僕Bokuはwa君KimiにniなりたいNaritai

君kimiがgaうらやましいurayamashiiよyo　僕bokuにniないnaiものmono持っているmotte iruからkara

I envy you — you have things I don't

そんなsonna風にfuu ni比べてkurabeteしまうshimau　ふわふわfuwafuwa　年頃toshigoroですdesu

I keep comparing myself like that — drifting, at that in-between age

立ち止まってもtachidomattemo近づいてくるchikazuite kuru　大人otonaのno階段kaidanがgaもどかしいmodokashii

Even when I stop, the staircase to adulthood keeps getting closer — it's frustrating

今imaはwaお願いonegaiもうmou少しsukoshiだけdake　遠回りtoomawariさせてsaseteよyo

Please, just a little longer — let me take the long way around

驚いたodoroitaなna　よくyoku似合うniauよyo　髪kamiをwo切ったkittaんnだdaねne

Wow — it really suits you. You cut your hair, huh

まるでmarude僕bokuがga目meのno前maeにniもうmou一人hitori現れたarawaretaみたいmitai

It's like another version of me just appeared right in front of me

僕bokuはwa君kimiにniなりたいnaritaiのにnoni　君kimiはwa僕bokuにniなりたいnaritaiのにnoniさsa

I want to be you, and you want to be me

誰かdarekaのno声koeがga邪魔jamaをwoしてshite　素直にsunao niなれないnarenaiよyo

But someone's voice gets in the way and I can't be honest

雨ameにni打たれたutareta放課後houkagoやya　並木道namikimichiのno帰り道kaerimichiとかtoka

Afternoons after school in the rain, walking home along the tree-lined road

同じonaji景色keshikiなnaはずhazuなnaのにnoni　僕らbokuraにniはwa違ってchigatte見えるmieruのnoかkaなna

It should be the same scenery, but I wonder if we're seeing it differently

君kimiがgaうらやましいurayamashiiよyo　僕bokuにniないnaiものmono持っているmotte iruからkara

I envy you — you have things I don't

手teをwo伸ばせばnobaseba届くtodokuのnoかkaなna　背伸びsenobiをwoしたくshitakuなるnaru

I wonder if it'd reach if I stretched out my hand — it makes me want to try

逃げるnigeruことkotoできないdekinaiルールruuruがga　じわじわjiwajiwi体karadaをwo重くさせるomoku saseru

Rules I can't escape gradually weigh my body down

いつitsu、、どこdoko、、誰dare　決めたkimetaのnoかkaなna　好きなsuki na風にfuu niしたいshitaiのにnoni

When, where, who decided them? I just want to do things my own way

君kimiのno手teをwoとりtori　街machiにni出るderuよyo　誰dareもmo触れないfurenaiようにyou ni

I'll take your hand and we'll head into the city — so no one else can reach you

大丈夫daijoubuさsa　不安fuanでもdemo　同じonaji空気kuukiをwo吸ってsutteやるyaru

It's okay — even if we're anxious, we'll breathe the same air

僕bokuはwa君kimiにniなりたいnaritaiのにnoni　君kimiはwa僕bokuにniなりたいnaritaiのにnoniさsa

I want to be you, and you want to be me

誰かdarekaのno声koeがga邪魔jamaをwoしてshite　素直にsunao niなれないnarenaiよyo

But someone's voice gets in the way and I can't be honest

君kimiのno涙namida見たくないmitakunaiよyo　だからdakara僕bokuがgaそっとsotto隠すkakusuよyo

I don't want to see you cry — so I'll quietly hide it for you

募るtsunoru想いomoiがgaあるaruのnoならnara　僕宛boku ateにni手紙tegamiでもdemo書きkakiなnaよyo

If there's something building up inside you, just write me a letter

みんなminnaとto違ったらchigattara　普通futsuuじゃないjanaiってtte思うomouのnoかkaなna

If you're different from everyone else, does that make you think you're not normal?

けれどkeredo　だけどdakedo　でもdemoねne

But, yet, still —

みんなminna違うchigauからkara　普通futsuuじゃないjanaiはwa　普通futsuuだdaよyo

Since everyone is different, not being normal is perfectly normal

そんなsonna気持ちkimochi　聞こえるkikoeruかkaなna

Can you hear that feeling?

幾つikutsuもmoのno声koeがga行き交うikikau　憧れakogareというto iu名naのno交差点kousaten

Voices crossing back and forth at the intersection called longing

誰もがdare mo ga何かnanikaをwo求めてmotomete　ふわふわfuwafuwa　年頃toshigoroですdesu

Everyone reaching for something — drifting, at that in-between age

僕bokuはwa君kimiにniなりたいnaritaiからkara　君kimiはwa僕bokuにniなりたいnaritaiからkaraさsa

Because I want to be you, and you want to be me

誰かdarekaのno声koeをwo聞きながらkikinagara　今ima素直にsunao niなるnaruよyo

While listening to someone's voice, I'll be honest now

見えるmieru景色keshikiはwa僕bokuだけdakeのno　そしてsoshite君kimiだけdakeのno宝物takaramono

The view we see is mine alone, and yours alone — a treasure

そろそろsorosoroおうちouchiにni着くtsukuけどkedo　もうmou少しsukoshi遠回りtoomawariしようshiyouよyo

We're almost home, but let's take the long way just a little longer
