1000 (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The singer is nervously preparing a special gift of a thousand folded cranes in a bottle to give to someone they care about. They feel unsure about their emotions, not fully understanding what they are feeling or how to express it.

[Verse 1]
The singer’s true feelings are growing stronger, hidden in a diary that no one else has seen. They’re struggling with how to act around their crush, especially because they don’t like the way their friends pretend to not care or act shy.

[Pre-Chorus]
The singer feels like their confession could be done quickly, but it might be awkward. The boy they like keeps talking to them during breaks, making them nervous as they continue folding the cranes. Each crane is like a step towards making their feelings clear, and they hope it leads to something serious, not just a game.

[Chorus]
The singer keeps folding cranes for the person they like, putting them in a bottle and shyly offering them as a sign of their heart. They’re still unsure about their feelings, but it’s the best way they know to express themselves.

[Refrain]
The singer counts the cranes as they prepare to give the gift, feeling nervous. They don’t fully understand their emotions, but they continue with the process anyway, unsure of the outcome.

[Verse 2]
The singer feels anxious about how to express their feelings and wonders when and how to say it. They’re scared, feeling smaller with each passing moment, even nervously biting their nails as they think about the upcoming confession.

[Pre-Chorus]
The singer acknowledges that they could have confessed their feelings quickly, but they’re still unsure and scared. They worry about the awkwardness and whether they will remain just friends. Still, they carefully hand over the gift, hoping the other person will understand their serious feelings.

[Chorus]
Once again, the singer folds the cranes and shyly hands them over, not fully sure of their emotions or what will happen, but this gesture represents their heart.

[Bridge]
The first words from the person they like mean a lot to the singer, and they have no regrets about their confession, even if the other person still doesn’t fully understand their feelings.

[Refrain]
Counting the cranes again, the singer nervously hands them over, uncertain about the situation, but still hopeful that their feelings will be understood, even if they don’t fully know what they feel.

[Chorus]
The singer repeats their act of folding and giving the cranes, unsure about their feelings, but determined to express them as honestly as possible.

[Outro]
The singer reflects that their confession could have been quick and easy, but the fear of it being awkward made them hesitate.
