Translation of the song Good Friends artist Bump of Chicken

比較対照探しの毎日 知り合っても 知らなくても

Everyday, I look for people to compare myself to, whether I know them or not

知識 苦労 資格 今あいつは 人としてどんな具合

Knowledge, hardships, qualifications: I wonder how that person is getting along now?

心は健やかに いつでも穏やかに

May your heart always be healthy, forever healthy

何も気にしないような顔して 棚に上げたまま止めない

I make a face like I don't care about anything, and shut my eyes on my own faults and don't stop

きっとさ 仲良く出来ると思うんだ

I'm sure we could get along well

どれほど違っても これほど似ているから

Because no matter how much we're different, we're so much alike

好きになれないものを見つけたら わざわざ嫌わなくていい

If you find things you can't bring yourself to like, you don't have to go out of your way to hate them

そんなもののために時間割かず そっと離れればいい

You shouldn't waste your time for those things, and should just get away slowly

大人なら触らずに いたずらに傷付けずに

An adult shouldn't be too blunt, and vainly hurt others

だけど自分が無いから 誰かが気になっちゃって仕方ない

But because I don't have a myself, I can't help wondering about the others

きっとさ 仲良く出来ると思うんだ

I'm sure we could get along well

見下して笑うのは 笑われた気がするから

If we look down and make fun of each other, that's because we feel like someone else made fun of us

心は健やかに 適当に穏やかに

May your heart always be healthy, suitably healthy

全部諦めた様なふりして 試みてもいないのに

I pretend to have given up on everything, when I haven't even tried doing anything yet

きっとさ 仲良く出来ると思うんだ

I'm sure we could get along well

見下し続けるのは どうにも似たくないから

If we keep looking down on each other, that's because we don't want to resemble the other

その気があるとか ないとかの話じゃない

It's not a question of wanting to or not

きっとさ 仲良く出来ると思うんだ

I'm sure we could get along well

しないんだ

Yet we don't
