1mm – Perfume with FULL lyric and english translation

Original lyric (Japanese lyric)

English translation

好奇こうき心しんまかせの　に退屈たいくつして
Kōkishin makase no hibi ni taikutsu shite

ひとつのことだけ　追おいかけてみるのが
Hitotsu no koto dake oikakete miru no ga

実じつは難むずかしい 本気ほんきになるくらい
Jitsuwa muzukashī honki ni naru kurai

気き持もち次第しだいだね　なんて思おもってたけれど
Kimochi shidaida ne nante omottetakeredo

なんてことない　そんなわけない
Nante koto nai son’na wakenai

ただ現実げんじつはずっと想像そうぞうの上うえを行いく
Tada genjitsu wa zutto sōzō no ue o iku

覚悟かくごがまだまだ1mmも
Kakugo ga madamada 1 mm mo

たりないね
Tarinai ne

最終さいしゅう電車でんしゃに　揺ゆられてる
Saishū densha ni yura re teru

このまま遠とおくへ　行いきたくて
Kono mama tōku e ikitakute

Ah　遠と回おり　Ah　夢ゆめを見みて
Ah tōmawari Ah yume o mite

何なん年ねんたっても難むずかしい
Nan-nen tatte mo muzukashī

全然ぜんぜんしっくりきてなくて
Zenzen shikkuri kite nakute

Ah　とまらない
Ah tomaranai

もういいもういい　よくないよ
Mō ī mō ī yokunai yo

全然ぜんぜんどうして　この気き持もち
Zenzen dōshite kono kimochi

伝つたわらないね　このままじゃ
Tsutawaranai ne kono mama ja

Ah　やりなおし
Ah yarinaoshi

Ah　繰くり返かえす
Ah kurikaesu

だんだんそうして　近ちかづくの
Dandan sōshite chikadzuku no

線路せんろは一いち本ほんだけだから
Senro wa Ippon dakedakara

Ah　帰かえろうよ　Ah　さぁ
Ah kaerōyo Ah sa~a

遠とおくの場所ばしょから　離はなれて見みていれば
Tōku no basho kara hanarete mite ireba

面白おもしろおかしく　楽たのしめるかも　けど
Omoshiro okashiku tanoshimeru kamokedo

そんな場所ばしょにいたら　何なにも変かえられない
Son’na basho ni itara nani mo kaerarenai

リスクから逃にげたら　何なにもはじめられないよ
Risuku kara nigetara nani mo hajime rarenai yo

なんてことない　そんなわけない
Nante koto nai son’na wakenai

ただ現実げんじつはずっと想像そうぞうの上うえを行いく
Tada genjitsu wa zutto sōzō no ue o iku

覚悟かくごがまだまだ1mmも　たりないままで
Kakugo ga madamada 1 mm mo tarinai mama de

最終さいしゅう電車でんしゃに　揺ゆられてる
Saishū densha ni yura re teru

このまま遠とおくへ　行いきたくて
Kono mama tōku e ikitakute

Ah　遠と回おり
Ah tōmawari

Ah　夢ゆめを見みて
Ah yume o mite

Growing bored of the days I’ve entrusted my curiosity to

And going after only one thing

Is really hard, to the point where I’d have to get serious about it

It all depends on how I feel, that’s what I used to think but

That’s not it, that can’t be it, it’s just that

Reality always exceeds my imagination

And my readiness still falls 1mm short

I’m being jolted by this final train

And I want to continue like this, and go far

Ah, it’s a detour, Ah, I’m dreaming

No matter how many years go by it’s still hard

I can never get a grip at all

Ah, it won’t stop, I’ve had enough, enough this isn’t good at all

Why, can’t I convey these feelings, at this rate

Ah, I’ll have to do it all over again, repeat everything again

Gradually until I get closer, there’s only one track

Ah, Let’s go back, Ah, come now…

When I try straying, from that faraway place

Things get interesting and enjoyable but

When I go to such other places, nothing changes

When I escape from all these risks, nothing happens

That’s not it.. that can’t be it.. it’s just that

Reality always exceeds my imagination

And my readiness still falls, just 1mm short.

I’m being jolted by this final train

And I want to continue like this, and go far

Ah, it’s a detour, Ah, I’m dreaming

No matter how many years go by it’s still hard

I can never get a grip at all

Ah, it won’t stop, I’ve had enough, enough, this isn’t good at all

Why, can’t I convey these feelings, at this rate

Ah, I’ll have to do it all over again, repeat everything again

Gradually until I get closer, there’s only one track

Ah, Let’s go back, Ah come now…
