TRANSLATION


“Seventeen”, dreaming of the places I longed to go
I wandered in search of real freedom

Lost in the gaps between the heavy rain
I want to stay here longer
But I have to go, I need to make up my mind
I’m not strong
So it doesn’t seem like me
To live for someone else
“Sorry, bye”
I worried and did it over, saying it again and again
Staying within my limits to protect my pride
Unable to let anything push me outside those limits
Doubts hurt me and confuse me
I’ll throw away
All the heavy chains around my feet
I tried to kick away
The world with all its contradictions
But I thought I heard the sky I could see
Saying: “If you’re tired of things
Start to 0”
When I tap my right pocket, see
A “craving” overflows
But if only I had the strength not to lose sight of myself
If you’re tired
Catch the bus to head out on your journey
Even in the frantic city
I make mistakes and start over
And remember the phrase I heard that say
Always start to 0
In your heart
“Seventeen”, dreaming of the places I longed to go

Every day the same, longing for a light

Today, once again, I feel like I’ve been beaten up
Though I don’t have any wounds

Why do I keep stifling my words
And pretending not to see?

Oh, every day the same, I dreamed
“Mistakes aren’t failures, give it your all!”
A little, smiling angel pointed to a way out where light shone in
And disappeared in an instant, leaving words behind

Could you stop
Justifying everything now?

Everyone, yeah, gives a pained smile
Not wanting to take the blame

Oh, every day the same, I dreamed
“Where’s the real me?”
I can’t find the answer right away
Should I just give up…
“Losing something” and “letting go of something” seem to be different

I ask the person I’ll be in the distant future
Am I good enough as I am?

To the little angel who smiled in my dreams one day
I’ve stopped
Lying to myself now

Oh, every day is the same
But little by little I’ll add some colour
And make my days a little more fun
Thanks, angel

TRANSLATION

You said that my heart is weak but I’m
the only one who understands my own weaknesses
You gently touch the wounds that don’t easily heal
and give me a strong hug

The overflowing tears, I don’t stop them
oh how nice it would be to cry in a loud voice
There’ll come a time when I forget all about it
and simply wander around...
The regrets that are carved into my heart
once they fade, I’ll be able to just laugh at myself
Oh how nice would it be, if I spit out the
uncertain future and the dark memories inside of me
The overflowing tears, I don’t stop them
oh how nice it would be to cry in a loud voice
There’ll come a time when I forget all about it
and simply...
The moon is laughing sha la la...
When eyes meet, sha la la...
nobody has to be alone

In my heart I hide a vortex of anxiety
Which of the roads before me
Is the one I should take?

Those days when I got swept away by other people
I’ll say goodbye to that me
I believe myself, I feel like
Everything begins from believing
I believe myself, that warm light
Can’t be wrong, I’ll walk into it
I believe
Those people who put on fake smiles
Amid all the lies
They, along with the person I was when I was young
Make me sigh
I won’t be stained in any colour
I swore I’d be “black”
I believe myself, I feel like
Everything begins from believing
I believe myself, that warm light
Can’t be wrong, I’ll walk into it
I believe
The wide sky my eyes can see now
And the feeling of being true to myself
I believe myself, I feel like
Everything begins from believing
I believe myself, that warm light
Can’t be wrong, I’ll walk into it
I believe
Myself
I believe myself

TRANSLATION



That song I listened to with you ages ago
I suddenly hear it now
It was a sweet, sweet love song
But it didn’t have a deep meaning

The things and songs you talked about
Shine on me, and I close my eyes
I start to cry, and get up without thinking
Stay with me, I want to know
I’ve started to run to where you are
The ordinary things I heard and said
Seem to connect to make a line
The cloudy sky in my heart
Is blown in the wind, and little by little
It seems to clear, I think too...
“I can’t live only for myself
So I’ll live only for you”
I didn’t understand; now I’m coming to get that time back
It’s gotta be me, it’s gotta be you
We’ve gotta be together
I want to wipe out
The “goodbye” I said to you that day
That day
You smiled calmly
I’m coming to hold you, I love you
Stay with me, I want to know
How we feel now
That casual tenderness, your beautiful voice
I’ll have them once again
Am I too late? Or is there still time?
Now I’ll hold you
In the one life I have, I'm with you

