Listen Lyrics English Translation by Le Illumine

The lyricist writes about moments of despair, describing the frustration of plans falling apart and the suffocating weight of uncertainty. One line stands out: ‘Just listen to my voice.’ It’s a plea for connection, a reminder that even in loneliness, there’s a voice to guide and comfort. The performer acknowledges their own struggles, making the message deeply personal.

Modokashii hodo hibi ga dareteThe days drag on so frustratingly,
Doushiyou mo naku ikigurushii tokiwhen it feels hopelessly suffocating,
Kimeteita koto mo dekizuand you can’t even do what you’d planned,
Tada imi naku sugite iku you na tokiwhen time just seems to pass meaninglessly.
Machi ni matta yotei ga kuzureWhen those long-awaited plans fall apart,
Ochikonde shimaisou ni naru tokiand you’re on the verge of sinking into despair,
Sorera subete ni akiretewhen you’re fed up with everything,
Nanimokamo yame owari nozomu toki ni waand you just want to quit and end it all.
Boku no koe dake kiiteJust listen to my voice.
Fuan nanda kono michi oI’m anxious whether it’s okay,
Arukitsuzukete mo ii no kato keep walking down this path.
Hito o ikiru no wa kantan janai neLiving life as a human isn’t easy, is it?
Kabe ya nanika ni yorikakariLeaning against a wall or anything at all,
Ashita no jibun ni inoru bakarijust praying to your future self.
Mata me sorasu hodo hi ga itai toki ni waWhen the light’s so painful you have to look away,
Boku no koe dake kiitejust listen to my voice.
Erasou ni utau boku datteEven I, singing so confidently,
Subete o sute kakuretai tokihave times when I want to throw it all away and hide.
Tanin no kanashimi gaWhen the sadness of others,
Kokoro ni hibikazu kanashiku naru tokidoesn’t resonate in my heart and it makes me sad,
Dare to nani o shite mo sabishii toki ga aru ndathere are times when I’m lonely no matter who I’m with.
Utaitsuzukeru karaI’ll keep on singing,
Nanika ga kowai sonna toki ni waso when you’re afraid of something,
Boku no koe dake kiitejust listen to my voice.
Boku no koe dakeListen only to my voice.
Oboresou na kanashimi moEven this sorrow that makes you feel like you’re drowning,
Itsuka kie nakunaru deshouwill surely disappear and fade away someday.
Afuresou na yorokobi moEven the joy that seems to overflow,
Itsuka kare wasureru deshouwill surely wither and be forgotten in time.
Dakedo ima iki suu imi oBut the meaning of breathing right now,
Kakaenagara ikiru hibi oand the days we spend living while holding onto that,
Kimi no shinjita koe ni noseteplease carry them on the voice you believed in,
Yokereba kono uta ni noseteand if it’s alright, carry them on this song.
