Jidai no sei ni wa shitaku wa nai kedo  
Nayanjau na  
Tokaigurashi tte  
Yappa kibishii no kana  

Inaka wo deru ni wa rippa na tatemae  
Hitsuyou da wa  
Kokuritsu dai wa yappa C hantei... bimyou   

Chuugaku jidai no koi UH  
Nantonaku natsukashii na  
Nayami toka kawaikatta  

Why not? Saishuu teki nya watashi no jinsei da shi  
Hantai sareta tte megenai shinnen  
Why not? Enkyori no koi souzou shite mita keredo  
Nanka mada pin to konai naa daijoubu kanaa... 

Shiritsu ni natta nara baito wo shiro tte  
Jouken da wa  
Baito to benkyou marude tamago niwatori  

Isso shuushoku wo suru to natta nara  
*Instructor*!?   
Konna inaka ja *sports gym* mo sukunai  

*Diet* rainen ganbarou  
Kuufuku wa juken no teki  
Soko ga ii tte kare mo iu shi...  

Why not? Dareka no tame no doryoku janain da shi  
Chuucho wo suru imi nante nain da shi  
Why not? Itsuka wa kaigai sunde mitai keredo  
Saisho no kono yamaba wo dasshutsu shinakya ne  

Why not? Dareka no tame no doryoku janain da shi  
Chuucho wo suru imi nante nain da shi  
Why not? Itsuka wa kaigai sunde mitai keredo  
Saisho no kono yamaba wo dasshutsu shinakya ne  

Original

時代のせいにはしたくはないけど  
悩んじゃうな   
都会一人暮らし(ぐらし)って  
やっぱ酷(きび)しいのかなぁ  

田舎を出るには立派な建前  
必要だわ  
国立大学(こくりつだい)はやっぱC判定…微妙  

中学時代の恋 UH   
なんとなく懐かしいな  
「悩み」とかかわいかった  

Why not? 最終的にゃ私の人生だし  
反対されたってめげない信念  
Why not? 遠距離の恋 想像してみたけれど  
なんかまだピンとこないなぁ 大丈夫かなぁ…  

私立になったならバイトをしろって  
条件だわ  
バイトと勉強 まるでたまご&鶏  

いっそ就職をするとなったなら  
インストラクター!?  
こんな田舎じゃスポーツジムも少ない  

ダイエット来年がんばろう  
空腹は受験の敵  
そこが良いって彼も言うし…  

Why not? 誰かの為の努力じゃないんだし  
躊躇をする意味なんてないんだし   
Why not? いつかは海外 住んでみたいけれど  
最初のこの山場を脱出しなきゃね  

Why not? 誰かの為の努力じゃないんだし  
躊躇をする意味なんてないんだし  
Why not? いつかは海外 住んでみたいけれど  
最初のこの山場を脱出しなきゃね     

Translation

I don't want to blame the times  
but I'm kind of confused  
I wonder if living alone in the city  
would be a bit difficult after all  

To be able to move away from the countryside  
one really needs to know how to keep up a facade    
Just a C at a national university would be kinda... weak  

Ah, my romance from middle school  
somehow it feels really nostalgic  
My worries were so small and cute  

Why not? In the end it's my life after all  
I won't change my mind just cause you're against it  
Why not? I tried to imagine a long distance relationship  
but I can't quite get it yet, I wonder if we'll be okay... 

If I get into a private school  
the condition is that I get a part-time  
Work and studying, it's like chicken or the egg  

And then when I have to actually get a job  
Will I go for an instructor!? 
But here at the countryside the sports gyms are few  

I'll go on a diet next year  
Hunger really is the worst enemy for studying  
But my boyfriend says he likes me like this... 

Why not? I'm not doing this for someone else  
And there's no point in hesitating  
Why not? Some day I want to live abroad  
But first I have to get away from this chaos  

Why not? I'm not doing this for someone else  
And there's no point in hesitating  
Why not? Some day I want to live abroad  
But first I have to get away from this chaos
