The Child Who Survived Lyrics English Translation by Lucia
Like a sparkler that keeps stirring me up
In the memories of my childhood, which were not beautiful
How did you grow into the person you are now?
I want to whisper to the memories I’ve hidden away like a secret
They say to forget it all, forget it all
As if someone were holding on tightly
Surprise attacks in the daily minefields
In an expression that seems unbothered
Tortured by a fierce storm
No one wishes to be born, but
Is it that you can’t be free or pure?
I ask if it’s something you can’t erase
But all of this has made you who you are
Yes, this is you
In the midst of surviving hatred and indifference
This darkness will only make your star shine brighter
You can’t turn it off
Gathering the glimmer of tears from the surviving child
Flowing like a galaxy, you will live on
Until the very end
Only when there’s no one around will you reveal your true self
When you quietly bury the ununderstood feelings inside
Childish fussing and long hesitations
And the awkward name of “***”
In the midst of surviving regret and torment
Yesterday only makes your ocean bluer
You can’t scatter it
We gather the glimmer of tears from the surviving children
Flowing like a galaxy, you will keep on living
Until the very end
Until the very end
