Don’t Collapse

Original version (Japanese):

“潰れるなと” by Shinsei

努力家の　勤勉すぎる君を見て
走り過ぎだと　少し思う

努力家の　背伸びを背中に
見て思う　いつか潰れる日が来ると

私は思う
世界から　宇宙から　この家から
頑張り過ぎて　潰れるなと

どうせ消えゆく　世知辛く

English version:

“Don’t Collapse” translated by Shinsei

I see you—
the tireless one,
always pushing too far.

I see the strain in your shoulders,
stretching for things out of reach.

And I think—
don’t break.
Not from the world,
not from the stars,
not even from this house.

We all fade,
but not like that.
