人として Hito to shite
SUPER BEAVER
Released in June 2016, this song was recorded as one of the songs in the band's 5th album, "27".
I didn't know this band well but when I listened to this song, the band's direct and simple lyrics moved me in an instant.
It reminds me of my favorite poem by Noriko Ibaragi, "自分の感受性くらい, Jibun no kanjusei kurai". Even though they understand the reality of human kind but still they take pride in themselves as a human being.

人 は 騙す 人 は 隠す
hito wa damasu hito wa kakusu
We human cheats, We hide
人 は それでも それでも 笑える

But still, we can still laugh
あなた に 嘘 を ついて 後悔 を した
anata ni uso wo tsuite koukai wo shita
I lied to you and regretted it
僕 も 騙されて いる かも しれない けど
boku mo damasarete iru kamo shirenai kedo
I may be the one who got cheated, but
疑って 暴く より も
utagatte abaku yori mo
Rather than doubting and exposing that lie,
嘘 ついた 人 が 気付いて
uso tsuita hito ga kizuite
I think it is better for the one who lied come to realize,
傷 付いて 解る ほう が いい と 思うんだ
kizu-tsuite wakaru hou ga ii to omounda
suffer and understand the consequences
そう なんだ よ
sou nanda yo
Yes, that's right
信じ 続ける しか ない じゃない か

We can only keep on believing, don't you agree?
愛し 続ける しか ない じゃない か
shinji-tsuzukeru shika nai jyanai ka
We can only keep on loving, don't you agree?
身に覚えのある失敗を どうして指差せる？

Who can point the finger to failures we all experienced before?
受け 止める 以外 は ない じゃない か

We can do anything but to accept it, can't we?

Even if someone calls you a fool
カッコ 悪い 人 には なりたく ない じゃない か

you don't want to look lame, do you?
人 と して 人 と して かっこよく 生きて いたい じゃないか
hito to shite hito to shite kakkoyoku ikite itai jyanaika
As a person, as a decent person, you want to act cool, don't you?
僕 は 迷う 僕 は 悩む
boku wa mayou boku wa nayamu
I take time to decide, I have worries
だけど 逃げたく ない し 自分 を 棚 に 上げたく は ない し
dakedo nigetaku nai shi jibun wo tana ni agetaku wa nai shi
But I don't wanna run away and I don't want to turn a blind eye to my own fault
疲れる なあ 虚しい なあ
tsukareru naa munashii naa
It is so tiring and seems meaningless
それ でも 誰か の せい に したく 無いんだ
sore demo dareka no sei ni shitaku nainda
But I just don't wanna blame someone else
カッコ悪いから
kakko warui kara
It is not cool to do so
どう なんだ よ
