才能なんか (Sainou Nanka)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
僕に才能なんかないなら 	boku ni sainou nanka nai nara 	If I have no talent at all
もっと早く教えて　神様 	motto hayaku oshiete kamisama 	then you could have told me a bit sooner, God!
お陰で行くも帰るも　もうできん場所に来ちゃった 	okage de iku mo kaeru mo mou dekin basho ni kichatta 	Thanks to you I’ve reached a dead end and I can’t turn back.
そんな顔をしないでよ　母さん 	sonna kao o shinaide yo kaasan 	Don’t look at me like that, mum.
こんな歌　歌ってごめんな 	konna uta utatte gomen na 	I’m sorry I’m singing this sort of song
でも　そうしなきゃ僕が僕でいられない日々だ 	demo sou shinakya boku ga boku de irarenai hibi da 	but these days, I can’t be me without singing it.
 	 	
夜勤明けの駅は凪いで　朝を焼いて 	yakinake no eki wa naide asa o yaite 	After night shift, the station is calm. Dawn burns the sky.
すてっぱちな僕の生活を暴いては嘲笑う 	suteppachi na boku no seikatsu o abaite wa azawarau 	It uncovers my desperate life and sneers at me.
容赦がないよな 	yousha ga nai yo na 	It’s so merciless.
 	 	
憧れだったミュージシャンが嫌いに 	akogare datta myuujishan ga kirai ni 	At the beginning of spring last year,
なったのは去年の春先 	natta no wa kyonen no harusaki 	I started hating the musician I used to admire
「夢は叶うのさ」って戯言を歌ったから 	"yume wa kanau no sa" tte tawagoto o utatta kara 	because what they sang was a joke: “your dreams will come true.”
諦めること　ちょうどいい引き際も 	akirameru koto choudo ii hikigiwa mo 	Knowing the right moment to give up on them
大事だってちゃんと歌ってよ 	daiji datte chanto utatte yo 	is important, so sing about it seriously!
綺麗な言葉だけで生きてけりゃどれほどか 	kirei na kotoba dake de ikitekerya dore hodo ka 	How long can you live with just pretty words?
 	 	
僕に才能なんかなかった 	boku ni sainou nanka nakatta 	I had no talent after all.
疾うに周知の事実ですか 	tou ni shuuchi no jijitsu desu ka 	Has it been common knowledge this whole time?
行くも帰るも才能なら　僕は肉塊以下だ 	iku mo kaeru mo sainou nara boku wa nikukai ika da 	Going or returning… when it comes to talent, I’m worse than a hunk of meat.
こんな歌を歌わないで済む人生はどこに売ってんのさ 	konna uta o utawanaide sumu jinsei wa doko ni utten no sa 	Where do they sell lives in which you don’t have to sing this song?
道端に転がる吸いさしが　まさに僕だ 	michibata ni korogaru suisashi ga masa ni boku da 	There’s no mistake, the cigarette butt lying at the side of the road is me.
 	 	
1Kの牢で横臥 	wankei no rou de ouga 	I lie on my side in my jail, a shoebox apartment.1K (literally “1 kitchen”) refers to a studio apartment with one bedroom and a kitchen, often with only a small door separating the bedroom from the kitchen.
日が暮れて満月の明るさを知った 	hi ga kurete mangetsu no akarusa o shitta 	The sun set, and then I noticed the full moon’s brightness.
そうだ　もう僕には逃げ場がないのだ 	sou da mou boku ni wa nigeba ga nai no da 	That’s right—I’ve got nowhere to run to now.
 	 	
