I think it’s a matter of time before everyone can conclude that
A man needs to survive on his own
In a quiet lane between buildings,
As I hold my knees,
I hear approaching footsteps
I cover my ears out of fear
Suddenly, I realize I have come to a point when
I have started to decline the good intentions of others
Because of the fear of getting hurt,
And the desire to protect myself as I am small and vulnerable
I think it’s a matter of time before everyone can conclude that
A man needs to survive on his own
No matter how proud he is of his possesions
Even if he does not give up or tries to put up a strong front,
He will eventually wither away just like a flower
What can I still believe in?
As I look back,
I realize that everything has changed
I can only lament that life has its ups and downs
I am who I am today because I have believed in myself.
I think it’s a matter of time before everyone can conclude that
A man needs to survive on his own
Even if he is like a flower protected by warm lighting
If he does not shed tears or look back,
He will eventually wither away just like a flower
What can I still believe in?
Everyone will ultimately leave me
Everyone can conclude that this is inevitable
Even if the flower has brightened up the world with its radiance
Even if it is not pretentious and does not seek to be coquettish,
It will still wither eventually
What will you be gazing at when that time arrives?
