English

The white dress I’ve loved for ages doesn’t suit me
It’s because my eyes have grown wild and changed their colour, isn’t it
The light makeup that used to suit me doesn’t look good on me anymore
I can’t hide how much I want to cry anymore

I cover the traces of my tears with a smile
Again and again
It’s a kind of rough way of doing it
But I think it’s made me stronger

If I take off this heavy coat
And strip myself naked, what will be left?
I’ll strip away my confusion and my ties of obligation
And soon the “good woman” in me will awaken

I couldn’t talk about my dreams in front of people and just kept quiet
I felt that I mustn’t talk about them
It’s not that I’m not interested in love and dreams and things
But people have thought I’m cold

Sometimes you make one mistake after another
But you can’t blame other people
But don’t forget, see, remember
That’s sure to make you stronger

If I take off this thick mask
And show my real face, what kind of smile will I have?
I’ll peel away the tears and sadness
And the “good woman” in me will give a real smile

If I take off this heavy coat
And strip myself naked, what will be left?
I’ll strip away my confusion and my ties of obligation
And soon the “good woman” in me will awaken
