Manazashi Lyrics Translation – Super Beaver
The lyrics poet explains the struggle of reconciling resentment while holding onto hope. A key line, ‘What’s missing is love, and I mean that in the rawest sense,’ captures the song’s central theme. The words mix personal reflection with a call for kindness in a world that often feels disconnected.
Asa made tsukiatte kureta koto yaYou stayed with me until the morning light,
Nakeru hodo ureshikatta kotoand I was so happy I could’ve cried.
Arigatou igai no kotoba gaI searched for words more than ‘thank you,’
Mitsukaranakatta kotobut I just couldn’t find them.
Kuso mitai da to tsubuyaite moEven if I mutter that everything’s total shit,
Boku wa kandou mo shitteruI’ve still known what it’s like to be moved.
Suki ka kirai ka nara suki da yoIf it’s a choice between love or hate, I’ll choose love,
Demo yasashisa ga motto manbiyottebut I wish kindness would just spread a little further.
Oriaitsukanai ikidoori oThis resentment that I can’t reconcile,
Warikiranaide matto nidon’t just dismiss it, face it head-on.
Nayande mogaku kara waraeruWe can laugh because we worry and struggle,
Tsunagitai no wa kokoroiki dait’s the spirit of the heart I want to connect.
Manazashi yo manazashi yoOh, this gaze, this piercing gaze,
Damashie mitai na kyou niin a world that feels like trick art today.
Tariteinai no wa ai da yoWhat’s missing is love,
Mou namanamashii imi deand I mean that in the rawest sense.
Manazashi o manazashi oThis gaze, this piercing gaze,
Dakishimetara wakaruif you embrace it, you’ll understand.
Kibou ni nariuru no moWhat can truly become our hope
Ai o tomonau jou datte shinjitaiis an emotion born from love, I want to believe.
Shinjiru igai ni kibou wa naiThere’s no hope without the act of believing.
Tsukamitai mono wa taka ga shireteThe things I want to grasp are nothing special,
Nakushitakunai ga shinkocchou dabut not wanting to lose them is my true essence.
Shirishiyoku ni sae sabishisa ga suketaEven in my selfishness, a hint of loneliness peeked through.
Manazashi yo manazashi yoOh, this gaze, this piercing gaze,
Jidai o yayu suru mae nibefore you mock the era we live in.
Manazashi yo manazashi yoThis gaze, this piercing gaze,
Dare kara kawaru n dawhere will the change begin?
Nee tsuyoku yasashiku naritai tsuyoku yasashiku naritaiI want to be strong and kind, I want to be strong and kind.
Urami o tsunaide mo ii koto nanteConnecting feelings of resentment won’t lead to anything good,
Nani hitotsu nai darou naanot even one single thing, right?
Manazashi yo manazashi yoOh, this gaze, this piercing gaze,
Damashie mitai na kyou niin a world that feels like trick art today.
Tariteinai no wa ai da yoWhat’s missing is love,
Mou namanamashii imi deand I mean that in the rawest sense.
