YOASOBI - 群青 (Gunjou) (English Translation) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ah, just like usual
These passing days make me yawn
After a night of merriment today again
Morning falls upon Shibuya city
Feeling somewhat empty
Such a feeling bores me
But that’s all right, it is what it is
I prefer it this way
Inadvertently hiding

[Refrain]
Ah, inadvertently hiding your real voice
Let it resonate, see
You can pretend not to look but
It’s definitely there

[Chorus]
Ah, Letting my feelings take over as
With this color of my choice
On a morning draped with sleepiness
I approached a blue world
Stating clearly what I like
Scares me to death but
I fеlt that I had found my true self
[Verse 2]
Ah, the morе I reach out
The further away it goes
Again, today’s not working out the way I imagined
Still struggling hurriedly vexing feelings
Just makes me miserable and tears fall
The deeper I get in, the more I’m in agony
And the more pain I’m in

[Chorus]
Ah, letting my feelings take over as I go forth
This path I chose
To a night grazing against these heavy eyelids
A blue vow clings
Continuing with what I like
Isn’t just about enjoyment
Can I really do it? Makes me anxious but

[Verse 3]
So many
See, so many
I drew because I lacked confidence
So many times
See, so many times
These experiences will be my assets
Looking around, comparing myself to others
What is it that only I can do?
I still lack confidence
[Bridge]
The feelings I have never felt before
Emotions I never knew I had
By taking a step forward on that day
This pain and everything else I felt for the first time
By facing what I like
I touched upon a light, still small
It’s all right, let’s go now all we need to do is enjoy

[Chorus]
Ah, Staking everything on my drawings
With a color no one else can emulate
By running continuously morning and night
I found a blue light
Facing what I like still scares me
But I’m no longer invisible like I used to be
I am as I am, I am the one and only me
Inadvertently hiding

[Refrain]
Your real voice, let it resonate, see
You can pretend not to look but
It’s definitely there even now
Inadvertently hiding
Your real voice, let it resonate, see
You can pretend not to look but
It is truly there, within you
