CORALINE [English translation]

Tell me your truth

Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth

Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth

Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth

Coraline Coraline

Coraline, pretty like the sun

Warrior with a zealous heart

Hair red like the roses

Those precious copper strands, my love, bring them closer to me

If you hear the bells toll

you'll see Coraline mourning

She takes the pain of others

and carries it inside her

Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth

Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth

Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth

Coraline Coraline

But she knows the truth

Not everyone can keep going

with a heart split in two

It's cold already

She's only a girl but she can feel

a kind of heaviness and sooner or later, she'll break

People will say "She's worth nothing"

Uncapable of even walking out the damn door

But one day, one time she'll succeed

And I've told Coraline that she can rise

Take her things and leave

But there's a monster keeping her inside the cage

that covers the road with mines

And I've told Coraline that she can rise

Take her things and leave

But Coraline doesn't want to eat, no

She would rather disappear

And so Coraline mourns

Coraline is anxious

Coraline likes the sea, but she's scared of the waters

Perhaps because the sea is inside her

And every word feels like an axe

A cut on the back

Like a raft sailing

the river in flood

and perhaps the river is inside her

I'll be the fire and the ice

A shelter in winter

I'll be what you breathe

I'll understand what's inside you

I'll be the water for you to drink

I'll be the meaning of good

I'll even be a soldier

or the evening light

And I'm not asking for anything in return

but a smile

Each of your tiny tears is like an ocean on my face

And I'm not asking for anything in return

just a bit of time

I'll be the flag, the shield

or your silver sword

And so Coraline mourns

Coraline is anxious

Coraline likes the sea, but she's scared of the waters

Perhaps because the sea is inside her

And every word feels like an axe

A cut on the back

Like a raft sailing

the river in flood

and perhaps the river is inside her

Tell me your truth

Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth

Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth

Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth

Coraline Coraline

Coraline, pretty like the sun

She's lost the fruit of her womb

She's never known love

Only a father who's not much of a father

They've told her that inside the city, there's a castle

with walls so strong

that, if you go to live there,

nothing will ever hurt you

nothing will ever hurt you
