Amano Tsukiko's Ningyou (doll). English translation.
What you were seeing was a beautiful me
An object to arrange on your display shelf
I put on a mask with the right smile
And just breathed quietly
Because I longed so much for the scenery beyond the window
I strayed from my path
If you didn’t know me
I wanted to tell you
Smile
Smile
I want you to smile
I’m going through life clumsily
I can’t do the right, right things for you
Because I can’t find them
The fairy tale you told me
Was a perfect echo of happiness
When I got the costume I’d been allotted dirty
I just kept quiet and hid it
Even if you cut the strings that control my body
So badly that I can’t move
If you didn’t hold me
I wanted to make you
Smile
Smile
I want you to smile
Even an odd answer is fine by me
The right, right words are here
But I can’t say them yet
I’ll put on my shoes and dance
Until you let me take them off
What I threw away because it was holding me back
I never had from the beginning
Smile
Smile
I want you to smile
I’m going through life clumsily
I can’t do the right, right things for you
Because I can’t find them
Smile
Smile
I want you to smile
I’m going through life clumsily
I can’t do the right, right things for you
Because I can’t find them
Far, far beyond the island, we dwelt in shades of twilight, through dread and weary days, through grief and endless pain. It lies unknown, the land of mine! A hidden gate to save us from the shadow fall. The lord of water spoke in the silence words of wisdom. I've seen the end of all: Be aware, the storm gets closer.
