Assignment #7 English Song about "The Beast"



This is a song telling regret. Even creat a road, open the door or celling, the person never return.It was all because I couldn't throw away my selfish pride

I always builts a hard wall that no one can enter even though I am lonely. I was afraid to face the fact that I can not live alone. I refused other perple's kindness and became more and more cold. Finally everyone away from me. I didn't know how to recover those who have left. It was too late because they have gone away. But I know there is someone waiting for me in the future if I open my heart. Next time I will try to accept.I do not want to regret once again.


「The Beast.」を洋楽っぽく歌ってみた

曲:スペクタクルP
英訳 by ナノ

I would gaze at the pieces stacked so carefully with love 

from behind the closed shutters that were windows to your heart

I could not find a way to build a door to let me in

It was all because I couldn't throw away my selfish pride

Once upon a time,

a prince was turned into a beast

by an evil magic spell.

I cast magic upon my own self

and transformed from an ugly human into a beautiful beast.

"Thereare things that I would rather leave unsaid,"

fear of opening a long forgotten wound.

There inside the castle that I built all for myself

it was filled with an emptiness so deep that I could drown

One day, suddenly, you appeared

you had everything I had ever dreamed to have

the bricks I stacked towered over you

but you stepped and you jumped and you went right over

It's sad how cold you have become, bet you were lonely all along"

scared to declare but you gave it a flare

to repair the affair of words that were really unfair

I would envy the pieces stacked so carefully with love

so meticulously folded one on top of the other

Locked inside a lonely castle that I built all for myself

And the doors I would close to hide away my selfish pride

With my newfound strengths and an immortal body,

I felt as if there was nothing I couldn't achieve.

"Thereare things that I would rather leave unsaid,"

fear of losing every precious thing I had   

Finally the King appears in his lonesome castle and

is amazed by his very first beautiful taste of love


"Spare me from your sympathy, 'cause I really doubt you would everunderstand"

you bite and you fight and grab and you stab

but you managed to get what you dearly wanted in the end

I would gaze at the outer world so unified by love

but the one thing I failed to see was the most important thing

and my soul so familiar to the loneliness inside

glowered at the pool of sun as it collected at my feet

That is why I could not forgive the fact that

I needed the help of others to live.

Trapped within his selfish pride,

he spent too many dark years in solitude.

"Thereare things that I would rather leave unsaid,

yes, I know that it's your way of showing love."

Quietly the King retreats into his castle and

the emotions threaten from inside his lonely heart

"There are things that I would rather leave unsaid,

hoping for a love that would never fade away."

Given only eternity to do what must be done

I will happily devote myself for the sake of those I love

"Open the door and step right, won't you stay a while,

and let yourself be loved…"

In the warmth hidden deep inside the shadows of your heart

lonely walls start to crumble in the castle you have built

and the days you have given up in search of your happiness

is the one thing that tells you not to give up easily

I will gaze at the passing world and scatter it with love

as the tears fall endlessly I watch you walk away

I'd gladly wait a thousands years if I knew that it would bringus together again and we'd live happily ever after
