Genius English Translations
Mili - 不死蝶 (Le Papillon Immortel) (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
The red bird lost its crown
And disappeared into the deep valley
Along with the wind, the white flowers danced freely with the butterflies
[Chorus]
If you’re gonna say you hate me
Don’t look this way
If the aroma of beautiful flowers do nothing to you, that’s your loss
Resting its chin on the palm, the shadow laughs from its throne
I’m not expecting anything from you
But you think you are as almighty as the gods
I do not dance for you
[Verse 2]
The wings are deeply wounded
The more they dance, the more they break
Even if you rip off my wings
I can always bring myself back up
[Verse 3]
Even if the earth is covered in ashes
I will dance, again and again
[Verse 4]
You don’t like it when you can’t have your way with me
Isn’t that right?
I’m not living my life for you
All I need is myself and myself only
[Chorus]
If you’re gonna say you love me
Treat me as an equal
If you claim that to be true love
That’s some disrespect, my little dummy
Try balancing your pride and our peace on the scale
You see, you are not as tough as your looks
I will dance freely as I wish
[Outro]
I do not dance for you, that’s all
I only do it for the wind
