Bitter Sweet [English translation]

Well this is such a sad affair

I've opened up my heart

So many times

But now it's closed

Oh my dear every salted tear

It wrings bittersweet applause

But when the show's in full swing

Every once in a while

High stepping chorus lines

Mean I'm forgetting

My Lullaby Dear

How rich in contrast love can be

Sometimes I'm quite amused

To see it twist and turn

To taste both sweet and dry

These vintage years

Lovers you consume, my friend

As others their wine

No, This is not

the end of the world

Stranded in love and art

And the game goes again

As we know

After many of the fairest, Goodbye

And now, as you turn to leave

You try to force a smile

As if to compensate

Then you break down and cry
