Black Sheep (Kuroi Hitsuji) by Keyakizaka46 English Lyrics Translation
English
Is the stop light blue? Or is it green?
Which is it?
I want the vague to be made clear
The evening traffic downtown is a pain
I’ll take a detour home over the train tracks
I dislike the after school classroom
It’s as if everyone understands each other just by being in that place
My spirit’s been dampened and I become quiet
Because it isn’t a discussion
They exchange the things they want to say and
Are all too optimistic to come to a resolution
Someone sighed
That’s it, that is their true voice
Black sheep, that’s right, It’d be better if just I was gone
If that happened, would the clock hands that were halted begin to move?
Is there a such thing as an answer that everyone agrees upon?
If it’s just me objecting you can ignore me
The way everyone is persuading makes me uncomfortable
The friends exchanging looks with me see me as nothing but a burden
I am the lone pitch black sheep
That stands out in the pure white flock
No matter how you put it I don’t want to be dyed the same color
Just when was the light turned on
In this gloomy room?
On my smart phone nothing remains but a loveless past
The back and forth of relationships is impossible for me
I regret not being there
Life mostly doesn’t go as you expect
There’s nothing but things you don’t understand
I was admonished to give up
I just can’t agree to that
At those times, many times over,
Must I spit and snarl?
No no no no
It’s all my fault
Black sheep, that’s right, It’d be better if just I was gone
If that happened, would the clock hands that were halted begin to move?
Is there a such thing as an answer that everyone agrees upon?
If it’s just me objecting you can ignore me
The way everyone is persuading makes me uncomfortable
The friends exchanging looks with me see me as nothing but a burden
I know it
I don’t want to be a white sheep
The moment I became one I wouldn’t be myself
Will I bother others just by being different?
What are the adults that tell others to dye their hair pleased with?
Do you really think that I’ve become the symbol of treachery?
Am I a burden because my color is different?
Oh…
You who throw away your own reality
And pretend to be white sheep
Will you point and laugh when you see a black sheep?
If that’s the case one day I’ll
Even so one day I’ll
In this place, I’ll stand out

Japanese
信号は青なのか？それとも緑なのか？
どっちなんだ？
あやふやなものは はっきりさせたい
夕暮れ時の商店街の雑踏を通り抜けるのが面倒で
踏切を渡って遠回りして帰る
放課後の教室は苦手だ
その場にいるだけで分かり合てるようで
話し合いにならないし
白けてしまった 僕は無口になる
言いたいこと言い合って
解決しようなんて楽天的すぎるよ
誰かがため息をついた
そうそれが本当の声だろう
黒い羊 そうだ 僕だけがいなくなればいいんだ
そうすれば 止まってた針はまた動き出すんだろう？
全員が納得するそんな答えなんかあるものか！
反対が僕だけならいっそ無視すればいいんだ
みんなから説得される方が居心地悪くなる
目配せしてる仲間には僕は厄介者でしかない
真っ白な群れに悪目立ちしてる
自分だけが真っ黒の羊
どういったって同じ色に染まりたくないんだ
薄暗い部屋の灯りを付けるタイミングって
一体いつなんだろう？
スマホには愛のない過去だけが残ってる
人間関係の答え合わせなんか僕にはできないし
そこにいなければ よかったと後悔する
人生の大半は思うようには行かない
納得できない事ばかりだし
諦めろと諭されてたけど
それならやっぱ納得なんかしないまま
その度に何度も唾を吐いて
噛みついちゃいけませんか？
NO NO NO NO
全部 僕のせいだ
黒い羊 そうだ 僕だけがいなくなればいいんだ
そうすれば 止まってた針はまた動き出すんだろう？
全員が納得するそんな答えなんかあるものか！
反対が僕だけならいっそ無視すればいいんだ
みんなから説得される方が居心地悪くなる
目配せしてる仲間には僕は厄介者でしかない
わかってるよ
白い羊 なんて 僕は絶対になりたくないんだ
そうなった瞬間に 僕は僕じゃなくなってしまうよ
周りと違うそのことで 誰かに迷惑かけたか？
髪の毛を染めろという大人は何が気に入らない？
反逆の象徴になるとでも思っているのか？
自分の色とは違う それだけで厄介者か？
Oh…
自らの真実を捨て
白い羊のふりをする者よ
黒い羊を見つけ 指をさして笑うのか？
それなら僕はいつだって
それでも僕はいつだって
ここで悪目立ちしてよう
