What About the Happiness we Promised?
Your response is a mess. At this moment,
I still remember the white dove next to the fountain, the sweetness scattering,
Emotions indescribably tugged and pulled. I still loved you,
Yet on and off you sang your song, pretending nothing was happening.
Time passed, moved on, love was confronted with choice.
You became cold, became tired. I cried.
The unhappiness of when you left, you hand wrote on a card.
Some love when given to just this degree, truly already hurts.
What happened, you're tired, what about the happiness we promised?
I understand now, won't speak of it, love has diluted, [I have] dreamed too far.
Meticulously counting one by one the happy and unhappy, yet still you don't abandon it.
Those feelings of having loved are too deep,
I still remember them all.
You've stopped waiting, what about the happiness we promised?
I was wrong, tears have dried, have let go, have regret,
But the music box of my memories is still spinning,
How can I make it stop?

About translator
This was one of my favorite songs so I felt I had to give it a translation since I grew up listening to this song.
Welp... this is my first try translating... fix my errors~
Note that missing pronouns in some phrases are because there is no clear pronoun in the song and I don't know who is doing the action.
Note that I made commas always denote spaces in the lines so there are grammatically incorrect missing commas.
