LET IT BE

[nebulancer]

English translation:

 

Always worrying over your words and actions,

You never brought out your true self, but

 

I’d realized that voice of yours,

Which you didn’t know about

 

Don’t imitate someone else and mix yourself into the crowd

Let me hear your heart, the one that belongs only to you

 

You’re fine the way you are: unchanging, unadorned

Just keep being who you are

It’s fine if you’re spoiled or if you’re selfish

May you be the way you are

 

Straining yourself to sneak a look, you didn’t know

If what you were looking for was actually important

 

Even if you might’ve forgotten,

I still remember

 

The time we spent together as if it were a given,

And that side of you, which you’d come to hate, are all part of our memories

 

Even if you let go of it, the thing that stays by your side

Is already you

Make no mistake: you’re fine the way you are

Just be yourself – that’s enough

 

Being unaware, unknowing, you’d distanced yourself

From your own voice – please, notice it

 

If you can stay who you are, as you are,

LET IT BE

Your story will surely start moving

 

You’re fine the way you are: unable to change, unadorned

Just keep being who you are

It’s fine if you’re spoiled or if you’re selfish

May you be the way you are

 

Even if you let go of it, the thing that stays by your side

Is already you, so

Make no mistake: you’re fine the way you are

Just be yourself – that’s enough, you know?

You’ll be fine

Kanji:

 

言葉や仕草に　いつも悩んで

本当の自分を出せずにいるけど

 

君の知らない　君の声

僕は気づいていたよ

 

誰かを真似して　紛れていないで

君の君だけの心を　聴かせてくれ

 

変わらない　飾らない君で良い

そのままで

甘えでも　ワガママでも良い

君らしく　あるように

 

背伸びして覗いて　探したものが

本当に大事なものかは　分からない

 

君が忘れてしまっても

僕は覚えてるよ

 

当たり前のように過ごした時間も

君が嫌いになった自分も　思い出だよ

 

手放しても　そばにあるものが

もう君なんだ

間違いじゃない　ありのままで良い

君らしく　それで良い

 

知らず知らず　遠ざけていた

自分の声に　気づいてよ

 

君が　君でいられるなら

LET IT BE

物語は動くだろう

 

変われない　飾らない君で良い

そのままで

甘えでも　ワガママでも良い

君らしく　あるように

 

手放しても　そばにあるものが

もう君だから

間違いじゃない　ありのままで良い

君らしく それで良いんだよ

大丈夫
