Gunjō (群青) lyrics with English translation

嗚呼いつもの様に

Ah, just like always,

過ぎる日々にあくびが出る

I let out a yawn at the passing days.

さんざめく夜越え今日も

Crossing through the lively night again today,

渋谷の街に朝が降る

Morning falls over the streets of Shibuya.

どこか虚しいような

It feels somewhat empty,

そんな気持ち

This kind of feeling.

つまらないな

It's boring, isn't it?

でもそれでいい

But that's just fine.

そんなもんさ

That's how it goes.

これでいい

This is enough.

知らず知らず隠してた

Unknowingly hidden away,

本当の声を響かせてよほら

Let your true voice resonate, look.

見ないフリしていても

Even if I pretend not to see,

確かにそこにある

It's truly there.

嗚呼 感じたままに描く

Ah, I'll draw as I feel.

自分で選んだその色で

With the colors I've chosen for myself.

眠い空気纏う朝に

In the sleepy air of morning,

訪れた青い世界

A blue world has arrived.

好きなものを好きだと言う

Saying what I love is what I do,

怖くて仕方ないけど

I'm scared, but I can't help it.

本当の自分

My true self,

出会えた気がしたんだ

I felt I had found it.

嗚呼 手を伸ばせば伸ばすほどに

Ah, the more I reach out,

遠くへゆく

The further it goes.

思うようにいかない今日も

Today, too, doesn't go as I expect,

また慌ただしくもがいてる

Once again, I'm struggling in a rush.

悔しい気持ちも ただ情けなくて

Feeling frustrated, just pitiful,

涙が出る

Tears flow.

踏み込むほど 苦しくなる

The more I step in, the harder it gets.

痛くもなる

It even hurts.

嗚呼 感じたままに進む

Ah, moving forward as I feel,

自分で選んだこの道を

On this path I've chosen.

重いまぶた擦る夜に

In the heavy eyelid rubbing night,

しがみついた青い誓い

I clung to a blue vow.

好きなことを続けること

Continuing to do what I love,

それは楽しいだけじゃない

It's not just fun.

本当にできる

I can truly do this.

不安になるけど

Even though I feel uneasy.

嗚呼 何枚でも ほら何枚でも

Ah, no matter how many times, look, no matter how many times,

自信がないから描いてきたんだよ

I’ve drawn because I lack confidence.

嗚呼 何回でも ほら何回でも

Ah, no matter how many times, look, no matter how many times,

積み上げてきたことが武器になる

What I've built up becomes my weapon.

周りを見たって 誰と比べたって

Even looking around, comparing with anyone,

僕にしかできないことはなんだ

What is it that only I can do?

今でも自信なんかない それでも

Even now, I have no confidence, but still,

感じたことない気持ち

Feelings I’ve never felt before.

知らずにいた想い

Unbeknownst to myself, desires.

あの日踏み出して

Stepping out that day,

初めて感じたこの痛みも全部

This pain I first felt is all there, too.

好きなものと向き合うことで

By facing what I love,

触れたまだ小さな光

I touched a still small light.

大丈夫 行こう あとは楽しむだけだ

It's okay, let’s go, all that's left is to have fun.

嗚呼 全てを賭けて描く

Ah, I paint everything I stake my all on,

自分にしか出せない色で

With colors that only I can bring forth.

朝も夜も走り続け

Running through morning and night,

見つけ出した青い光

I found a blue light.

好きなものと向き合うこと

Facing what I love,

今だって怖いことだけど

Even now, it’s still scary.

もう今はあの日の透明な僕じゃない

But now I’m not that transparent me from that day.

嗚呼 ありのままの

Ah, just as I am,

かけがえの無い僕だ

I’m irreplaceably me.

知らず知らず隠してた

Unknowingly hidden away,

本当の声を響かせてよほら

Let your true voice resonate, look.

見ないフリしていても

Even if I pretend not to see,

確かにそこに今もそこにあるよ

Certainly, it’s still there, right there within you.

知らず知らず隠してた

Unknowingly hidden away,

本当の声を響かせてよさあ

Let your true voice resonate, come on.

見ないフリしていても

Even if I pretend not to see,

確かにそこに君の中に

Certainly, it’s there deep inside you.
