Kami-sama, I have noticed- I Pretended I was Young (Seishun no Furi wo Shita / 青春のふりをした) English Lyrics

消えたいんだってわかった　あなたの顔で悟った

揺蕩う迷子の瞳が　まるで夏の蜃気楼

I knew you wanted to disappear. I realized it from your face

Your wavering, lost eyes were just like a summer mirage

壊れたブランコみたいね　あなたはそう強がった

夜風が頬を射抜いて　涙さえも宙に奪われた

You’re like a broken swing set, always trying to be strong

The night wind pierced my cheeks, and even my tears were stolen by the sky

加速する残照　僕らの願いは

ラムネ瓶に詰まった　あのビー玉のようだ

透き通った未来が　置いてけぼりだって

今も待ってる

Accelerating afterglows, our dreams

Were like the marble bottled up in a glass of ramune

The future that once seemed so clear left us behind

And I’m still waiting for it

青春のふりをした抜け殻　現実を逃げ出した僕らは

風鈴が揺らめいた危うさのように　昨日を生きている

青春を夢に見た瓦落多　原色になれやしない僕らを包んだ

夕焼けの空模様を　あの日のノスタルジーを　今も追っている

I’m an empty shell that pretended it was young. We ran from reality,

And like precariously swaying wind chimes, we lived in days already passed

I’m trash that dreamed of being young. Unable to return to our original color, 

the twilight sky swaddled us, and I’m still chasing the nostalgia of that day

馴染まないインクみたいだ　窓に映った僕らに言った

夜空に浮かんだあなたは　どこか遠くの人に思えた

We’re like ink that doesn’t smear, I said to our reflections in the window

As you floated up into the night sky, it only felt like you were going somewhere far away

剥き出しのペーソス　止まらぬ嗚咽

それを世界は容易く踏みつけた

言葉が螺旋を、火���を描いて

麦畑を焼き払うように　撃ち抜いた

Our bare pathos, the endless wails

This world simply trampled on them

Your words drew spirals, sparks

And like a field of burning wheat, they ripped through me

青春のふりをした抜け殻　現実を逃げ出した僕らは

風鈴が揺らめいた危うさのように　昨日を生きている

青春を夢に見た瓦落多　暗礁に乗り上げた僕らみなし児に

この街のどこにも　居場所などはなかった

さらば、どこか棚引く方へ　雲を追いかけて

さらば、いつか晴れると祈って　今も歌っている

I’m an empty shell that pretended it was young. We ran from reality,

And like precariously swaying wind chimes, we lived in days already passed

I’m trash that dreamed of being young. For orphans stranded in the shallows,

There was no place for us in this town

Farewell, follow the the clouds towards where they taper off into the distance

Farewell, praying for the skies to clear someday, I continue to sing

消えたいんだって思った　ただただ僕も思った

二人で空を捕まえた　できるはずもないのに

I thought I wanted to disappear. I, too, sincerely thought that.

Together, we caught the sky, even though it should have been impossible
