Wonderful Life Lyrics Translation – Seino Kentaro
Seino Kentaro reflects on empty streets and broken glass as symbols of lost dreams. The performer notes a line that reads “My heart is blue like the grass”, which translates to “My heart is as blue as the grass”. He asks why we chase wealth that never fills the void.
‘Suteki na jinsei’ tte nani wo motte iu no?What do people really mean when they talk about a ‘wonderful life’?
‘Suteki na jinsei’ tte boku wa dou darouI wonder, what’s a ‘wonderful life’ like for someone like me?
Suteki no imi wo hakichigaete madeEven if I’ve got the wrong idea of what ‘wonderful’ is,
Mie wo hatte sa…I’m just putting on a show.
Tomi wo motomete ariamaru hito moThere are people who chase wealth they’ll never need,
Meisei wo ete ibaru hito moand those who get famous just to act arrogant.
Uragiraretari uragittari shiteThey betray others or get betrayed themselves,
Munashiku mieru na…and they just look so empty to me.
Itsuka wa shinde shimau koto moI know that someday I’m going to die,
Shizen no setsuri to wakatte iteand I understand it’s just the way of nature.
Soredemo wasuresarareru koto gaEven so, the thought of being forgotten
Kowai no sa nani yori moscares me more than anything else.
Kono sekai de tatta hitori kiriI’m all alone in this world.
Nandomo oreta kono kokoro gaMy heart has broken so many times,
Itamu keredo, shikata nai nda yoand it still hurts, but there’s nothing I can do.
Yamete shimaeba raku na no ni naIt’d be so much easier if I just gave up,
Mogaki tsuzuketa sono saki debut at the end of all this struggling,
Soredemo shinjita michi wo yukuI’ll still walk the path I believe in.
Muchakucha dakedo, bukiyou dakedoIt’s a mess and I’m clumsy,
Kore ga boku no boku dake no ‘Suteki na jinsei’but this is my ‘wonderful life,’ and it’s mine alone.
Nani wo motte jiyuu to?What defines true freedom?
‘Suki na koto dake’ de kuraseru ndarouI guess it’s being able to live doing only what you love.
Yutaka no imi wo hakichigaete madeEven if I’ve got the wrong idea of what ‘rich’ is,
Yokubari de sa…I’m just so greedy.
Tonari no shiba no azayaka na buruu woI see the vibrant blue of the grass on the other side,
Nagameru dake no buruu na kokoroand my heart feels just as blue while I stare.
Te ni ireru tabi atarashii nanikaEvery time I get what I want, I just want something new.
Hoshigatte shimau kurikaeshi da neIt’s just a never-ending cycle, isn’t it?
Itsuka wa shinde shimau no naraIf I’m going to die someday anyway,
Subete muda ni naru to wakatte iteand I know that everything will eventually be for nothing,
Soredemo sagashi tsuzuketa koto gastill, the fact that I kept on searching
Tsunagu no sa doko made mowill keep me connected forever.
Aisuru sube wo shiranai bokura gaWe don’t know how to love,
Osowarazu to mo dakishimeru you niyet we hold each other close without being told to.
Tesaguri de ikite yukouLet’s keep fumbling our way through life.
Aisuru sube wo shiranai bokura gaWe don’t know how to love,
Osowarazu to mo kuchizukeru you niyet we share a kiss without being taught how.
Tesaguri de ikite haji wo kaite machigaete itai yoI want to fumble through life, feel the shame, and keep making mistakes.
Kono sekai de tatta hitori kiriI’m all alone in this world.
Nandomo oreta kono kokoro gaMy heart has broken so many times,
Itamu keredo, shikata nai nda yoand it still hurts, but there’s nothing I can do.
Yamete shimaeba raku na no ni naIt’d be so much easier if I just gave up,
Mogaki tsuzuketa sono saki debut at the end of all this struggling,
Sagashi motometa kotae ga aruthere’s an answer that I’ve been searching for.
Muchakucha dakedo, bukiyou dakedoIt’s a mess and I’m clumsy,
Kore ga boku no boku dake no ‘Suteki na jinsei’but this is my ‘wonderful life,’ and it’s mine alone.
Suteki na jinseiA wonderful life.
