おもちゃの兵隊 [Omocha no heitai] [English translation]

Spitting it out, gritting my teeth, the scattered pattern of my heart

If you could pick up this doll’s box, and see underneath it, you might realize

Even if I chant a magic charm, I can’t become an adult…still

Hushing my voice, I’ll be near you quietly

Because I’ll protect your world

That’s my true feeling, that I’ll hold onto til the end

This little doll’s dream

Being all on your own is tough,

And we all say things that are off the mark

Disagreements, conflicts, misunderstandings when we hit a block

My boxed-up emotions will stay like this just a little longer

If your dreams are scary and you can’t sleep, I’ll keep watch in your place

If you’d lift up your face, in front of you is this wonderful unspoken secret

Hushing my voice, I’ll be near you quietly

Because I’ll protect your world

And when my task is finished, it’ll be as before,

This little doll’s soliloquy
