Oh Mother, the Handsome Man Tortures Me

A translation for “nayamy” by Takacha— resident former-construction-worker-turned-singer-songwriter and bohemian philosopher who’s much more famous for his performance of “MOVIN !!”
I guess people consider his music to be jpop, or j-hop even, but to me it’s more like… j-pop-reggae. Or often the most depressing beach music I’ve ever heard.

Everyone, everyone, everyone worries
Worries, worries, worries, (and) learns
Learns, learns, and learns, wanna be
Wanna be wanna be…

No matter who or where you are, there will always be worries
Some guys say it’s a so-called wall you run into more than once or twice
Guys who act like they’re all that, shy guys, those who act like kids, and simple-hearted guys
But in the end everyone worries without even thinking about it

“Speak your mind and see…”
Stop being cruel and arguing over useless things
“I just can’t be tolerant…”
Be tolerant and talk about what makes you nervous

Your voice speaks of your wavering understanding
It’s okay, I told you! I’m the same way
Because we all have our problems together!

Everyone, everyone, everyone worries
Worries, worries, worries, (and) learns
Learns, learns, and learns, wanna be
wanna be, wanna be adults
Always, always, always, before us
Before us, before us, before us and after that
We continue to face our dreams

Everyone, everyone, everyone worries
Worries, worries, worries, (and) learns
Learns, learns, and learns, wanna be
wanna be, wanna be adults
Always, always, always, before us
Before us, before us, before us and after that
We continue to face our dreams

No matter who or where you are, there will always be worries
Rolling around thoughtlessly, rolling around
When we feel small, when we’re nervous
Always, no matter where
Even Takacha’s always worrying

“Speak your mind and see…”
I understand your pain, it makes your head hurt, doesn’t it?
“I keep it secret, so it’s fine… but I can’t endure it very well…”
Open up and talk about your painful feelings

Your voice speaks of your fearful understanding
It’s okay, I told you! Even I’m the same way
Because we all think of the same things together!

Everyone, everyone, everyone worries
Worries, worries, worries, (and) learns
Learns, learns, and learns, wanna be
wanna be, wanna be adults
Always, always, always, before us
Before us, before us, before us and after that
We continue to face our dreams

Everyone, everyone, everyone worries
Worries, worries, worries, (and) learns
Learns, learns, and learns, wanna be
wanna be, wanna be adults
Always, always, always, before us
Before us, before us, before us and after that
We continue to face our dreams

(Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone
Worries, worries, worries, worries)

Everyone’s got positive vibes
A belief in yourself, born from your heart
So you, me, everybody— let’s raise our voices!

Because everybody’s got the same vibes, we’re all dreamy

Everyone, everyone, everyone worries
Worries, worries, worries, (and) learns
Learns, learns, and learns, wanna be
wanna be, wanna be adults
Always, always, always, before us
Before us, before us, before us and after that
We continue to face our dreams

Everyone, everyone, everyone worries
Worries, worries, worries, (and) learns
Learns, learns, and learns, wanna be
wanna be, wanna be adults
Always, always, always, before us
Before us, before us, before us and after that
We continue to face our dreams, don’t we!

(We continue to face our dreams, don’t we
I guess this is Takacha’s life. A lot of pressure, isn’t it?)
