燕尾蝶  Swallowtail Butterfly

Words and Music by Ashin

 
The high-spirited broken chrysalis,  magnificent new life’s impetuousness

Searching the glittering heaven and earth for a beautiful dream

Who rules over love,  an utterly fearless rushing fire
Even if transmigration of the soul only serves as a foil

You laugh, you cry, your every movement all act as my bible,  cherished memorized praises
I’m cheerful, I’m melancholy, my life   I’d willingly give up my freedom for you, be controlled by you

You’re fire, you’re the wind, you’re a woven web of wicked devilry
The broken swallowtail butterfly still has its last beautiful dream
You’re fire, you’re the wind, you’re an angel’s seduction
Making  me be the swallowtail butterfly,  embracing my last beautiful dream
Making  me briefly happy, so moved

The high-spirited broken chrysalis,  a second new life’s impetuousness
Searching the world of love,  a beautiful dream

Now no longer a furry caterpillar, about to rush powerfully into the fire
A short youth about to resemble smoke and fireworks

This life, this love, this moment spent extravagantly  I’ve spent my colors extravagantly in your skies
You desire, you speak, you want me to act,  actually I’m very happy, it’s all because –

You’re fire, you’re the wind, you’re a woven web of wicked devilry
The broken swallowtail butterfly still has its last beautiful dream
You’re fire, you’re the wind, you’re an angel’s seduction
Making  me be the swallowtail butterfly,  embracing my last beautiful dream
Making  me briefly happy, so moved

Making me happy, making me hurt
