To The Person Called Lyrics English Translation by KCM
As if cut by the edge of a blade,
As if pierced by a sharp needle,
The sting and pain make me
Want to cry out loud,
But I’m scared again.
I cover my mouth with my hands,
Hold back the tears welling up.
No one will know,
No one will care.
Now, cry out loud, let it all out,
Until you feel a little better.
Until the longing that fills your heart
Overflows completely.
Like the flowers wilting on the windowsill,
That’s what I see in the mirror—
My reflection, just like those fading flowers.
Now, cry out loud, let it all out,
Until you feel a little better.
Until the longing that fills your heart
Overflows completely.
What I’ve wished for wasn’t a miracle,
Just an ordinary life.
The small dream I quietly held onto—
This isn’t the way I pictured it.
I want to tell myself,
“You’ve done well, better than anyone else in the world.”
“It’s okay, you can shine again.”
I want to say this to myself.
To the person that is me.
