Lyric NOBODY KNOWS

Kanji

カッコつけるのね
Yeah わかったようなふりして

キミのやりたいように
um やればいいさとか言っちゃって

荒波を渡る
まだ見ぬ街へ行く

独りよがりでは
Yeah 危険過ぎるのよ リアルなDays
説得もする
umそこは諦めちゃいけない

子供みたいな目で 
無邪気なこと言うの 

Nobody Knows 
あなた想うより 
人の気持ちは
ah ah
複雑なパズル
甘く見ちゃいけない気がする
ah Baby Baby Baby

じれったいほど
ah悩んじゃって進めなくなるのよ

だから頼りにしている
I follow my friend
次を目指すときには  

従うことだって
正しい選択

Nobody Knows
疑うだけなら
たやすいこと
oh oh
ため息のパズル 
そっと並べ直してみるの
ah Baby Baby Baby

イライラして立ち止まって
でも愚痴らずに耐えてみせるから
ほっといてよ

うっかり悩んだ顔なんて見せて
なぐさめが始まったなら 
長引いてしまうだけだわ
いい子のふりで話を聞くのも
ホントはね
疲れちゃうから

Nobody Knows
強くありたい
どこへ逃げても oh oh
追いかけてくる
グズグズ出来ない

Nobody Knows
あなた想うより 
人の気持ちは
ah ah
複雑なパズル
甘く見ちゃいけない気がする
ah Baby Baby Baby
ah Baby Baby Baby

Romaji

English translation

So you’re trying to be cool huh [1]

I pretend like I already knew

And I end up saying something like [2]

“Just do things the way you want to” [2]

Crossing over stormy seas

I go to a place that has not yet been seen [3]

Remaining self-complacent [4]

is too dangerous for these REAL days [5]

I’m also trying to convince you

that you can’t give up there

Are you going to say those innocent things

with child-like eyes?

Nobody Knows

Much more than you think they are,

people’s feelings are

a complicated puzzle

I have a feeling they cannot be taken lightly

ah Baby Baby Baby

Worrying to the point of getting irritated

And then you’re unable to move forward you know [6]

That’s why I rely on

I follow my friend

when I’m aiming for the next step [7]

Things that follow the rules are

the right decisions

Nobody Knows

If all you do is doubt others

take the simple things

and the puzzle of your sighs

and try to gently re-align them

ah Baby Baby Baby

I get annoyed and stop in my tracks

but without complaining, I’ll show you that I can endure this

So leave me alone

If I inadvertently showed my troubled face

and the comforting started

it would only end up prolonging it

Because pretending to be a good girl and listening to everyone’s words

actually, you know,

really makes me tired

Nobody Knows

I want to be strong

No matter where I escape to

They come running after me

I can’t linger around

Nobody Knows

Much more than you think they are,

people’s feelings are

a complicated puzzle

I have a feeling they cannot be taken lightly

ah Baby Baby Baby
ah Baby Baby Baby


Notes:
[1] – You can translate 「ね」 (ne), however you want as long as it basically has the idea of confirming for agreement from another party on something that the speaker may already know, so for example: “right?” or “you know?” I used “huh” as in “So you broke my guitar huh…” (same general idea)

[2] – 言っちゃって (icchatte) – Any verb that ends with a “chatte” or a “jyatte” expresses the idea that someone did that action but kind of “regrets” doing that action, or it was something that they didn’t mean to do, but they ended up doing it anyway (which is why it’s translated how it is). And these two lines need to be read in succession.

[3] – 街 (machi) – has a lot of meanings depending on how it’s used: “town,” “block,” “neighborhood,” “street,” etc… but I kinda took some poetic license and made it into “place” because it seems more general and fits more with the vague image of going somewhere that hasn’t been seen before. You can replace “place” with “town,” “block,” “neighborhood,” “street” etc… if you want. It doesn’t sound as pretty in my head and it gets too complicated ^^;;

[4] – 独りよがりでは (hitoriyogari de wa) – So 独りよがり(hitoriyogari) means to be complacent with oneself, and the で(de) after it means that you’re “in the state of being” complacent and you can either do something in that state, or just stay that way. In these lyrics, the は(wa) is referring to the “constant state of being complacent” and saying that that “is too dangerous” (Which is why it’s translated as it is)

[5] – リアルなdays (RIARU na days) – So RIARU is the Japanese pronunciation of “real” and then adding the “na” after it makes it an adjective describing “days,” but if YUI just wanted to say “real days” she could’ve just said it all in English, but to me, “REAL na days” makes it kind of limited because there may be days that are not described as “real.” So like for example: “Today is a rainy day”, but that doesn’t mean tomorrow will be a rainy day. Now think of “real” in this lyric as being the same type of adjective as “rainy.” So I threw in “for these REAL days” for the translation to make everything connect and to make it kind of show that there are those specific days that are “real”. (DID THAT MAKE SENSE AT ALL?! )

[6] – よ(yo) at the end of a sentence expresses emphasis that what the speaker is saying is something that the speaker feels strongly in and knows for sure (therefore the “you know” as a part of the translation).

[7] – 次(tsugi) literally just means “next,” but it has the implication of there being a next stage or step that someone wants to accomplish. So if I’m grading papers and I say “tsugi!” to my assistant, I could either mean that I want the next paper, or I want the next class’ pile, or I want the next assignment to grade. Either way, it shows that I want to move forward to the next step/stage of my job, which is how I interpreted it here.
