Doukeshi- English Lyrics

"Clown"



My night of solitude comes falling down

As if pouring down from the frozen crescent moon



My true heart, that was hidden behind a mask of tears and smiles,

Was somewhere, sometime, left behind.



I'm acting in the spotlight

The happiness I thought I had lost

The sadness I thought I had forgotten

The solitude

I continue to act them out



Even if I'm tired of dreaming

Even if my love has been betrayed

I am a clown, with my empty heart,

without even any memories,

only looking on.



Soon I will walk out into the spotlight

Embracing the lies

Tonight, again, the curtain will rise.



I am lingering in the shadow of tears and smiles

My true heart is only painting over myself



I have been acting for so long

The happiness I was sure I had thrown away

The sadness I had locked away.

I create a smile and put it on.



The sensitivity of the children

whose small eyes sparkle...

Before the accepting hearts

that would believe any invented thing

My mask crumbles and falls.



I am so inexperienced in being loved

I don't know how to give love, either.

A clown, that for just one sparkling moment

felt something well up in his heart

and knew what it meant to cry...



A clown that knew what it meant to cry...