Without an end or destination
in sight, I walked on
drifting along like a balloon
whatever happened, it didn’t matter
During those uncertain days
suddenly I heard
music in my heart,
singing a song
Sitting in a dark, lonely, room I watch as
the sunlight shines through the small window

*melody melody
the gentle song sofly plays, healing my pains
as I hum it to myself...

The white string of a balloon
hangs from a large tree
and is blown off without notive
sing one’s heart out
cuz you can’t depend on anything
but when I need support
I just sit in front of my piano

TRANSLATION

The town hasn’t changed, it’s the same old crossing
What’s different is you’re not here

I can pour out as much love as I want
It’s spurring you on that’s the hard part
“I miss you”, the words I swallowed back
This afternoon
Come rushing out, I love you
Too fast to stop
I’m overdoing it…
“Just the root of the problem is making me tired”
It’s unusual for you to be so weak
It’s OK, “not enough is just enough”
If you’re tired, come back to me, at any time
“I miss you”, the words I swallowed back
Tonight
I love how powerful you are
This love is like a fast ball
It’s too strong…
When I put it into words: “I miss you”
I felt even more lonely
Maybe I should act more grown-up
Cause you make me haapy
“I miss you”, the words I swallowed back
This afternoon
Embarrassed, I look down, I love you
I can’t let you look at me
I’m being too cutesy…
"I miss you", the words I swallowed back
Every time
Your big, tender smile
Gives me the power of love
I want to treasure it

As this peaceful time goes on
My anxiety grows
Don’t leave me…

You were expressionless
With nothing else I could do
I dodged your cold lips with a kiss
Take me back to that day
When we loved each other
In the photo frame you gave me
Your unchanging smile
Takes me to blank world
And draws me anew
Alone, I look
At the shop windows in the town
The wind blows on my right, where nobody stands
Take me back to that day
When we loved each other
The hands of the watch I gave you
Have stopped…
Take me back to that day
When we loved each other
Thinking of you
I pulled the door shut…
It takes me to blank world
And draws me anew

Time goes by mercilessly, ticking down 1.2.3.4
Captivated, I’m swallowed up in you…

I want to fill this invisible time
So I’ll stay a little longer in the good dream I had today
A goddess from my heart appeared in the sky
Curveless lines are thrown into chaos, and I can’t stop them anymore
Time goes by mercilessly, ticking down 1.2.3.4
I slowly put together the missing pieces in the puzzle
I entrust my body to my emotions
Captivated, I’m swallowed up in you…
Bad news that makes me uncomfortable
And me, wandering around my own place
Everyone’s free when it comes to the shape of their love
I stuck my foot in the door of love’s darkness
To these eyes, the colour of a choking loneliness
Your sweet, cheeky smile is a sin
Existence isn’t a joke
The tank is overflowing, about to explode…
A merciless feeling, love, 1.2.3.4...
Time ticks by mercilessly, I count it, 1.2.3.4
Like a lion locked in a cage
Let me out of this dream, someone get me out
Before my emotions drive me to bite someone…

Yeah, I’ve been writing this story
I’ve even dreamed of this story

The moment thunder strikes
Your profile that I always watched from far away
And even your voice as you talked, and your mannerisms
Made my heart beat faster
I talk so you can’t hear it
And kick away the gloomy me
Reflected in the puddle
Yeah, I’ve been writing this story
I’ve even dreamed of this story
The angels have triumphed over the demons
I always imagined
Walking down the street with you, right down to the scenery
My mind is blank
And everything’s about to disappear
I laughed at the shy girl
Reflected in the glass
Your profile that I always watched from far away
And even your voice as you talked, and your mannerisms
