なにその目　やっぱその目

What's with that look? That look I knew you'd give me

はじめましてじゃないね

It's not the first time I've seen it, after all

なにその目　もうやめて

What's with that look? Stop it already

可愛いだけ　なのに罪の味

Sure, it's cute - but it still tastes like sin

ずれる　ずれる　崩れる

I'm slipping, slipping and collapsing

ずれる　気が触れる

I'm slipping and losing my mind

秘密ひとつで　崩れる

With a single secret, it all falls apart

壊れる、ごめん

It's being destroyed - I'm sorry

見ないで　理解出来ないでしょう？

Don't look - it's not as if you'd understand, right?

まるで咲いてしまった　化けの花

It's as if this ghost flower has finally gone and bloomed

なにも言えない　かき消せない

I can't say anything, I can't make it disappear

どんなに醜く映る化粧　見ないで

No matter how ugly my make-up is, don't look

見ないで　理解出来ないでしょう？

Don't look - it's not as if you'd understand, right?

まるで咲いてしまった　化けの花

It's as if this ghost flower has finally gone and bloomed

つぼみにはもう戻れない

And now it can't turn back into a bud

なにその目　やっぱその目

What's with that look? That look I knew you'd give me

だったら消えて　みーんないなくなれ

If you're going to look at me that way, then just disappear - everyone should go away

いなくなれ　いなくなれ

Go away, go away

いなくなれ　そばに居て

Go away, stay by my side

見ないで　理解出来ないでしょう？

Don't look - it's not like you'd understand, right?

まるで咲いてしまった　化けの花

I can't say anything, I can't make it disappear

どんなに醜く映る化粧　見ないで

No matter how ugly my make-up is, don't look

未来で理解されないのなら

If it won't be understood in the future

此処でさっさと消えて　化けの花

Then this ghost flower should disappear right here, right now

生まれた罰を終わらすように

To put an end to my punishment for having been born

呼吸を止めて

I stop breathing

あーもういいや

Ah, I'm fed up with this

TRANSLATION NOTE: Although "bake no hana" is being referred to in the English Community as "Ghost Flower" because of its resemblance to "bakemono" (the word for ghost), the word "bake" on its own means "transformation" or "changing shape". Bakemono are called such because in Japanese myth they can change shape to haunt people. So "flower of transformation" is perhaps a more accurate translation.

*Translation Note: Apparently the title comes from 隣に君はいないな/tonari ni kimi wa inai na (you're not here next to me). It's been shortened. And the '17 is a form of goroawase (a type of Japanese word play where numbers are pronounced like words, think B4 for "before"). '17 can be read "i na", so the title becomes "kimi wa ina i na" (you're not here). I added the (next to me) because it's part of the original phrase.
