15の夜 [Juugo no Yoru [THE NIGHT]] [English translation]

Doodled textbooks and myself looking outside all the time.

Sky above a skyscraper, I dreamed unreachable dream.

I want to break the door of my feelings that have no way out.

If I smoke behind the school building, there's no way of escape.

We will crouch down, gather in a lump while turning our backs against adults.

I will glare at adults who doesn't know anything about us.

And my friends plan to run away from home tonight.

Anyway, I don't want to go back to school or home anymore.

I'm trembling without even knowing what I am.

It's a night of fifteen years old.

I will ride on a stolen bike without knowing the destination.

I will run into the dark night.

I didn't want to be tied up by anyone,

I felt free when I ran away from everything on this night.

It's a night of fifteen years old.

Cold wind, cold body, I miss people.

I will run past the house of that sleeping girl, while whispering goodbye.

In the dark, vending machine stood alone.

Warmth that you can buy for 100 yen, I will tightly grasp hot canned coffee.

I don't know how love ends,

but that girl and I have always dreamed of a future together.

Adults told me to give up my love, but I don't like it at all.

If those boring lessons are everything we have,

What a petty, what a meaningless, what a powerless fifteen years old.

I will ride on a stolen bike without knowing the destination.

I will run into the dark night.

I will smoke a freshly learned cigarette.

I continued to seek freedom while staring at the starry sky.

A fifteen years old night.

I will ride on a stolen bike without knowing the destination.

I will run into the dark night. I didn't want to be tied up by anyone,

I felt free when I ran away from everything on this night.

It's a night of fifteen years old.
