playground Lyrics English Translation by Young K
Looking back, life
Seems not much different,
Always appearing quite the same.
Back when we used to play on the playground (Na-na-na)
Looking back again, whenever,
It always felt enjoyable,
Though it never really was, but why
Did it seem so good? (Na-na-na)
Now, I’ve grown older,
And it seems like there’s
Nothing different from those days.
Going up,
Riding the slide,
Coming down,
Crying from getting hurt,
Dusting off and standing up,
Going up once again,
Playin’ in a playground.
Don’t look back, always,
People say,
Keep looking forward and run,
But my thoughts are somewhat different (Na-na-na)
Sometimes, what’s wrong with
Looking around, left, right, up, and down?
Because accidents can happen if you don’t,
We got to look back on those days.
Going up,
Riding the slide,
Coming down,
Crying from getting hurt,
Dusting off and standing up,
Going up once again,
Playin’ in a playground.
Getting caught,
Chasing each other,
Winning and losing,
In the end, we laugh,
It’s true, life is like
Playin’ in a playground.
