A full English cover of Baka Mitai (I've Been A Fool), with lyrics translated from scratch by me!
LYRICS:
I’ve been a fool, and been so childish
Fell down, and got hurt chasing sweeter dreams
Just a lie, a pitiful disguise
Written all over, an empty smile
“I LOVE YOU”, well, that’s not something we say
Couldn’t get it out, always just pulled away
So then why, please won’t you tell me why
You could find the words to say goodbye
Damn it damn it, damn it all, there’s no point at all
I’m still in love, and there’s nothing that I can do
Can’t drink enough, nothing that I drink makes me forget
The memories keep coming back, I’ve been a fool
I’ve been a fool, a real idiot
I believed in those sweet words you told me
And I thought that I was strong enough
As a solemn night slowly enveloped me
I have been alone for more than three painful years
Looking out at night, even the city changed
So then why, won’t someone tell me why
All that’s left of us is my regret
Truthfully, you’re no decent person
I’m taking off the ring that united us
It’s what you deserve, it makes me feel so relieved
And after all, if I waited long, I’d be a fool
Damn it damn it, damn it all, there’s no point at all
I’m still in love, and there’s nothing that I can do
Can’t drink enough, nothing that I drink makes me forget
The memories keep coming back, I’ve been a fool
Truthfully, you’re no decent person
I’m taking off the ring that united us
It’s what you deserve, it makes me feel so relieved
Even after all, these tears still fall, I’ve been a fool
