Lyrics & Translation

[English]

From above to below

I want to send you flowers

Let the roots take hold and fill the garden

Teeth begin to grow

We won't part until we meet

Who laughed behind this wall?

Let me borrow it, let me

Petals fall to the ground

Could that really be so?

Then the old man's hand leads him away

Open the door again; we'll meet

Are you a servant?

Sweet dreams

Always dreaming

Longing can't be steered

A current runs beneath the heart

On this stage of struggle

The weight in the heart when faced with obstacles

Too many springs and autumns

I can't be as brave

Not yet in full bloom

Yet I see the sky changing

Little by little turning red

I thought there was no trace

Remember, there is courage in returning

It's hard to learn to stay calm

There are always things that look so tangled

zǒng yǒu shì máng zēn me xiàng

The butterfly is so brave

Could that really be so?

Then the old man's hand leads him away

Open the door again; we meet

Are you brave in the ocean?

Better dreams

Always dreaming

Longing can't be steered

A current runs beneath the heart, rising

On this stage of struggle

The weight in the heart when facing obstacles

Too many springs and autumns

Cannot be as brave

Not yet in full bloom

Yet I see the sky changing

Little by little turning red

I thought there would be no trace

Remember, there is courage in returning

To recognize the elder's boldness

It's hard to learn to stay calm

There are always things that seem tangled

The dreamlike butterfly so brave

On this stage of struggle

The weight in the heart when faced with obstacles

Too many springs and autumns

Cannot be as brave

Not yet in full bloom

Yet I see the sky changing

Little by little turning red

I thought there would be no trace

Remember, there is courage in returning

It’s hard to learn to stay calm

There are always things that seem tangled

The dreamlike butterfly so brave

There are always things that seem tangled

There are always things that seem tangled

A dream like a butterfly

So brave.
