【強がりはよせよ / 中島みゆき】

強がりはよせよと笑ってよ

移り気な性質（たち）よと答えたら

それならば唇かみしめて

なぜ目をそらすかと問いつめて

いつからこんな風になったのか

子供のようには戻れない

強がりはよせよと笑われて

寂しいと答えて泣きたいの

An English translation of the lyrics of this song.

"Don't pretend to strong" ― Miyuki Nakajima

"Don't pretend to strong."

I want you to say that lightly while laughing.

If I said you I have a fickle personality,

I want that you ask me why avert your eyes with bite your lips.

It's difficult to express like a child my feelings.

I can't say honestly even if I'm lonely.

"Don't pretend to strong."

I want you to say that lightly while laughing.

Because I'm really lonely and want to cry.
