Bonnie Pink Lyrics & Translation
Boku ja Nakatta Nara / If I Wasn't Myself
Just a Girl

toku ni iu koto nante nai
ikikata wa hito sorezore dashi
ki o tsuketeite mo kurikaesareru kaama
osowatte kawareru no nara
kitto minna tenshi ni natte
sono hane de tobitatteiru hazu

samuku natte atsuku naru you ni
kikaete awaseteiku dake yo
jibun to iu totemo fujun de fukakai na ikimono ni

kono boku ga boku ja nakatta nara to semenai de
ari no mama aisarete aisarete

toki ni iu koto nante nai
sodachi nante sorezore dashi
zutto seotte ikiteiku torauma
kami ni sugatte nigerareru nara
sore mo ii to omou keredo
juuryoku ni kare wa katteru kashira?

chikaku natte tooku naru you ni
me ni utsuru mono wa mayakashi
hontou no jiyuu to wa kokoro de kachitoru mono
furimukazu ni

kono boku ga boku ja nakatta nara to semenai de
ari no mama aisarete aisarete

kono boku ga boku ja nakatta nara to semenai de
ari no mama aisarete aisarete
Everyone has their own way of living,
not much to speak of
If you could be taught to change
the karma that is repeated over even if you’re careful,
I’m sure everyone would turn into angels
and fly away on those wings

So that I’ll get hot once I get cold,
I just keep changing clothes to match
this living thing, very baffling in its irregularities, called a self

Don’t criticize me with ‘if this self wasn’t myself’
To be loved, to be loved as I am

Everyone has their own way of growing up,
nothing to trifle with
Although I think that would be good too,
if you could escape the traumas that you’re burdened with
and live with forever, by relying on a god
I wonder if he’s winning against gravity?

So that I’ll get far away once I get close,
what’s reflected in my eyes are deceptions
True freedom is something you gain in your heart
without turning around

Don’t criticize me with ‘if this self wasn’t myself’
To be loved, to be loved as I am

Don’t criticize me with ‘if this self wasn’t myself’
To be loved, to be loved as I am
