SIDE-BY-SIDE

1.All this time, I, and we,
2.Have been living in a world alone.
3.Each time we gently touch a neighboring world,
4.We come to realize,
5.We remember.6.
7.When we were young,
8.We were still protected by innocence.
9.Just calling each other’s names,
10.And making promises for tomorrow,
11.Made us believe the world was one.12.
13.Not understanding each other,
14.Not forgiving each other,
15.Those things increased, one by one.
16.Each time that happened,
17.I even stopped expecting
18.That we could believe in one another.19.

20.All this time, I, and we,
21.Have been living in separate worlds.
22.Just when I thought we were close,
23.We would drift apart again.
24.And every time that happened,
25.I came to realize the loneliness of being alone.
26.But even so, I, and we,
27.Still seek someone else,
28.Because we are not yet grown-up enough
29.To simply accept
30.Loneliness as it is
31.And live with it.32.
33.At the back of the classroom,
34.Different-colored pictures of the same landscape were hung.
35.None of us drew the same thing,
36.None of our pictures lined up perfectly without a single gap,
37.And yet we shared the same scene.38.
39.Measuring how far we are
40.From the ideals we envision,
41.That kind of self-centeredness, masked as love,
42.Is nothing more than endless, unreasonable demands.
43.The more we try to confirm it,
44.The more selfish we become in our longing,
45.And the more we lose, the more timid we become.46.
47.I don’t want anything more than what I have now,
48.So don’t go any further away.
49.I convinced myself that keeping this ambiguous distance
50.Was what it meant to grow up.51.
52.I, I,
53.Am just running away from being hurt,
54.But in truth,
55.Even now,
56.I still want to believe.57.
58.All this time, I, and we,
59.Have been living in separate worlds.
60.So we hold hands,
61.And exchange words,
62.To deceive ourselves into thinking,
63.That we are not alone.
64.Someday, someday,
65.If we could embrace this immature loneliness,
66.And the sadness and pain we’ve come to know,
67.And become kinder,
68.If we could learn to trust people…69.
70.All this time, both you and I,
71.Everyone is alone.
72.But when our hearts,
73.Which longed to understand one another,
74.Finally touched,
75.For a brief moment, this world seemed like one.

YOASOBI - Monotone English Translation
YOASOBI - モノトーン English Translation
Fureru. Theme Song English Translation

1.ずっと僕は僕らは
2.一人きりの世界を生きている
3.隣り合う世界にそっとふれる度
4.思い知るんだ
5.思い出すんだ6.
7.幼い頃の僕らは
8.無邪気さに守られたまま
9.呼び合う名前と
10.明日の約束
11.それだけで世界は一つだと思えた12.
13.分かり合えないことが
14.許し合えないことが
15.一つ二つ増えていく
16.その度に僕は
17.信じ合えると期待することさえも
18.やめてしまった19.
20.ずっと僕は僕らは
21.それぞれ別の世界を生きている
22.近付いたと思えば
23.離れ離れに
24.そう繰り返す度
25.一人きりを思い知るんだ
26.僕が僕らが
27.それでも誰かを求めるのは
28.孤独をただ素直に
29.受け入れたまま
30.生きていけるほど
31.大人じゃないから32.
33.教室の後ろに貼られた
34.違う色で描かれた同じ景色たち
35.僕らは誰もが
36.それぞれで違う
37.少しのズレもなく重なることはないのに38.
39.描いている理想からどれだけ
40.離れているかで測るような
41.愛に似せた一人よがりは
42.行き過ぎたないものねだり
43.確かめる度嫌になって
44.求める度身勝手になって
45.失う度臆病になった46.
47.今より多くは望まないから
48.今より遠くへは行かないで
49.そうやって曖昧な距離を保つことが
50.大人になることだと思い込んだ51.
52.僕は僕は
53.傷付くことから逃げているだけで
54.本当はただ
55.今でもまだ
56.信じたいんだ57.
58.ずっと僕は僕らは
59.誰もが別の世界を生きている
60.だから手を繋いで
61.そう言葉を交わして
62.一人きりではないよと
63.お互いに誤魔化し合うんだ
64.いつかいつか
65.この未熟な孤独に包まれて
66.覚えた寂しさと痛みの分だけ
67.優しくなれたら
68.人を信じられたら69.
70.ずっと僕も君も
71.誰もが一人だ
72.分かり合いたいと
73.寄り添い合った心が
74.ふれるその時
75.一瞬この世界は一つに見えた
