English Translation:
His lonely back seemed so unfamiliar
I just watched him as he walked along
And tears just formed so I just cried
Because I hated myself for not knowing all this time
Because he always pretended to be calm and smiled
Because he always pretended to be strong in front of me
I didn’t even think of it, I thought I would never see it
So I didn’t know about his lonely back
I didn’t know back then, I was too young
You must have been lonelier than anyone else but I didn’t approach you
Now I finally know, I hope it’s not too late
These are the words I wanted to say so much, I love you forever
My father
After watching him for a long time
I ran to him and just hugged him
I wanted to just cry, I wanted to cry in his arms
Because my gratitude toward you was so sad
I didn’t know back then, I was too young
You must have been lonelier than anyone else but I didn’t approach you
Now I finally know, I hope it’s not too late
These are the words I wanted to say so much, I love you forever
My father
You pretend to feel better after letting out a deep sigh
I can see your invisible tears
You don’t cry over your scarred heart with the painful wounds
I made those scars but why do I keep blaming you?
And your eyes showed you were tired
But you hid it, such a liar
Now I will embrace you, you can lean on me
And your eyes showed you were tired
But you hid it such a liar
You are forever a high sky to me
Your beaten hands, your wrinkled eyes
Your lonely back – I’m not used to any of those
Maybe that’s why I was like that, that’s why I hurt you
Even your turned back seems like baggage that I left behind
I haven’t done anything for you, I haven’t given anything to you but
These are the words I wanted to say so much, I love you forever
My father
