English Adapted Lyrics

----------------------------------
All of the sparkles and all of the prettiness,
I like them all as much as ever, but I find,
That finding coolness and creating toughness are
The things that have become my priority.

Throughout these times, things have changed so much,
But even now
"Tears are weapons of womankind"
Is all I hear.

We are not creatures that can weep easily,
We are not the coquettes you assume us to be.
You see all of these dolls,
Decked in all their pretty garb,
Living with the aim to please you,
They are not us.
We have to contend with our own weaknesses,
We have not the smiles that betray thoughtlessness,
Our placement on this earth,
Our existence in this world,
Is not for your soul convenience.
Don't forget that.

Without uncertainty,
My pain betrays me,
On those nights I feel my chest constricted.

Yes, perhaps it's true,
That over time,
When a person suffers, his being engathers
A greater capacity for grace and strength.

Are you aware of your confident gaze?
Did you intend the knowing look on your face?
Do you think you're in control,
Of all those foolish dolls,
Who seem to simply live for a dream?
They are not us.
So you approach us with your intricate eyes,
And a faint smile that seems so satisfied.
Do you congratulate yourself,
On how well you've cheated us?
We are no beings of simplicity.
Remember that.
