[Music] English translation of the lyrics “boku-no-negaigoto [My Wish]”

Lyrics: Mari Oda
English translation: tenshi_akuma

On a frosted window
Drawing your face with my finger
The drawing started to cry in a moment

When you dozed off
I trace your exposed and soft lips

Your warmth
Your smell
Being wrapped by them encourages me
I noticed
the more things I have that I want to protect,
the stronger I become

Even though we can’t see each other,
You spend your everyday life
in your own way
Without thinking,
I said to myself, “I miss you”
That made me surprised

Your touch
Your every voice
Being wrapped by them gives me power
I wish I’m also like your origin of power

I’m not invincible
I don’t think I can save the world
But I want to protect you
I learned
the more things I have that I cherish,
the more timid I become

Your thin fingers
Your future that I draw
At least I promise to make you smile always
and not to cloud your face
This is my wish
