麻雀 [Sparrow] [English translation]

Next to every mountain is yet another mountain

They all have a companion

For believing in eternity

Maybe I'm a fool

Fly too slow and be left behind

Too fast and get injured

Didn’t the days all pass just like this?

After clear skies will come dark ones

I became used to it long ago

(Living) to eat three meals every day

Isn’t so miserable (after all)

In order to give you warmth I broke my own wings

I suffered (all) those hardships

Yet you didn’t care

I hover amidst the dark clouds

You see me but are indifferent

How many times will turbulent waves crash

In my heart?

You flew towards the snowy peaks of the mountains

I remain inside your memories

You became immortal, and I took your place, staying behind to look after the world

Even sparrows have tomorrow

After clear skies will come dark ones

I became used to it long ago

(Living) to eat three meals every day

Isn’t so miserable (after all)

In order to give you warmth I broke my own wings

I suffered (all) those hardships

Yet you didn’t care

I hover amidst the dark clouds

You see me but are indifferent

How many times will turbulent waves crash

In my heart?

You flew towards the snowy peaks of the mountains

I remain inside your memories

You became immortal, and I took your place, staying behind to look after the world

Even sparrows have tomorrow

I hover amidst the dark clouds

You see me but are indifferent

How many times will turbulent waves crash

In my heart?

You flew towards the snowy peaks of the mountains

I remain inside your memories

You became immortal, and I took your place, staying behind to look after the world

Even sparrows have tomorrow
