Here Are Some of the Lyrics of The Apothecary Diaries’ Opening Song
As of writing, the entire opening song is not yet out, but we do have the shortened track used as the opening for The Apothecary Diaries.
Here are some of the lyrics of Hana ni Natte translated into English:
It might be better to quietly hide in the shade, don't you think?
Even if it's a flower like a bud, isn't it still something?
It might be better to keep it a secret and protect it, don't you think?
Blossoming splendidly without anyone getting in the way.
Don't get too caught up in the sweet and bitter.
That judgment isn't that important.
Don't worry and look down.
Not accustomed to love, not unnecessarily adorned.
I don't need a beautifully arranged vase or fertilizer.
Your appearance is beautiful.
Becoming a flower, look, laughing cynically.
I can't take my eyes off that exquisite face of yours.
Tasting it, your poison is my medicine.