ここから出ていくためには死ぬしかねぇ 	koko kara dete iku tame ni wa shinu shika nee 	I guess I’ve gotta die to leave this place.
夢なんて持たぬが身のため 	yume nante motanu ga mi no tame 	Dreaming no dreams is for one’s own good.
明日は我が身だと震える余生　クソくらえ 	asu wa wagami da to furueru yosei kuso kurae 	I’ll shudder, thinking “this is me” for the rest of my tomorrows. To hell with it all!
下を見てみろ　精神論者ども 	shita o mite miro seishinronsha domo 	Look down, you idealists!
僕は全てに負けたぞ 	boku wa subete ni maketa zo 	I’ve lost to everything.
線路に横たわる敗者の声は聞こえてんだろ 	senro ni yokotawaru haisha no koe wa kikoeten daro 	Can’t you hear the voices of those spread out over the railway tracks?
 	 	
四季の移ろい　人の営み 	shiki no utsuroi hito no itonami 	The passage of the seasons, and work…
勝者だけに許された贅の極み 	shousha dake ni yurusareta zei no kiwami 	They’re the height of luxury, only permitted for the victors.
時間なんてない 	jikan nante nai 	There’s no time.
若いやつらに後ろ指さされてばっか　立つ瀬がない 	wakai yatsura ni ushiro yubisasarete bakka tatsu se ga nai 	The young ones keep talking about me behind my back. I lose face.
僕が座る椅子はもうない 	boku ga suwaru isu wa mou nai 	There aren’t any chairs left for me.
世間体　プライド　心中も辞さない 	sekentei puraido shinjuu mo jisanai 	I’m prepared for the double suicide of my appearances and pride.
「生きていたい」なんて言えない 	"ikite itai" nante ienai 	“I want to live,” as if I could say junk like that.
 	 	
項垂れた頭に空いた風穴 	unadareta koube ni aita kazaana 	An air hole opened in my head hung low.
どこで道を間違えたかな 	doko de michi o machigaeta kana 	I wonder, when did I lose my way?
14の秋にギターを手にしてからか 	juuyon no aki ni gitaa o te ni shite kara ka 	Was it since I took up the guitar that autumn when I was 14?
今じゃゴミを漁る浮浪者を見て　他人事だとは思えねぇ 	ima ja gomi o asaru furousha o mite hitogoto da to wa omoenee 	Now, I look at the tramps fishing through the rubbish and can’t think it’s someone else’s problem.
 	 	
憧れだったミュージシャンが嫌いに 	akogare datta myuujishan ga kirai ni 	At the beginning of spring last year,
なったのは去年の春先 	natta no wa kyonen no harusaki 	I started hating the musician I used to admire
「夢は叶うのさ」って戯言を歌ったから 	"yume wa kanau no sa" tte tawagoto o utatta kara 	because what they sang was a joke: “your dreams will come true.”
諦めること　ちょうどいい引き際も 	akirameru koto choudo ii hikigiwa mo 	Knowing the right moment to give up on them
大事だってちゃんと歌ってよ 	daiji datte chanto utatte yo 	is important, so sing about it seriously!
綺麗な言葉だけで生きてけりゃどれほどか 	kirei na kotoba dake de ikitekerya dore hodo ka 	How long can you live with just pretty words?
 	 	
僕は才能なんかないけど 	boku wa sainou nanka nai kedo 	I’ve got no talent
最後に一つだけいいかな 	saigo ni hitotsu dake ii kana 	but can I just say one thing to finish off?
結局、行くも帰るももう自分次第だってさ 	kekkyoku, iku mo kaeru mo mou jibun shidai datte sa 	Whether you move forward or turn back, it’s all up to oneself in the end.
「夢を持つならそれでもいいが、目測だけは見誤るな」 	"yume o motsu nara soredemo ii ga, mokusoku dake wa miayamaru na"	“It’s fine if you’ve got dreams, but make sure you don’t misjudge their scope.”
それさえ分かってりゃ大抵はどうとでもなるそうだ 	sore sae wakatterya taitei wa dou to demo naru sou da 	If you understand that, things will generally work out one way or the other.
 	 	
厭世と多幸は表裏一体だ 	ensei to takou wa hyouriittai da 	Pessimism and happiness are two sides of the same coin.
