Wish (OST) – Mano noras [This Wish] (English translation)

(Verse 1)
The truth was supposed to set me free,
So why does it leave me feeling so low?
If I showed them everything I see,
Opened their eyes to this “true lie” we know,
Maybe then they’d see where the problems grow.

But when they speak, they tell me, “Sit down, be still”—
That’s a command I can never obey.
‘Cause my feet will start running against their will.
We’ve been in this place, day after day,
But we don’t belong here; it’s not where we’ll stay.
Maybe I’m young, but it’s the truth I will say.

(Chorus)
On what path will you lead the stars tonight?
I’m not afraid of the warning signs, burning bright.
If knowing the truth is what makes you combust,
Then let me be first, let me be on the front line.

This is my wish:
To be able to do way more than I truly can.
This is my wish:
To reach far beyond my own grasp, that’s the plan.

(Verse 2)
I miss the freedom I had as a child,
I understood every “no” and every “don’t.”
Now that same freedom is burning, running wild,
But there’s a boundary, a line I can’t cross,
That won’t let me break free, no matter the cost.

‘Cause experience whispers, and doubt starts to creep,
Making me cautious, pulling me back.
The lessons are learned from a past that was deep,
And I never want to go down that same track.

(Bridge)
If someone could show me which way is right,
Where to go, what to do in this light…
My legs may be trembling, but my steps are steady,
‘Cause you taught me to stand, to keep myself ready.

(Chorus)
On what path will you lead the stars tonight?
I’m not afraid of the warning signs, burning bright.
I know only challenge and danger await,
But I will overcome them, I’ll conquer my fate.

This is my wish:
To be able to do way more than I truly can.
This is my wish:
To reach far beyond my own grasp, that’s the plan.

(Outro)
This is my wish…
To be able to do way more…
To be able to do way more…
This is my wish…
To be able to do way more than I truly can.
