Ghibli Lyrics English Translation by Jay Fung
Playing tai chi with Totoro
When the game’s stuck with no way out
Daydreams give me strength
When I’m weak, wings sprout in a flash
Deep inside, we all have our own Ghibli Oh~
In this chaotic world, who I see isn’t up to me
My heart’s a secret universe, full of friends to keep me company
Endless meetings drag on, so hard to bear
But just one playmate sitting with me makes it fair
Scribble in some wild dreams
Turn this messed-up era cartoon-style, let loneliness feed me
Find that Ghibli in my heart, nurture it slowly
Even with locked doors, there’s still a window to the galaxy
When inspiration stirs
Don’t cage the little demon under my skin
Castles can dance
Skyscrapers take flight~
All it takes to start a studio is a handful of dreams Oh~
Since I was small, demons and gods, monsters and men shared the stage
The good guys always win by the final page
Scarred dreams? Just paint in flowers, pianos, stars, and clouds
Rewriting the world—let the next act begin now
Scribble in some wild dreams
Turn this messed-up era cartoon-style, let loneliness feed me
Find that Ghibli in my heart, nurture it slowly
When the air’s run out of oxygen
I’ll glow on my own
I’ll shine all alone~
I’ll sing my own song~
True heaven has no form
