Ei [English translation]

The fortune fairy

Please fly, please fly

Do your magics

So that mom will let me go, will let me go

Everyone else will go too and I want to go with them

The ocean is warm and the sand is getting hotter

I know mom is worried about me

But it's not cool to be an outsider

refrain:

And now her eyes are getting fuzzy

Mom says; the world is a shoal of danger

The same world that took your sister away

I'll say the last word, and it's no

(2x)

Years go by

And the house is drowsy, mom is drowsy

Her daughter tries to tear the lock off

But it won't open, no, it won't open

Nothing could take that tediousness away

She's about to turn 16 and she

Knows that there's no magic

She yells 'let me fucking go out'

refrain

And on a july night

The daughter wakes up, dresses herself

Escapes from a window and fades into the bustle of the world

Mom falls asleep with a cigarette in her mouth, and soon she wakes up in panic

And she shouts, shouts the name of her daughter

But the daughter is far away, near the moon
