Translation
I lost what was precious over a little thing
the cold ring shined before me
I told you 'all I needed was what we have now', but that wasn't the case
the door that leads to you, vanished without a sound.
the more I pray for your happiness, the more selfish I get.
but still I want to keep you here, that never changes.
when one person's wish comes true, that child is crying
and the door never makes a sound.
I guess I held back a little too long, wanting to be the one person
who could heal you, the one everyone needs
Wishing for your own happiness isn't a selfish act, is it?
If so, I want to hold you close, as tightly as I can.
when my tears have dried, that child is crying
at this rate our earth will never be dry
the more I pray for your happiness, the more selfish I get.
you can't stop me, you never can.
when one person's wish comes true
that child is crying
not everyone's wish can come true at once
the longer the world turns
the more I learn of kindness
I want to hold you once more,
as softly as I can.
