Smile Lyrics English Translation by Regallily
The lyrics tell the story of a woman told to smile at all times, even when life gets tough. One line stands out: ‘Because a woman acting all serious isn’t beautiful.’ The performer uses this repeated phrase to highlight the pressure placed on women to conform to beauty standards.
Itsudemo smile shitete neKeep on smiling all the time.
Shinkokubutta onna wa kirei janai karaBecause a woman acting all serious isn’t beautiful.
Sugu smile suru beki da kodomo janai nara neYou should smile right away if you’re not a child.
Itsudemo smile shiyou neLet’s keep smiling all the time.
Tondemonai koto ga okitemo saaEven if something terrible happens, you see,
Kawaiku smile shitete nekeep on smiling cutely.
Nandemonai kao shite dekakerya ii no saIt’s fine to just head out with an unbothered look on your face.
Nee waratte kure yo kimi wa warukunai yoHey, please laugh for me, you’re not to blame.
Nee waratte kure yo saki made no choushi de yeahHey, please laugh for me, with the same energy as before, yeah.
Itsudemo smile shitete neKeep on smiling all the time.
Shinkokubutta onna wa kirei janai karaBecause a woman acting all serious isn’t beautiful.
Sugu smile suru beki da kodomo janai nara neYou should smile right away if you’re not a child.
Jouzu ni smile dekiru neYou’re good at smiling, aren’t you?
Konna toki wa doryoku ga hitsuyou saAt times like this, it takes some effort.
Kawaiku smile shitete neKeep on smiling cutely.
Machijuu ni kimi wo misebirakasu karaBecause I’m going to show you off to the whole town.
Nee waratte kure yo shinpai wa iranai yoHey, please laugh for me, there’s no need to worry.
Nee waratte kure yo saki made no choushi de yeah yeah yeahHey, please laugh for me, with the same energy as before, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Itsudemo smile shitete neKeep on smiling all the time.
Kanpeki nanka de irareru wake ga nai darouThere’s no way you can stay perfect, right?
Sugu smile suru beki da kodomo janai nara neYou should smile right away if you’re not a child.
Mou sugu da ne ato sukoshi da neIt’s almost time, just a little bit longer.
Sono toki no egao ga subete wo chara ni suru saYour smile in that moment will ‘wipe the slate clean’ for everything.
Mou sugu da ne nagakatta neIt’s almost time, it’s been a long wait.
Hayaku smile no kanojo wo misetaiI want to show off my smiling girlfriend soon.
Kawaiku smile shitete neKeep on smiling cutely.
Ningen nanka sore hodo kirei janai karaBecause humans aren’t really all that beautiful anyway.
Sugu smile suru beki da kodomo janai nara neYou should smile right away if you’re not a child.
