Brave Heart


First, I've been lying to myself.
Second, my chest has been aching.
So I pretended not to have noticed the third.
This is fine with me.
Everything is okay now.
It's all right if I can't be myself.
My weak and timid Braveheart
is scared of getting hurt.
Ah come on, just laugh it away...
Holding on to the little courage I have,
I can only shut my eyes and keep going forward.
Ah yes, I know I'm very reckless.
Having been overtaken by regrets,
I must escape sooner rather than later,
so I had to abandon the things I had been treasuring.
When I have realized all these,
I'm already merely a living vessel,
and that's exactly what my life is worth now.
You have a wonderful name, Braveheart,
despite the fact that you're so useless.
Ah, but yet you're still on the move.
What should I wish for from my life?
As my trembling heart bursts open,
ah, I guess I can't help but want to live.
I've had enough.
I'm not distressed at all,
but my tears won't stop flowing.
Ah, you told me so before, huh, Braveheart,
even the fact that things would turn out this way.
Ah, I'm really sorry. It's my fault.
Using all the courage I have,
I'll open my eyes, and look forward!
Ah, I have no idea the world can be so bright!
Now you can finally smile, can't you?
Have the courage to withstand defeat,
and do not fear getting hurt any longer.
That's right! Now THAT is my Braveheart!

Pohon Usang

Engkau seekor burung gagah yang terbang tinggi,
terbang bebas diruang angkasa nan luas,
seribu satu jenis pemandangan indah dapat kau saksikan,
semakin tinggi engkau terbang,
semakin tinggi pula keegoan diri mu,
bangga dengan sayap mu yang membawa engkau terbang lebih jauh,
sehingga engkau lupa akan diriku yang berada disini...

Namun aku tetap aku dan tidak mungkin yang lain,
sebatang pohon usang yang berusia lewat dimamah zaman,
tetap juga engkau terbang ke penghujung dunia,
meninggalkan aku sendirian sepi keseorangan,
pabila rintik hujan membasahi bumi,
pabila sayap engkau patah,
aku tetap bediri meneduhi dari lebatnya hujan,
aku masih gah menjadi tempat untuk engkau merawat luka...

Akan tetapi engkau tetap terbang meninggalkan aku sendirian lagi,
pergi lebih jauh setelah teduhnya hujan,
terbang lebih tinggi setelah sihat kembali,
namun aku masih berada disini,
setia menanti untuk engkau hinggap kembali,
aku akan meneduhi mu,
akan ku teman mengubat luka mu,
kerana aku pohon usang, 
yang tidak mungkin kan terbang bersama mu...
