Higurashi no naku koro ni - Why, or why not

To get my happiness I had done everything,
but had done nothing to be blamed and accused of
The sound of footsteps became louder every day,
Then I noticed the fact there was no time

I was a believer in life
to be myself always,
and was asking whether I would be alive

Give me a reason why not
to adopt in this way,
or judge me to be guilty of so many incurable sins
Tell me why, or why not
Complaining way too much,
maybe I overlooked something fatal for me

The whole world was at a complete standstill,
and I was in fetters, at the mercy of the mob
The silent warning became louder every day
Then I kept pretending
not to hear

Its meaning had been in the eyes
of beholder all along
It had grown dark before I found a sign

Among the nonsense tragedies,
what on earth you are looking for?
You only have to be honest to yourself and your own fate
Tell me why, or why not
Complaining way too much,
maybe I overlooked something fatal for me

There is nobody who knows
there will be nobody
Except for me,
all the world has gone mad

So what is forgiveness
you are willing to withhold?
What is the well-being
you are willing to make?
Now what? So what?
Don’t you come interrupt me, oh please,
while I am interrupting myself
