「風に吹かれて」

How the wind flows past me
It sways with me, carries me
My self-imposed punishment:
KOUSHUKEI 絞首刑

Thirteen steps
to the gallows
Accounted for,
one by one
It all began long ago
when I understood my role in this world

How the wind flows past me
It sways with me, carries me
What's their form of punishment?
KOUSHUKEI 絞首刑

Thirteen steps
to the gallows
Accounted for,
one by one
All their lies, their ridicule and the neglect
They pierce me endlessly like thumbtacks in my shoes

I remove my tattered clothes in front of the mirror
Still searching for the person, the one I was yesterday

Will the wind that flows past me
sway with me, carry me,
under the subtle strain of the sun and trees?
Will I be able to smile now?

The wind that flows past me
It sways with me, carries me
My parents condemnation:
KOUSHUKEI 絞首刑

Thirteen steps
to the gallows
Accounted for, one by one
I've been beaten, vilified and was abandoned
My journal doesn't lie

The wind that flows past me
It sways with me, carries me
The sentence you gave to me:
KOUSHUKEI 絞首刑

Thirteen steps
to the gallows
Accounted for, one by one
Gather 'round this funeral procession of broken toys

I remove my tattered clothes in front of the mirror
Looking for the reason as to why life turned out this way

I felt the wind that flowed past me
It swayed with me, carried me
Beneath the gentle and soft strain of the sun and trees
Even now, I still remain diffident

Tell me why am I so unlike the others?
Why do you always compare them to me?
What is the reason behind my conception?
Why was I born into such a perverted world?
Is my existence such a blight on this world
that you feel the need to compare them to me?
Why should I torture myself like this for you?!
Should I die? Is that the solution?!

Feel the wind that flows past me
It sways with me, carries me
underneath the warm filters of the sun and trees
I will fade away when this song ends
When this elegy finally ends. . . . . . .
