Angela Aki - “Our Story” (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
The world in a fairy tale always has a happy ending
But reality is something that moves on and continues
Oh, Cinderella lost a chance of love
Along with her shoe, yet even then
She found a perfect romance
But in our age
If we stand on our feet
[Pre-Chorus]
And simply wait for the shoes that would match them
A royal prince will never show up
[Chorus]
Our story, oh-oh
Our story, oh-oh
Our story, oh-oh
Is meant to be continued
Meant to be continued
Meant to be continued
[Post-Chorus]
La-la, la-la, la-la
[Verse 2]
Countless times, Snow White was tricked by the evil witch
Even then she never lost her honest heart
Oh yeah
People who pretend to be friends and hide poisoned apples behind their back
Lurk all over the place in this world of ours
In this age
[Pre-Chorus]
A tad of careful pessimism is necessary to live on
[Chorus]
Our story, oh-oh
Our story, oh-oh
Our story, oh-oh
Is meant to be continued
Meant to be continued
[Bridge]
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Life's a story but it's no fairytale
Life's a story but it's no fairytale, oh
Once in a while, it's okay to dream of a fairy tale
But the story we live in isn't as kind and gentle
[Chorus]
Our story
Our story
Our story, oh-oh
Our story, oh-oh-oh
Our story, story, story, story's meant to be
It's meant to be
Our story, oh-oh
Our story, oh-oh
Our story, oh-oh
Is meant to be continued
Meant to be continued
It's meant to be continued
