Angela Aki - “Life” (English Translation) lyrics

[Verse 1]
Having too much honesty, at times
Does nothing but hurt another and steal their dreams
Using righteousness as a shield
We hide our own faults

[Verse 2]
One utters a lie that one does not wish to utter
Because of the desire to protect a precious other
Kindness, more than time
Can become the villain at one moment and love's ally the next

[Chorus]
That is life, life; even during the painful times
Life, life, one wants to believe
That in the space between 'right' and 'wrong'
Exists truth

[Verse 3]
Though in this world there is nothing eternal
Happiness can still exist
This is a truth your warmth has taught me
And even now, I want to meet you

[Chorus]
That is love, love; even during the painful times
Love, love, one will never forget
That in the space between 'meeting' and 'parting'
Exists truth
[Bridge]
Ah, even if I can no longer move
Ah, even if I can no longer walk
The things I have lost I will take back
As long as I step forth just one more time, oh

[Chorus]
That is life, life; even during the painful times
Life, life, one wants to believe
That in the space between 'right' and 'wrong'
Exists truth
Love; even during the painful times
Love, love; one will never forget
That in the space between 'meeting' and 'parting'
Exists truth
Because truth does exist
