If I was an Edelweiss, scared and in the dark,
Then even if the world were to forget me…
How many corners have I turned along the way?
But the hope that I found is right here.
You, of all people, are here. That’s enough for me…
So smile for me!
Even if, eventually,
It could twist into a helix,
A flower
Can never know the shape of its own shadow.
If, as an Edelweiss, I could fit in your hand.
If, as an Edelweiss, scared and in the dark,
Then even if the world were to forget me, I wouldn’t notice.
Having lived in fear of the wind,
I too begin to change again!
I don’t want to be left behind
By this endlessly progressing world.
Will I end up wounding many people in the process?
Even so…
Even if, eventually,
The shadow of its helix could become light,
A flower
Will keep on drying its tears.
’cause…alive in this world, we laugh, you and me.
’cause…alive in this world, I want to be a light.
This feeling is real! I want to remain strong! I won’t hesitate!
Yesterday, I turned my back on other’s wishes and started walking on…
I want be an Edelweiss…
I want be an Edelweiss…
You know, this world…
This world is so kind and loving!
If I was an Edelweiss, scared and in the dark…
But if I was an Edelweiss, I’d want to be the light…
I can’t forget the feeling of enduring it all alone.
Having lived in fear of the wind,
I too begin to change again!
These scars don’t belong to me alone—
There’s something special to be found there.
Seeing hope appear once again,
I’ll continue running onward.
