SIDE-BY-SIDE

1.How long has it been since I was given this job of being human?
2.I don’t even feel like I’ve been getting the appropriate salary.3.
4.Then I suddenly became aware of my mistake, and learned, “This isn’t work”,
5.But I was too late; I could only see it as work any longer.6.
7.It doesn’t make me sad; I’m merely tired.
8.“Please allow me to rest”, I say, though I have no idea who I’m talking to.9.

10.Just what was stolen from me? Just what did I steal for myself?
11.Have I simply been forgetting, little by little, as the cycle repeats?
12.Which one of us was soiled: the world, or me?
13.Either way, you should eventually open those eyes.
14.All of these things are part of an everyday life so proper it would drive you crazy.15.
16.Your hungry, cast-off skin is sitting in place, waiting for its prey,
17.“Won’t someone pay attention to me?”, it wonders silently.18.
19.How long has it been since I was fired from this job of being human?
20.For the time being, I’ll just work up a sweat; I was only ever trying to put forth an effort.21.
22.I’ve started to remember quite a number of things,
23.But I wonder if I’ll be able to face all of those blinding lights.24.
25.I’m not pretty in the slightest, I’m incapable of being kind,
26.But I wonder if I’ll be allowed to keep on breathing.
27.I try to laugh it off for the time being, then cry when in front of the mirror,
28.But I guess it makes sense: it’s because I hide it that no one notices.
29.Night merely follows into day; a proper, everyday life.30.
31.You cry out that you want to be loved… then fear it when it happens,
32.That’s when I’ll drag you out of that cage you’ve taken refuge in.
33.Even if it’s dirty, take it in hand; the world belongs to you,
34.It don’t mind at all, so you should keep on living the way you are.
35.All of these things, as well, are part of an everyday life so proper it would drive you crazy.36.
37.It was given to me. I was fired. How long has it been? What am I doing?
38.I wished for it. I chose it. “This isn’t work”. That’s what I learned.

BUMP OF CHICKEN - ギルド English Translation

1.人間という仕事を与えられてどれくらいだ
2.相応しいだけの給料貰った気は少しもしない3.
4.いつの間にかの思い違い「仕事ではない」解っていた
5.それもどうやら手遅れ仕事でしかなくなっていた6.
7.悲しいんじゃなくて疲れただけ
8.休みをください誰に言うつもりだろう9.
10.奪われたのは何だ奪い取ったのは何だ
11.繰り返して少しずつ忘れたんだろうか
12.汚れちゃったのはどっちだ世界か自分の方か
13.いずれにせよその瞳は開けるべきなんだよ
14.それが全て気が狂う程まともな日常15.
16.腹を空かせた抜け殻動かないで餌を待って
17.誰か構ってくれないか喋らないで思っているだけ18.
19.人間という仕事をクビになってどれくらいだ
20.とりあえず汗流して努力をしたつもりでいただけ21.
22.思い出したんだ色んな事を
23.向き合えるかな沢山の眩しさと24.
25.美しくなんかなくて優しくも出来なくて
26.それでも呼吸が続く事は許されるだろうか
27.その場しのぎで笑って鏡の前で泣いて
28.当たり前だろう隠してるから気付かれないんだよ
29.夜と朝をなぞるだけのまともな日常30.
31.愛されたくて吠えて愛されることに怯えて
32.逃げ込んだ檻その隙間から引きずり出してやる
33.汚れたって受け止めろ世界は自分のモンだ
34.構わないからその姿で生きるべきなんだよ
35.それも全て気が狂う程まともな日常36.
37.与えられてクビになってどれくらいだ何してんだ
38.望んだんだ選んだんだ「仕事ではない」解っていた
