I want to share two other translations from youtube
because this is quite open to interpretation

[English Translation]
Is it even possible to simply fall asleep soundly
Without dreaming a fancy dream
Is it even possible to simply breathe freely
Without living a complicated life
May I cease to be brave, cease to panic, and have neither doubts nor faith in anything…
May I be impoverished May I be neither clever nor clumsy; be afraid of neither making mistakes Nor being righteous
May I drift into a pouring rainstorm
May I be shattered into rock debris
May I fully blossom, like a piece of rosy cloud
Is it even possible for me to be understood?
When I get deeply entrapped into a swamp
May I still free my spirit high into the sky
May I merely embrace myself, just to begin with?
Yes, it is comforting to learn that I can indeed cease to be brave, cease to panic, and have neither doubts nor faith in anything…
I can be impoverished
I can be neither clever nor clumsy; be afraid of neither making mistakes,
Nor being righteous
May I, then, drift into a pouring rainstorm
May I, then, be shattered into rock debris
May I, then, fully blossom, like a piece of rosy cloud
Is it even important for me to be understood?
When I get deeply entrapped into a swamp
May I still free my spirit high into the sky
May I dearly embrace myself, finally?
Yes, perhaps anything goes – I can
Become dust or stars
Become the ocean or the air
Become myself, and let myself go
Who can foresee anyway?
I might intend to go somewhere, only end up elsewhere
I might share a romantic encounter with someone, yet share my love story with another
One day, I might have seen all the extraordinary scenery in the world, only to find myself becoming nothing but the ordinary scenery in someone else’s sight
Anything goes, anything goes… If only, I may comfort myself first

English Translation
can i just sleep, and not have any dreams?
can i just breathe, and not engage in the business of life?
not courageous, nor nervous, not suspicuous, nor believing, and not possessing a thing
not very bright, nor stubborn, not afraid to err, nor afraid of normalcy
can I, drift freely like the rain
can I, break down like vases
can I bloom like a pink cloud?
To those who know me,
can I, show my heart
can I, descend into the earth,
can I, just tightly embrace myself?
not courageous, nor nervous, not suspicuous, nor believing, and not possessing a thing
Im good at, not being bright, nor stubborn not afraid to err, nor afraid of normalcy
can I drift freely like the rain can I, break down like vases
can I bloom like a pink cloud?
To those who know me, can I, show my heart
can I, descend into the earth,
can I, just tightly embrace myself?
let me be free to; become a speck of dust, or a star
become the ocean, or the air
become myself, free myself, to become anything i please
let me be free to; go anywhere, drift anywhere I please
fall into anyone's embrace, and imprint upon anyone's life
see every scenery, anything I please
allow me to console myself
