自愛自受 [I Love,I Embrace] [English translation]

[I've] finally gained a kind of light

and joyful freedom through experiencing and withstanding [repeated ordeals].

[If I'm] lonely, then [I'll] be content in loneliness.

[If] a fire is lit, then [I'll] put the fire out.

[As for] falling into some kind of love,

so long as I'm happy, it's enough.

I will control the pace of things myself.

Thank you for gathering around to watch and mischievously hooting.

Uncontrollably falling

[in a] romantic descent,

[I] wholly indulge in the

incomparably beautiful fireworks.

Leave me be.

Let me thoroughly enjoy [it].

Stop guessing

whether I will sigh with emotion or be moved.

Love is a real fabrication,

a strong weakness

I'm deriving pleasure from it right now.

[As for] ultimately what fruit it will bear

I'll love and embrace the consequences.

Even if [I end up] hurting,

so what?

It's not as if [I've] never been in pain before.

[It] doesn't really count as a troublesome predicament;

[it] is at most perplexing.

Caring about me so much

are we really that close?

My [moments of] sweet happiness and lonely sadness

are not someone else's novel.

Concerning the matter of my most private life,

please do not listen to hearsay.

Uncontrollably falling

[in a] romantic descent (nobody else intervene!)

[I] wholly indulge

in the incomparably beautiful fireworks (as sweet revenge against the past.)

Leave me be.

Let me thoroughly enjoy [it].

Stop guessing

whether I will sigh with emotion or be moved.

Love is a real fabrication,

a strong weakness

I'm deriving pleasure from it right now.

[As for] ultimately what fruit it will bear

I'll love and embrace the consequences.

I'll love and embrace the consequences.

Whether or not I'm happy,

whether or not I'm sad—

all [of those] are my gains.

[As for] ultimately what fruit it will bear—

I'll love and embrace the consequences.

So long as I'm happy, it's enough.
