Description
Each line is like a note in the margins of life: a little bit of anger, a little bit of pride, and that stubborn belief that everything is just beginning. There is no ostentatious pathos here - only people who have gone through the gray and have not lost their taste for movement. Once they were teased for their dreams, now they are called to perform, and cities fly by like scenery - Kumamoto, Fukuoka, even the whole world map, if the beat holds its breath.
But behind the noise and fame, something else can be heard - the habit of living life to the fullest, not for money or likes, but so that every word is real. This is about those who don't wait for the ice cream to melt, but take a step themselves. It's about fatigue that turns into fuel. It's about days when everything is “だりぃ,” but as soon as the line starts to sound, the sun comes out again, even through the smoke and autotune.
Lyrics and translation
Original
生きてることが辛いなら
いっそ小さく死ねばいい
恋人と親は悲しむが
三日と経てば元通り
気が付きゃみんな年取って
同じとこに行くのだから
生きてることが辛いなら
わめき散らして泣けばいい
その内夜は明けちゃって
疲れて眠りに就くだろう
夜に泣くのは赤ん坊
だけって決まりはないんだし
生きてることが辛いなら
悲しみをとくと見るがいい
悲しみはいつか一片の
お花みたいに咲くという
そっと伸ばした両の手で
摘み取るんじゃなく守るといい
何もないとこから
何もないとこへと
何もなかったかのように
巡る生命だから
生きてることが辛いなら
嫌になるまで生きるがいい
歴史は小さなブランコで
宇宙は小さな水飲み場
生きてることが辛いなら
くたばる喜びとっておけ
生きてることが辛いなら
English translation
If it's hard to be alive
I'd rather die small.
Lovers and parents are sad, but
After three days it's back to normal
Before you know it, we're all getting older
Because we're going to the same place
If it's hard to be alive
Just scream and cry
By then the night had dawned
I'll be tired and go to sleep
A baby cries at night
There is no rule that only
If it's hard to be alive
Take away your sadness and look
Sadness will someday be a piece of
It is said to bloom like a flower
With both hands gently stretched out
It's better to protect rather than pluck.
From nothing
to nothing
as if nothing had happened
Because life revolves around
If it's hard to be alive
Live until you hate it
History is a little swing
space is a small drinking fountain
If it's hard to be alive
Save the joy of dying
If it's hard to be alive
