Translation of the song モーターサイクル artist Bump of Chicken

起きたら胸が痛かった

When I woke up, I had a chest ache

心とかじゃなく　右側が

It was not my heart, but on the right side

夜になったら　治ってた

When night came, I recovered

痛かった事も　忘れてた

I forgot I had been in pain too

あくせく働いて　寝て終了

I toil away, go to sleep, the end

起きて飯食って　寝て終了

I wake up, eat, go to sleep, the end

This won't end as long as you live

今日は　昨日の明日だったでしょう

Today was yesterday's tomorrow

There is no point in thinking about the beginning

ありふれた答えしか　出てこない

You will only get hackneyed answers

現実派気取りでいるなら

If you're going to pretend being a realist

慰めなんて　期待しないでしょう

I guess you won't expect solace

A tow truck, a new car to blur my life

I used up all this innocent money

Gravity, earth and people's worth

イカロスとは　違うよ全然

It's completely different from Icarus

誰が　弁償してくれる

Who will reimburse me?

大小　損害　忍耐　限界

Large and small losses are testing my limits

それで何を　弁償してもらう

But I want to keep vague

そこは曖昧なままにしたい

Which things I want reimbursement for

勝敗が付けば　終わるなら

If the end comes once victory or defeat is decided

負けを選んで　それでも息する

The dead fish eyes

I stay in the safe zone without a personality

開き直る相手はどこに

Who is the person I should turn defiant against?

他人事だけど頑張れよ

It's not my business, but do your best

手伝う気も方法もない

I don't have the will, or the means to help you

道徳と規則の中で

So you have no choice but to do your best carelessly

Inside morals and rules

Even if they say it's like dead fish eyes

人の振り見て人にはなれんよ

You can't become like other people by copying them

People aren't scrutinizing you as much as you think

生まれたら　どうにか生き抜いて

Now that you are born, survive one way or another

周りが馬鹿に見えるなら

If the people around you look stupid to you

生き難いなんてこともないでしょう

Then I guess it won't be hard to live

死んだ魚の目を笑う奴に

You don't have to stumble over people

いまさら躓く事もないでしょう

Who make fun of dead fish eyes now
