Genius English Translations
AKB48 - スカート、ひらり (Skirt Flutters) (English Translation)
With coincidental mischief, I passed closely by you
You make my heart stop
And I’ve intentionally ignored you far too long
Why am I such a fool?
Even though I like you like that
I trap myself in self-disgust
Alone among the crowd at the train station
For a sudden moment
There is a lasting regret and pain
Please God, once more
Can You reset time?
As for a girl
There’s a time when her skirt flutters and waves
And she wants to run
Everything is thrown away
As she heads for love
Each time she falls in love
Her skirt flitters and waves
Like a fire ignited in her heart
No matter what we do
We’ll be forgiven during puberty
If you just look at a dream
Nothing will progress
If you stretch out your hand
The fruit planted there will ripen
The stairs to adulthood
I jump two steps at a time
Hey, please tell me soon
That you like me
As for a girl
There’s a time when her skirt flows and inflates
And she becomes alive
Youth is always
Just ahead of you
Because I fell in love
My skirt flows and inflates
I chase after you
Whatever we have to do
Is too go for puberty
With lively breath, falling sweat
And all our strength
Let’s run along this path that we believe in
If this feeling becomes like the wind
It’ll surely reach you
The result, without fear:
I like you the most in this world
As for a girl
There’s a time when her skirt flutters and flows
And she wants to run
Everything is thrown away
As she heads for love
Each time she falls in love
Her skirt flitters and waves
Like a fire ignited in her heart
No matter what we do
We’ll be forgiven during puberty
I passed by you in a trick of coincidence
My heart skipped a beat
But I ignored it and kept going
Is it stupid of me?
Even though I like you so much
I fall into self-hatred
Alone in the crowd at the station
What happened in one moment
I will regret in the future
Hey, god, please
Reset time for me
Girls' skirts
Gently flutter
There are times when we just want to run
Leave everything behind
And go towards love
When we're in love
Our skirts gently flutter
Like the fire in our hearts
Whatever happens
We're at a forgiving age
If you just dream
Nothing will progress
Extend your hands and begin
Like the seed that becomes a fruit
The stairs to adulthood
Let's take them two at a time, jump
Hey, please say
"I love you" to me now
Girls' skirts
Softly ruffle
Sometimes we can be happy
Youth is
Always facing forward
Because I loved you
My skirt softly ruffles as
I run after you
If we don't do something
We'll waste this age
With erratic breaths and dripping sweat
With all my energy
I'll believe in this road and run
If my feelings can become wind
They'll surely reach you
And the result will be
Loving you the most in the world, without being afraid
Girls' skirts
Gently flutter
There are times when we just want to run
Leave everything behind
And go towards love
When we're in love
Our skirts gently flutter
Like the fire in our hearts
Whatever happens
We're at a forgiving age
