English Translation

Everyone wishes for happiness
Being no different myself, there's no way I can escape it

Wishing to not end up unhappy,
We all scrambled for the only seat available

Unable to even mourn
The lives that weren't chosen,
I'm still here today,
Living shamelessly...
Singing shamelessly...
Apologizing to someone whose face I can't even see.

My mom and dad fell in love;
Now 20 years have passed since I was born.

How many people have shown me love?
How many people have I hurt along the way?
I can't... I can't answer that.

Someone who'd wished to be chosen
Might have been able to see the color of the light.
But I'm still searching for it today
As I venture back and forth—again and again—
Between wanting to die, and wanting to live.

Today is someone's birthday,
But it's also the anniversary of your death
I'm sure I'll remember it suddenly,
Until I completely forget one day.
Inhaling my first breath
After thinking about dying, but stopping myself,
I'm singing this song.
Even if there's nowhere I particularly want to go...
Even if I don't know the reason I was born...
At least... at least...
At least... at least... at least...

Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Unhappy birthday
To you!

Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Unhappy birthday
To you!

Unable to even mourn
The lives that weren't chosen,
I'm still wishing today:
"Please, keep on living!"
"Please, don't die!"
I scream the words again and again!

I'm here with the people that wished to be chosen,
But the world still continues on today.
I'm still searching for a place to belong
As I lose my way—again and again—between
Wanting to die, and wanting to live.

I hope each and every life that's born
Can feel love, at the very least!
So they can someday learn to be kind...
So that a kind morning can someday visit this world...

Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Unhappy birthday
To you!

Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Unhappy birthday
To you!

Kana (Kanji/Hiragana/Katakana) Lyrics

人はみんな、幸福を願い
もれずに私もその輪を抜け出せない

誰もが不幸になどなりたくないと
一つしかないその席を取り合った

選ばれなかった命を
弔うことすら出来ないままで
私は今日も白々しく
生きている
歌ってる
顔の見えない誰かに謝りながら

パパとママが愛し合って
産まれてから20年が経った

何人に愛され
何人を傷付けてきたんだろう
わたしは、わたしは、答えられない

選ばれたかった誰かが
見れたかもしれない光の色を
私は今日も探している
死にたいと生きたいの間を
何度も何度も、行き来しながら

今日は誰かの誕生日で
そして同時にあなたの命日です
ふとした時に思い出してそして
いつかは忘れてしまうでしょう
死のうと思って止めたあとの
死ねずに吸い込んだこの息で
私は歌を歌っている
行きたい場所などどこにもなくて
生まれた意味はわからなくても
せめて　せめて
せめて　せめて　せめて

ハッピーバースディ
ハッピーバースディ
アンハッピーバースディ
トゥーユー

ハッピーバースディ
ハッピーバースディ
アンハッピーバースディ
トゥーユー

選ばれなかった命を
弔うことすら出来ないままで
私は今日も願っている
生きていて、と
死なないで、と
何度も何度も私は叫ぶよ

選ばれたかった誰かと
それでも続いてく世界で今日も
居場所をずっと探している
死にたい　と　生きたい
の間で何度も何度も迷いながら

生まれてきた命には
せめて愛を、愛　を
いつか優しくなれるように
いつか優しい朝が来るように

ハッピーバースディ
ハッピーバースディ
アンハッピーバースディ
トゥーユー

ハッピーバースディ
ハッピーバースディ
アンハッピーバースディ
トゥーユー
