私が選んだもの (What I Chose) Lyrics (English Translation) – 『ユイカ』 (Yuika)

[Verse 1]
What if, before I was born,
I decided what kind of life I would have in this world?
My face, my voice, my height, my lover,
My job, my family, even the way I die—
What if I decided all of it in heaven?

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel like I could live
Without blaming others so much,
I feel like it would be easier.
What does my future self

Want me to learn?
What does she want me to feel?

[Chorus]
I’m living with what I’ve chosen,
I’m fighting with the weapons I’ve chosen.
What is it that you’re holding onto so tightly?
For me, it’s singing songs.

[Verse 2]
I don’t want to be the same as everyone else,
But I wish the world I see was the same as theirs.
May the beautiful scenery that girl sees
One day be visible to me too.
If I can decide in heaven,
In my next life, pleas
ive me eyes that can see clearly,
Give me eyes that can notice people’s tears.

[Verse 3]
Will I be able to take the things I can’t tell anyone
To my grave?
It would be okay if someone
Went to the grave before me without permission.
Even that girl who seems happy

Had nights when she cried, unable to die,
And I, who also seem happy,
Had those nights too.

[Bridge]
Will I be able to end my life
Without regrets?
Will I be able to tell God that I was happy?
You, too, live your life properly
Without regrets,
And make yourself happy.

[Chorus]
You’re living with what you’ve chosen,
You’re fighting with the weapons you’ve chosen.
What is it that you can’t give up?
That is the meaning of your life.
For me, it’s singing songs.
