YUU Lyrics English Translation by Yuzu
北川悠仁 writes about moving forward despite the judgment of others, with lines like ‘Keep moving forward, ignoring the side-eyes of the uncouth crowds.’ The mention of Venus, both as the Morning and Evening Star, adds a poetic touch, symbolizing hope and reflection. The lyrics ask hard questions about fate and purpose, urging listeners to face life head-on.
Nani wa nakutomo sakebe hagayui jubaku ga karamaruEven if you’ve got nothing, scream out as frustrating curses entangle you.
Yabo na yakara ga nigosu yokome ni hitasura susumuKeep moving forward, ignoring the side-eyes of the uncouth crowds who cloud the way.
Nare no hate da to aware zasetsu ni shirikomu hima nakiThere’s no time to shrink back from failure or pity yourself for how you’ve ended up.
Ake no myoujou noboru hosomeru manako higashi no soraThe Morning Star ‘Venus’ rises in the eastern sky as I squint my eyes to see it.
Saraba kunou no hate ni aruFarewell, for at the end of all this suffering,
Tabidachi to ketsubetsu ni ureu fureru itamithere’s the pain of departure and the sorrow of a final goodbye.
U U U U You & I ai koso datte? Iiwake ni sunnaU-U-U-U, You & I… “Because of love,” you say? Don’t use that as an excuse.
U U U U yume janai anta wa dare jama shinasannaU-U-U-U, it’s not a dream, so who do you think you are? Don’t get in my way.

Naze ni umareshi inochi unmei wa ware ga mi wo tamesu yoWhy was this life born? Fate is testing my very soul.
Yoi no myoujou hitori tsumutta manako hikari wo matsuI’m alone with the Evening Star ‘Venus’, closing my eyes and waiting for the light.
Naraba honoo no naka hisomuIf so, then within the flames,
Kanashimi mo nikushimi mo fukeyo konjiki no kazelet the golden wind blow away both the sadness and the hatred.
U U U U tsune naran aisaretai tte itsu made iu ndaU-U-U-U, how long will you keep saying you want to be loved in this fleeting world?
U U U U yuen wa nai mayakashi datte? Koko ni iru ndaU-U-U-U, there’s no reason… “It’s just an illusion,” you say? I’m right here.
