Bird On The Edge Lyrics English Translation by Lee Mujin
Sometimes they say if you go all the way, you’ll make it,
But sometimes, going all the way just leads you astray.
The sharp words I blurt out in haste
Keep coming at me endlessly, like a habit.
Maybe I’m not,
Maybe I’m not,
Maybe I’m not.
The smooth start I hoped for keeps slipping away,
Farther and farther, out of my reach.
The bitter wounds never heal, and those painful words
Leave me exhausted sometimes, sometimes.
Now, one by one, they’re leaving my side—
The ones who once dreamed the same dreams as me.
Even if I cheered for them with all my heart,
I’ll try to let it all go,
So it won’t faze me.
Even if it all ends like this, it’s okay.
Even if everyone leaves me, it’s okay.
I’m still here, I’m still here—the little bird left behind.
The glass-colored sea where white petals once danced.
I loved enough to have no regrets.
I’m still here, I’m still here—the little bird left behind.
The world that held me here.
“What’s a little failure?” I whisper in my ear.
“Did you really try your best till the end?”
I did, over and over, you cruel ones,
But sometimes, sometimes, there are those who just can’t make it.
Now, one by one, after they’ve all left,
I’m under a vast, pitch-black night sky.
Knowing I’ll be alone,
Without a word,
I’ll try to let it all go.
Even if it all ends like this, it’s okay.
Even if everyone leaves me, it’s okay.
I’m still here, I’m still here—the little bird left behind.
The glass-colored sea where white petals once danced.
I regret enough to wish I never loved.
I’m still here, I’m still here—the little bird left behind.
I’m still here.
One thing—just one—I couldn’t let go.
The thing I kept clutching in my hand
Was probably the breathtaking view like today,
The cliff just two steps away,
And you, who held me at the edge.
Only then, for the first time like a child,
I remember sobbing in your arms.
Ahh,
Ahh, ah.
That one thing remains, and it’s not okay at all.
Even if I regret, even if I love, it hurts too much.
I’m still here, I’m still here—the little bird left behind.
The world that trapped me here.
The world that trapped me.
Sometimes they say if you go all the way, you’ll make it,
But sometimes, going all the way just leads you astray.
