After I am gone (If I leave)
Under the moonlit sky,
my shadow looms alone.
Shall I try to talk to it,
"Let me pour my heart out"
Suddenly, as if heralding the dawn,
a puff of wind brushes past me.
Ask, just like letting out a sigh,
"Why should I live my life?"
I must live even if I am sad.
With sadness, I have to live.
Only after my life's final war, I can figure out
why I came to this world.
After I'm gone, if anyone remembers me,
let them know I loved
even my grief.
Like a sunset glow scattering in the air,
if my painful memories fade away,
Can I put a smile on my face again
and let it be water under the bridge?
A lone star shines o'er there,
it seems to sense my loneliness.
It cannot leave me in despair,
stays all night, a faithful witness.
I must live even if I am sad.
With sadness, I have to live.
Only after my life's final war, I can figure out
why I came to this world.
After I'm gone, if anyone remembers me,
I hope they cherish
even my sorrow.
Ah~ Ah~
Hopefully, someday,
if anyone mourns for me after I'm gone,
let them believe I was happy,
Hoo~
Hoo~ Hoo~
Hoo~ Hoo~ Hoo~
even in my agony.
