ENGLISH translation:

The old wound left on me 
Begins to ache 
I hide my trembling heart again 
And pretend to smile 

Even in my age now, I'm the same as before 
As timid as before 
I only learn how to pretend to be strong 

Though my heart is filled with feelings to convey 
You see, I can't change them into words well 
If I had not met you 
I wouldn't even have such an embarrassing pain 

Little by little, I've come to realize 
That my past never heals 
And that it's no use 
Fearing the future I can't refuse 

How much more courage do I need 
To say with my head held high 
"This is the only important thing to me" ? 

(*) Though I have firm feelings 
You see, I can't change them into words as usual 
Everyone is living this way 
With feelings they can't express 

Though my heart is filled with feelings to convey 
You see, I can't change them into words well 
If I had not met you 
I wouldn't even have such an embarrassing pain and ...
