When she was just a girl
當她還只是一個懵懂的女孩
She expected the world
她懷著無限憧憬描繪著世界
But it flew away from her reach
但現實在她面前顯露了殘酷
so she ran away in her sleep
迫得她只得在夢迴時分逃離失落
And dreamed of Para-para-paradise,
夢的彼端有座天堂般的樂土
Para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
總在她閉眼的剎那浮現腦海
When she was just a girl
當她還只是一個懵懂的女孩
She expected the world
她對未來保有滿腔的熱情
But it flew away from her reach
但現實抹煞了她的天真
And the bullets catch in her
teeth
她咬緊牙關,在困境裡舉步維艱
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
日子跺著步前進,重擔壓得她身心俱疲
The wheel breaks the butterfly

Every tear a waterfall
每一滴眼淚,都宛如滿載傷痛的瀑布般
In the night the stormy night
she'll close her eyes

In the night the stormy night
away she'd fly

Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
She'd dream of para-para-paradise

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

And so lying underneath those
stormy skies
屈服在狂風暴雨的茫茫蒼穹底下
She'd say, oh, ohohohoh

"I know the sun must set to
rise"
