ビターバカンス (Bitter Vacances) Lyrics (English Translation) – Mrs. GREEN APPLE

[Verse 1]
If the days feel suffocating,
It’s okay to take a break.
That person is managing just fine,
So you should go on a vacation.

[Verse 2]
I try not to worry,
I fight every day to protect.
But wait a second, I should only be laughing,
Yet suddenly, tears fall.
There are people I can’t catch up with,

I feel ashamed of myself for being that way.
But someday…

[Pre-Chorus]
Will I end up giving up?

[Chorus]
I want to teach you that not everything is hard,
I want to teach you, teach you, teach you.
Though the time drags on,
Isn’t it just a bit sweet,
The bittersweet feeling that might be love?
Isn’t it okay to do what you love?

[Verse 3]
People gather on the weekend,
The lines get long, everyone waits their turn.
Even that person who looks like they have it all together, somewhere,
They have their own wounds, balancing on and off.

[Verse 4]
I don’t want to be disliked,
I want everyone to like me.
But a part of me, forcing myself, feels disgusting,
And I can’t even cry at midnight.

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t understand love, or romance, or friendship,
But I don’t need to think about it too hard.
Is there someone waiting for me somewhere?

[Chorus]
I want to teach you that not everything is hard,
I want to teach you, teach you, teach you.
In the end, we’ll drift apart,
But let’s cherish the day we can smile today.
Someday, it’ll be goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

[Bridge]
In crowds full of people I envy,
I want to tell you I like you.
Even though I know that,
There are days when you’re not having fun,
I can’t deny it, though.

[Chorus]
I want to teach you that not everything is hard,
I know, I know, I know.
Someday, you will forget,
The days we spent together, the scent of them.
If the days feel suffocating,
It’s okay to take a little break,
Just take a rest, it’s fine to rest.
