SKE48 (Team KII) - 空の青さに理由（わけ）はない / Sora no Aosa ni Wake wa Nai (There's No Reason Behind the Blueness of the Sky)

From Team KII 8th Stage

   

空の青さ 説明する あなた達大人が嫌い

美しさも この気持ちも 決して解ってほしくないの

I hate you adults who try to explain the blueness of the sky

Be it its beauty or this feeling, I don't ever want anyone to understand it

必死になって 教えてくれた 方程式には

どんな希望 託してくれてましたか?

大人になれば 割り切れるとか言って それもズルイな

What kind of hopes had you placed on the equations

you taught me like your life was on the line?

Telling me I'd be able to put two and two together* once I grew up, that's just as unfair

どうして 此処に居るの? 往生際 悪過ぎようが 確かめたい 私は

Why am I here? I guess I don't know when to give up, but I want to confirm it

この世界が 素晴らしきと 語れる未来に在りたい

バカみたいに 当たり前に のし掛かる無限のプレッシャー

全ての言い訳が 若さじゃない事

これから私 証明し続けてく

見上げた空の青さに理由はない

I want to live in a future I can talk about how wonderful this world is

Like a fool, like it's natural, I feel a limitless pressure on me

That not all excuses due to youth

From here on, I'll keep proving

that there's no reason behind the blueness of the sky we looked up at

誤魔化してきた 分かったフリの 答えはいつでも

赤いウソの 二重丸で埋もれた

流されちゃえば 楽になるとか そっか それもいいかも

The answers derived from deceiving myself and pretending to understand

always got buried by red double circles of lies**

"If you surrender to the flow, you'll find peace", that so? That might be nice too

どうして 続けてるの? 藪から棒 すぐになんて 出ないそんな 正解は

Why do I continue? No way I'm going find that answer right away in some eureka moment

どうかいつか この詞が 届いた誰かに会いたい

バカみたいに当たり前に歌いたい心のトレジャー

過去の消えない傷強さに変えてく

これから私 ただ前に向かっていこう

踏み出す道に迷いの色はない

Please, someday, I'd like to meet someone these lyrics have reached

Like a fool, like it's natural, I want to sing about the treasures in my heart

Never-fading wounds from the past become my strength

From here on, I'll face only forward

There's no color of doubt in the path I'm taking

信号待ち 踏切前 警報機と 電車の音 叫んでいた

Waiting for the signal at the railroad crossing, the warning device and the train screamed

空の青さ ただ一緒に キミだけは見上げてくれた

美しさも この気持ちも 初めて解ってほしかった

Only you looked up at the blueness of the sky with me

Be it its beauty or this feeling, for the first time ever, I wanted someone to understand it

この世界が 素晴らしきと 語れる未来に在りたい

バカみたいに 当たり前に のし掛かる無限のプレッシャー

全ての言い訳が 若さじゃない事

これから私 証明し続けてく

見上げた空の青さに理由はない

I want to live in a future I can talk about how wonderful this world is

Like a fool, like it's natural, I feel a limitless pressure on me

That youth isn't the excuse for everything

From here on, I'll keep proving

that there's no reason behind the blueness of the sky we looked up at

Notes:

*A mathematical pun was likely intended in the original so I tried thinking of an English equivalent. 割り切れる means both "to be perfectly divisible (by)" and "to finally be able to process something (and clear a feeling of discontent)".

**Red double circles (◎) represent excellent or perfect answers in Japan, like on a student's report card.
