‘Once Upon a Time’ Lyric Translation
In the forest lives a monster
it can’t be seen no matter how hard you try
The emanating cries are, like screams,
hair-raisingly terrifying
People say
It’s taller than a house
with more than two faces
with a big, nay, gigantic mouth
it consumed even trees in one bite
brave one
defeat the monster
bring us liberty and peace of mind
The evil one
who terrified the villagers
An order to bring him to me now
The terrified ones are fearful
nobody stepped forth, noone no
only turning to each other
failing to step forth
one steps up and walks between them
Don’t cry if I don’t return
I died doing good so smile
I don’t have any
good photos taken
but use the one with the brightest smile
if my young sibling
asks about me
Tell them I went on a long trip
to a good place
someone tell them
that I was always brightly smiling
live on without worries
A house lit by a ray of light
crooked from age
wavering
cold from the absence of men
Nobody, nothing there
a story born out of that empty house
See what you will from it
Do what you will, whatever it is
Deep scars are left on those who remain
As they live on with memories unforgettable
