미운 오리 새끼 (The Ugly Duckling) Lyrics English Translation by YENA
Under a hat pressed down,
Hiding a day full of mistakes, yet again today
“Well done,” I sigh,
Forcing a pretty smile, trying to laugh
My heart’s haste outpaced my steps
I trip over myself, foolishly falling
Unaware,
Just tears flowing
I don’t wanna cry, I don’t wanna cry
Even if I fall again and run out of breath
I don’t wanna cry, oh, I’ll be alright
A small, unloved, but once beautiful child
Through the grey forest of buildings, mm
Even if I stagger and fall
It’s okay, I bravely shake off the dust
Taking bold steps like the very first time
The world’s harsh words all seem about me
Everything’s beautiful, except for me
I don’t wanna cry, I don’t wanna cry
Even if I fall again and run out of breath
I don’t wanna cry, oh, I’ll be alright
Don’t keep forgetting, you’re a beautiful child
Mama, don’t cry, it doesn’t hurt
Everyone carries a couple of bruises in their heart
It’s okay to be clumsy
I don’t wanna cry, I don’t wanna cry
Even if I fall, it doesn’t matter
I don’t wanna cry, oh, I’ll be alright
Don’t keep forgetting, you’re a beautiful child
