The Japanese Cranes Wife

The Japanese crane's wife, Tsuru no Ongaeshi
Do you feel contempt... for the people you trick?

Two ways of being, do you want to modify?
Or prefer being alone
You know it's the same thing,
So why don't keep your feathers, and just fly on

Be yourself, be unloved,
Don't disappoint yourself, it's worse
You may find someone, who values you, just as you are

You've turned gold into dust,
You've reversed the Midas' curse
Do you feel contempt... for the people you trick?

Be yourself, be unloved, don't disappoint yourself, it's worse
You may find someone, who values you
Just as you are

Slithering in murky waters, like a lamprey in disguise
There are two ways of being

Do you wanna modify?
Or prefer being alone?
It's the same thing, keep your feathers, keep them on
