黒い羊
欅坂46 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
あやふやなものははっきりさせたい
夕暮れ時の商店街の雑踏を通り抜けるのが面倒で
踏切を渡って 遠回りして帰る
放課後の教室は苦手だ
その場にいるだけで分かり合えてるようで
話し合いにならないし 白けてしまった僕は無口になる
誰かが溜め息をついた
そう それが本当の声だろう
黒い羊 そうだ 僕だけがいなくなればいいんだ
そうすれば 止まってた針はまた動きだすんだろう?
全員が納得する そんな答えなんかあるものか!
反対が僕だけなら いっそ無視すればいいんだ
みんなから説得される方が居心地悪くなる
目配せしている仲間には僕は厄介者でしかない
真っ白な群れに悪目立ちしてる
自分だけが真っ黒な羊
と言ったって同じ色に染まりたくないんだ
薄暗い部屋の明かりつけるタイミングって 一体いつなんだろう?
スマホには愛のない過去だけが残ってる
人間関係の答え合わせなんか僕には出来ないし
そこにいなければよかったと後悔する
人生の大半は思うようにはいかない
納得できないことばかりだし 諦めろと諭されてたけど
それならやっぱ納得なんかしないまま その度に何度も唾を吐いて
噛みついちゃいけませんか?
No, no, no, no
全部 僕のせいだ
黒い羊 そうだ 僕だけがいなくなればいいんだ
そうすれば 止まってた針はまた動きだすんだろう?
全員が納得する そんな答えなんかあるものか!
反対が僕だけならいっそ無視すればいいんだ
みんなから説得される方が居心地悪くなる
目配せしてる仲間には僕は厄介者でしかない
わかってるよ
La, la, la
白い羊なんて僕は絶対になりたくないんだ
そうなった瞬間に僕は僕じゃなくなってしまうよ
まわりと違うそのことで誰かに迷惑かけたか?
髪の毛を染めろと言う大人は何が気に入らない?
反逆の象徴になるとでも思っているのか?
自分の色とは違う それだけで厄介者か? Oh
自らの真実を捨て 白い羊のふりをする者よ
黒い羊を見つけ 指を差して笑うのか?
それなら僕はいつだって
それでも僕はいつだって
ここで悪目立ちしてよう
The lyrics of 欅坂46's song 黒い羊 describe a feeling of isolation and misunderstanding. The singer questions whether they should follow the signals of society or break away, representing the confusion they feel around conforming. They feel awkward in post-school conversation as they avoid conflict, yet they want resolution through communication. The feelings of isolation and insecurity culminate through the concept of the black sheep, where the singer desires to disappear from the group so that the needle of life can move again. This desire to rebel against societal norms stems from the fear of being an outcast, which the singer concludes they will always be regardless of conforming or not.
The lyrics also speak to the complexity of relationships, and how the singer is unable to find answers within them. The use of the analogy of the different colored sheep represents how not fitting into society makes them stand out, which can lead to further isolation. The use of the phrase ‘la, la, la’ provides a moment of pause and reflection where the singer questions whether it is worth standing out and being misunderstood.
The song exposes the internal battle each person faces between the desire to conform and the desire to be their true selves. The lyrics suggest that being true to oneself can come at the cost of social acceptance, but ultimately it is worth it to avoid living a life of lies.

夕暮れ時の商店街の雑踏を通り抜けるのが面倒で 踏切を渡って 遠回りして帰る
It's troublesome to pass through the crowded shopping district at dusk, so I cross the railway crossing and take a detour to go home.
放課後の教室は苦手だ その場にいるだけで分かり合えてるようで 話し合いにならないし 白けてしまった僕は無口になる 言いたいこと言い合って解決しよう なんて楽天的すぎるよ
I don't like the classroom after school, even if I understand the situation just by being there, the conversation won't go well, and I become quiet and awkward. Saying let's talk and solve it is too optimistic.
誰かが溜め息をついた そう それが本当の声だろう
Someone sighed, that's probably their true voice.

