Lyrics Translation

Oka no Ue no High School (The High School on the Hill)

Lyricist: Chinfa Kan ・ Composer, Arranger: Mitsuo Hagita

School doori no shiroi kissaten kara ne

Kaeri no bus tei totemo yoku mieru


Mada kana tte omou

Sowa sowa tte shiteru

Onna no ko tachi matteru

Suki na kare


Seifuku ni magirete mo wakaru no

Anata nara dare yori mo mabushii

“Koi ga kyou kanau yo” to tsugeteta

Hazurete bakari no horoscope

Inoru kimochi


Guuzen mitai ni onaji bus ni noru dame ne

Tonari ni suwatte nannimo ienai


Hora hora tte omou

Ima iwanakucha

Getsuyoubi made aenai

Dou suru no?


Tameiki to doki doki wo hakonde

Bus wa iku komorebi no namiki wo

Me no mae de naichaeba ii kana

Mayotteiru ma ni shuuten

Furidashi nano


Nanigenai hohoemi ni kakurete

Raishuu mo kyoushitsu de au deshou

Onna no ko tachi no masquerade

Hashagi nagara

I’m at the white coffee shop beside the school.

You can see the bus stop so well from here.


'When will you show up?' I think to myself.

I’m getting nervous.

The girls are waiting

For the boy are like.


I can spot you so easily in the sea of school uniforms.

Because you shine brighter than anyone else.

“Today, your love will come true.”

My horoscope is always wrong.

But I pray.


Pretending it’s a coincidence, I ride the same bus.

How silly. I sit next to you, and can’t say anything.


‘Come on, come on’ I think to myself.

‘Now's the time to say it.’

I won't see you again until Monday.

What am I to do?


I take a deep breath. My heart pounds.

The bus is moving, the sun peaking between the leaves.

Is it okay if I cry right in front of you?

While I’m hesitating, we reach the last stop.

I’m right where I began.


I hide behind a casual smile.

I’ll see you at the classroom next week.

I’ll be in a masquerade of girls.

Acting happy.
