Sorry Lyrics English Translation by Cidergirl
知 crafts a story of regret with lines like, ‘I’m sorry for hurting you, and I’m sorry for getting hurt.’ The poet uses a mirror as a metaphor for self-examination, asking it to show their true self. The lyrics mix vulnerability with a longing for closure.
Uso no hitotsu ya futatsu kurai otona ni nareba atarimae dashiTelling a lie or two is just a part of growing up,
Dareka ga oshiete kuremashita warui tane o uetsukerareta toand someone taught me that a bad seed had been planted.
Kagami yo kagami boku o utsushiteMirror, mirror, show me myself.
Ima wa donna kao shite iru noWhat kind of face am I making right now?
Suki janai no ni suki to itta kotoSaying that I loved you when I didn’t,
Nande imasara omoidasu kanaaI wonder why I’m remembering it now.
Kizutsukete gomen ne kizutsuite gomen neI’m sorry for hurting you, and I’m sorry for getting hurt.
Shiranai uchi ni kasabuta ni natta neIt’s scarred over before I even realized.
Mada naottenai kana hagashitara itai kanaI wonder if it’s healed yet, or if it’ll hurt if I pick at it.
Hayaku boku no koto o wasurete kudasaiPlease forget about me quickly.
Nozonda hito janakute gomen neI’m sorry I wasn’t the person you wanted.
Kagami yo kagami boku o utsushiteMirror, mirror, show me myself.
Ari no mama no boku o utsushite oite yoJust show me as I really am.
Doushite konna ni namida ga deru noWhy are these tears coming out?
Dare no tame ni naiterun darouWho am I even crying for?
Kizutsukete gomen ne kizutsuite gomen neI’m sorry for hurting you, and I’m sorry for getting hurt.
Shiranai uchi ni omoide ni natta neBefore I knew it, it all became a memory.
Kurushikute itamu kana mou waraibanashi kanaIs it painful and aching, or is it just a funny story now?
Hayaku boku no koto o wasurete kudasaiPlease forget about me quickly.
Shirou to shite gomen ne wakaranakute gomen neI’m sorry for trying to understand you, and I’m sorry for not being able to.
Sorosoro kaeru ne mata itsuka dokoka deI should get going now, maybe I’ll see you again someday, somewhere.
Anata ga shiranai kao de machi ni tokeru neI’ll melt into the city with a face you don’t know.
Nozonda mirai janakute gomen neI’m sorry this wasn’t the future you wanted.