I'm the black sheep, yes, so wouldn't it be better if I'm the only one who's gone? Then the needle that stopped will move again, right? Is there such an answer that everyone will accept? If the opposite is only me, it would be better to ignore it. It's uncomfortable to be convinced by everyone, and to the friends who are exchanging looks, I'm just a troublemaker.
真っ白な群れに悪目立ちしてる 自分だけが真っ黒な羊 と言ったって同じ色に染まりたくないんだ
I stand out badly in a pure white flock, but even if I say that I'm the only black sheep, I don't want to be dyed the same color.
薄暗い部屋の明かりつけるタイミングって 一体いつなんだろう? スマホには愛のない過去だけが残ってる 人間関係の答え合わせなんか僕には出来ないし そこにいなければよかったと後悔する
I wonder when is the right time to turn on the light in a dim room. Only the loveless past remains on my smartphone, and I can't check the answers to human relationships, and I regret not being there.
人生の大半は思うようにはいかない 納得できないことばかりだし 諦めろと諭されてたけど それならやっぱ納得なんかしないまま その度に何度も唾を吐いて 噛みついちゃいけませんか?
Most of life doesn't go the way you want, and it's full of things that you can't accept, and I was told to give up, but then I still can't accept it, and I have to spit out saliva many times and bite, right?
No, no, no, no 全部 僕のせいだ
No, no, no, no, it's all my fault.
白い羊なんて僕は絶対になりたくないんだ そうなった瞬間に僕は僕じゃなくなってしまうよ まわりと違うそのことで誰かに迷惑かけたか? 髪の毛を染めろと言う大人は何が気に入らない? 反逆の象徴になるとでも思っているのか? 自分の色とは違う それだけで厄介者か? Oh
I never want to become a white sheep. The moment I become one, I cease to be myself. Have I inconvenienced someone by being different from those around me? What does an adult who tells me to dye my hair not like? Do they think I will become a symbol of rebellion? Is it just because I am different from my color that I am a troublemaker? Oh
自らの真実を捨て 白い羊のふりをする者よ 黒い羊を見つけ 指を差して笑うのか? それなら僕はいつだって それでも僕はいつだって ここで悪目立ちしてよう
Oh, those who give up on their own truth and behave like white sheep, do you find black sheep and point and laugh at them? Well then, I will always stand out even if I have to, and I will always stand out here.

Black Sheep - Keyakizaka46
English translation :
The stoplight, is it blue or is it green, which is it?
I want to make ambiguous things clear
Avoiding the crowd in the shopping distinct at dusk is bothersome
I cross the railroad crossing and take the long way home
I am bad with the after classrooms
But just being there, it seems we can understand each other
It's doesn't even become a discussion
I got bored and became silent
To say, "let's reach a solution"
That's too optimistic
Someone sighed ..
Yes, that's probably their true feelings, right?
The Black Sheep
That's right, it's okay if I'm the only one who disappear
And then the hand of clock that stopped should move again
Something that everyone can accept,
Does an answer like that even exist?
If I'm the only one who are against it, you can just ignore me
Being persuaded by everyone just makes me uncomfortable
To my friends who are exchanging looks, I am nothing but a nuisance
I stand out like a sore thumb in a flock of a pure white sheep
I'm the only one pitch black sheep
I don't want to be dyed in the same color
I wonder when is the timing to turn on the lights in my gloomy room?
There is no love inside the smartphone
What's left behind is only the past
I cant get along with human relationships
I would have been glad if I wasn't there, I regret it
Most of my life didn't go as I expected
It is full if things I cannot accept
I was persuaded to give up but if that's the case,
While remaining unsatisfied,
Won't I spit and bit my lips many times over?
No.. No.. No.. No..
EVERYTHING IS MY FAULT
The black sheep
That's right, it's okay if I'm the only one who disappear
And then the hand of clock that stopped should move again
Something that everyone can accept,
Does an answer like that even exist?
If I'm the only one who are against it, you can just ignore me
Being persuaded by everyone just makes me uncomfortable
To my friends who are exchanging looks, I am nothing but a nuisance
I know
I differently don't want to become a white sheep
The moment u turned into one, I will cease to be my self
Am I disturbing someone because I'm different from my surroundings?
What do the adults hate about changing hair color?
Do they think it will be a symbol of rebellion?
Am I being nuisance just for having different color?
Releasing your own version of the truth,
While pretending to be a white ,
Finding the black sheep, pointing of them as you laugh
If that's so then so we are always,
And at everytime we are always,
We'll stick like a sore thumb here..
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 😭
There's many group hv unique concept, but Keyakizaka46 is another level concept.. Love so much this group.. 💗💗💗
Am the only one who crying..?? This song is beautiful.. Their song always hv deep meaning..

