Lucid Fall – I Used to Be a Person 사람이었네 [Lyrics English Translation]

English Translation

I Used to Be a Person

A long carpet
Inside a closed shop
Talks to me suddenly

I am a gal from the Middle East
14 years old and stuck inside a room
I earn one dollar a day

I carefully take in
The scent of blue coffee
And I get the familiar smell of sweat and earth

I am a God of Africa
The master of fruits
And the master of land

Suddenly, the coat that I bought yesterday
Leans against my chest
And whimpers while shedding tears
Asking me to listen to him

I used to be a person
Though I was sold here
After I was turned into this cloth inside a factory

I used to be a person
Though I was sold here
After I was turned into this cloth suddenly

A glamorous red ruby
Turns into a naked youth
And reaches out its hands, stiff like a stone
Asking me to take a look at his hollow heart

I used to be a heart
Though I was sold here
After I was made into a ring inside a coal mine

I used to be a heart
Though I was sold here
After I was made into a ring suddenly

I used to be a person
I was a person
I was a person
I was a person…
