Kizutsuku Koto ga Seishun da Lyrics English Translation by Stu48
Yasushi Akimoto tells the story of a crowded hallway where strangers clash. The poet writes a line that reads, ‘I hide tears behind a silent mask’. He tells us that each stumble adds a spark to the restless fire.
Futsuu ni aruiteru dake de nandaka arukinikuin daI’m just walking normally, yet somehow it feels hard to move,
Ikikau hito to butsukatte shimauand I end up bumping into people as they pass.
Kono michi erabanakereba yokatta no kaWould it have been better if I hadn’t chosen this path?
Chigau michi datte onaji koto darou dareka to surechigau no ga heta daAny other road would be the same, since I’m so bad at navigating through the crowd.
Hito no me ki ni shisugirun da to iwaretemoEven if they say I worry too much about what others think,
Boku wa sonna ni tsuyoku ikirarenaiI just can’t be tough enough to brush it off.
Seishun waYouth…
Nandomo nandomo kizutsuku koto sais about getting hurt, time and time again.
Dareka no kotoba fukayomi shisugiteI read too deep into everyone’s words,
Jibun ga ikenai to wakatteru kara yokei ochikomuand knowing it’s my own fault makes me feel even worse.
Daremo minaDoes everyone,
Otona ni otona ni natte shimaebaonce they’ve fully grown into adults,

Kizutsuku koto ga seishun nan da neGetting hurt is exactly what youth is, isn’t it?

Karada no oku no wakasa no binetsu wo dokoka de hassan shinakya ikenaiI have to vent this fever of youth burning deep inside me somewhere.
Nani ga machigatteiru no ka tadashii no kaWhat’s wrong and what’s right?

Koukai bakari ga nokotte shimauleaving nothing but regrets behind.
Hito wa daremo minna jiko ken’o no naka unadare nagaraPeople hang their heads in self-loathing,
Ikiteyukuas they continue to live their lives.
Otona ni otona ni natte shimaebaIf you just grow up into an adult,
Mukashi no kizuguchi kasabuta ni nariold wounds eventually turn into scabs.
Donna itami datte kanjinakunaru sube wo mi ni tsukeru sore wa ii koto kaYou learn the skill to feel no pain at all, but is that really a good thing?