Kuroi Hitsuji - Domba Hitam
Buat kelen kelen yg dari Indo, ni transletannya:
Apakah lampu lalu lintas itu berwarna biru atau hijau?
Mana yang benar?
Aku hanya ingin memperjelas hal yang tak pasti
Sulit untuk melalui keramaian di distrik perbelanjaan pada sore hari
Aku melintasi rel dan pulang melalui jalan lain
Aku tak suka suasana kelas sepulang sekolah
Seolah mereka saling mengerti satu sama lain di sana
Aku tak perlu untuk bertukar pendapat
Aku yang ditentang pun hanya bisa menjadi diam
Meski mengatakan yang ingin dikatakan
Rasanya terlalu optimis untuk bisa menyelesaikannya
Seseorang pun menghela nafas
Itulah suara yang sebenarnya, kan?
Domba hitam, lebih baik jika aku yang pergi dari sini
Dengan begitu waktu yang berhenti akan bergerak kembali
Apakah ada jawaban yang dapat diterima oleh semua orang?
Jika hanya aku yang menentang maka lebih baik abaikan aku
Dipaksa oleh semua orang itu tidaklah menyenangkan
Aku hanyalah si pembuat keributan bagi teman-temanku yang memandang
Mencolok dengan buruk di antara kawanan putih
Hanya akulah domba berwarna hitam
Aku tak ingin diwarnai dengan warna yang sama
Kira-kira kapan aku harus menyalakan lampu kamarku yang redup ini?
Hanya ada masa lalu tanpa cinta di smartphone-ku
Aku tidak bisa memahami bagaimana hubungan antar manusia
Dan aku menyesal karena tak terlibat di dalamnya
Sebagian besar hidupku berjalan tak seperti harapan
Ada begitu banyak hal yang tak bisa kuterima
Aku dipaksa untuk menyerah, akan tetapi
Jika begitu, tentu saja aku takkan puas pada diriku
Di saat itu berapa kali aku harus meludah dan menggigit bibirku?
TIDAK! TIDAK! TIDAK! TIDAK!
"Semua ini adalah salahku"
Domba hitam, lebih baik jika aku yang pergi dari sini
Dengan begitu waktu yang berhenti akan bergerak kembali
Apakah ada jawaban yang dapat diterima oleh semua orang?
Jika hanya aku yang menentang maka lebih baik abaikan aku
Dipaksa oleh semua orang itu tidaklah menyenangkan
Aku hanyalah si pembuat keributan bagi teman-temanku yang memandang
Aku tahu itu
Aku tidak akan pernah mau menjadi domba berwarna putih
Jika aku berubah seperti itu maka aku bukan menjadi diriku lagi
Apakah aku mengganggu orang lain karena berbeda dengan sekitarku?
Apakah yang dibenci para orang dewasa dari mewarnai rambut?
Apakah mereka berpikir itu adalah simbol dari pemberontakan?
Apakah memiliki warna berbeda menjadikanku pembuat keributan?
Oh...
Wahai orang-orang yang membuang kebenaran
Dan juga berpura-pura menjadi domba putih
Apakah kalian masih mentertawakan si domba hitam?
Jika begitu, aku akan selalu
Meski begitu, aku akan selalu
Mencolok dengan buruk di sini

I've watched many times since the first time this video came out, but I needed to give a comment regarding the recent news.
Thank you for all the people who make this song exist. It may be just another song for anyone, but this song means a lot to me.
For all Keyakizaka46 members, uncountable gratitude isn't even enough. All of you have worked hard to represent this song.
Congratulation to Dani and Suzumon for your graduation, and all the best to Shiori for your study.
Techi, whatever your decision is, I will keep rooting on you. Even though I may not know you personally, but thank you for being my friend. This song will be your gift to me.
I'm sorry for blabbering nonsense here however, this is the closest media which perhaps may reach you.
Rise and Shine Keyakizaka46. We fans will always root for you.

@@ramusic238 just read a bit on the topic. Hirate was under a lot of pressure especially since a certain incident during a 2017 handshake event, incident caused by a third party. Eventually, she was out. I might probably learn more if I dig deeper, but at the end of the day it's her and her company's business, and even if there was foul play, I'm just a guy on the net and it's not my job to go full-on investigation on complete strangers.

Yamaguchi Maho's comment after performing Kuroi Hitsuji on her graduation stage:
"I borrowed Keyakizaka46's song. I'm thankful to Keyakizaka46's fans for kindly accepting it. This song wasn't meant as a sarcasm.
It has helped me for the last five months, I think it gives courage to anyone. I'm happy if I can get across what I want to say."

An ex NGT48 performed a Keya's song, what a beautiful crossover.
