[English]

Now let your wings spread, from here

Cause you've been stuck for too long

It's time you let go of the pleasure you've worn out

Lighten your heart, from now on

If you wanna walk freely

You won't be afraid of people passing by or of your past

Everyone is wandering around the streets late at night

Not knowing where they lead, where we're going

Don't look down, Don't be scared

Knock on the door you have closed

Mo-Eh-Wa (It's over now)

Let me say it before I hear you say it

Mo-Eh-Wa (That's enough)

Do the best you can, then leave the rest to Him

Mo-Eh-Wa (Alright then)

I'm gonna be free

If I had to shed a tear I'd rather laugh it off, Ahaha...

Wounds will eventually scab over

Then soon it will fall off, sayonara

Wish my heart could heal like that

Don't get me involved in a mess

We would end up hurting each other, meaninglessly

Over and over again

I'm out, I'm out of these foolish games

A chilling wind was blowing into the night

Don't be shaky, Step firmly

Let yourself flow as your inner wind blows

Mo-Eh-Wa (I'm over it)

Let me say it before I hear you say it.

Mo-Eh-Wa (I'm fed up)

Sorry that I can't deal with this anymore.

Mo-Eh-Wa (I've had enough)

I'm gonna be free

If I had to shed a tear I'd rather laugh it off

Night falls, the morning light shows its face

Mo-Eh-Wa (No more)

No more false hopes that you give to me

Mo-Eh-Wa (No more)

No more bullshit that you say to me

Mo-Eh-Wa (Let it go)

All the things that you wanna let go of,

Cast them all away to the sky right away

Mo-Eh-Wa (I've had enough)

What's important? Choose wisely

Mo-Eh-Wa (That's not necessary)

If you think so, just let them go

Mo-Eh-Wa (Alright then) I'm gonna be free

If I had to shed a tear I'd rather laugh it off, Ahaha...
