translation of One-Eared Ghost

<2nd draft>

Ah… guess that part of me just died.
Whose fault is it—what caused this?
Your voice and even the sirens fall into one-sided dark.
So… what am I supposed to do now?
My left ear’s still trying to hang on.
Still… I should say goodbye to the other one.

Tired of those dull, draining days, I finally broke out.
Even half-lost and reckless, that muffled alarm keeps blaring on.
Don’t wanna live, don’t wanna die—so here I am, half-deaf to everything.
I just wanna know how it sounds to you.

I lived just doing what I was told.
The moment I broke, you let me go.
What was that supposed to mean?
Fine—then I’ll just do whatever I want now.
I lived my life for you.
But once I broke, you walked away.
Now I’m a ghost girl missing one side of myself.

Never notice again.
Never hear again.
Never get it back again.
la-lu-la-li-la

Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it.
One ear left—left to God’s whim.
My life’s halfway to hell—someone who hears “right” wouldn’t get it.

I lived just doing what I was told.
The moment I broke, you let me go.
What was that supposed to mean?
Fine—then I’ll just do whatever I want now.
I lived my life for you.
But once I broke, you walked away.
Now I’m a ghost girl missing one side of myself.

Ah, I’m dead.
Whose fault is this, and why?
Your voice and the car sirens fade into the dark.
So, what am I gonna do now?
My left ear’s still alive, though.
Guess I should say goodbye for now.

Done with those boring, annoying days, even if I snapped.
That hard-to-hear alarm keeps ringing anyway.
Don’t wanna live, don’t wanna die, so here I am—can’t hear much though.
I just wanna know how it sounds to you.

I lived doing everything I was told.
The moment I broke, you ditched me.
What was that supposed to mean?
Fine, then I’ll just do whatever I want.
I lived my life for you.
Yet the moment I broke, you gave up on me.
Now I’m a ghost girl missing half of myself.

Never notice again.
Never hear again.
Never go back again.
la-lu-la-li-la

Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it.
One side left, moved by God’s whim.
My life’s heading straight to hell—you, who hears clearly, wouldn’t get it.

I lived doing everything I was told.
The moment I broke, you ditched me.
What was that supposed to mean?
Fine, then I’ll just do whatever I want.
I lived my life for you.
Yet the moment I broke, you gave up on me.
Now I’m a ghost girl missing half of myself.
