“青春病” lyrics with English translation

青春の病に侵され

Infected by the sickness of youth,

儚いものばかり求めて

Longing only for fleeting things,

いつの日か粉になって散るだけ

One day, all I'll do is scatter like dust,

青春はどどめ色

Youth is a dark shade of despair.

青春にサヨナラを

Goodbye to youth,

ヤメた あんなことあの日でもうヤメた

I quit! I said I quit that day,

と思ってた でも違った

I thought so, but I was wrong.

僕は 自分が思うほど強くはなかった

I wasn't as strong as I believed myself to be.

ムリだ 絶ち切ってしまうなんてムリだ

It's impossible, to cut it off is just impossible.

と思ってた でも違った

I thought so, but I was wrong.

僕は 自分が思うほど弱くはなかった

I wasn't as weak as I thought I was

君の声が 君の声が

Your voice, your voice

頭かすめては焦る

Rushes through my mind, making my heart race

こんなままじゃ こんなままじゃ

If it stays like this, if it stays like this

僕はここで息絶える

I'll take my last breath right here

止まることなく走り続けてきた

I've been running without stopping all along

本当はそんな風に思いたいだけだった

But deep down, I just wanted to believe like that

ちょっと進んでまたちょっと下がっては

A little step forward, then a little step back

気付けばもう暗い空

Before I know it, the sky has turned dark

青春の病に侵され

Infected by the illness of youth

儚いものばかり求めて

Always chasing something ephemeral,

いつの日か粉になって散るだけ

One day, I’m just bound to scatter like dust.

青春はどどめ色

Youth is a deep, desolate hue.

青春にサヨナラを

Saying goodbye to my youth.

そうか 結局は皆つながってるから

Oh, I see, in the end we’re all connected.

寂しいよね 苦しいよね

It's lonely, isn’t it? It’s painful, isn’t it?

なんて 自分をなだめてるヒマなんて無かった

Like that, I had no time to calm myself.

君の声が 君の声が

Your voice, your voice,

僕の中で叫び出す

Starts to scream within me.

耳すませば 耳すませば

If you listen closely, if you listen closely...

何もかもがよみがえる

Everything comes back to life again

止まることなく走り続けてゆけ

Run on without ever stopping

何かが僕にいつでも急かすけど

Something always rushes me

どこへ向かって走り続けんだっけ

Where am I running to again?

気付けばまた明ける空

Before I know it, the sky brightens once more

無常の水面が波立てば

When the impermanent surface of water stirs

ため息混じりの朝焼けが

The morning glow mixed with sighs

いつかは消えゆく身であれば

If I'm destined to fade away someday

こだわらせるな罰当たりが

Don't let me be obsessed, oh cursed fate

切れど切れど纏わりつく泥の渦に生きてる

Living in the swirling mud that cuts but clings

この体は先も見えぬ熱を持て余してる

This body is overwhelmed with an unseen heat that stretches ahead,

野ざらしにされた場所でただ漂う獣に

Like a beast merely drifting in a forsaken place,

心奪われたことなど一度たりと無いのに

Though I've never once had my heart stolen,

青春のきらめきの中に

In the shimmer of youth,

永遠の光を見ないで

Not seeing the eternal light,

いつの日か粉になって知るだけ

Only to learn one day, turned to dust,

青春の儚さを...

The transience of youth...
