.
Nibuku natta kokoro o okosu shunkan oThe moment that finally wakes up a heart that’s grown dull…
Bokura zutto matte ita no kamo neMaybe we’ve been waiting for it this whole time.
Motto aserita i yuragitaiI want to feel more restless, I want to be moved.
Kamisama ni sura akireraretaiI want even God to be completely fed up with me.
Taikutsu nampote shiranai tte tsuyogaritaiI want to act tough and say I’ve never known boredom.
Kisetsu rashii koto nani mo dekinakute moEven if we can’t do anything that feels right for the season,
Sore ga ikinobiru riyuu ni nattarimaybe that becomes our very reason to survive.
Dejitaru kamera motte ikou tooku madeLet’s take a digital camera and go somewhere far away.
Zenbu daiji ni shitai kimi ni nite iru sora o mite itaI was watching the sky that looks just like you, whom I want to treasure completely.
Happy birthdayHappy birthday.
Itsuka kono uta o ageyouSomeday, I’ll give this song to you.
Butsuchouzura de piisu shite shiawase to ienai kimi eTo you, who flashes a peace sign with a scowl, unable to say you’re happy.
Happy birthdayHappy birthday.
Tokubetsu datte omou no saI truly believe that you’re special.
Tatta ima hikatta onaji koe dashitaJust now, a light flashed and we cried out in the same voice.
Bokura wa futsuu de tokubetsuWe’re ordinary, and that’s what makes us special.
‘Happy Birthday’ lyrics are about finding peace in the ordinary. Sundae May Club offers a warm tribute to those who feel lost in the chaos of growing up.
