I love the last stanza. Very cynical indeed.

My translation:
Spoiler:
the next LOVE

Lalala...

In front of mama’s mirror
There was something that captivated me
Even when I was a child
It was so outstandingly alluring

When was the last time I was able to believe in things my eyes can’t see?
Have I, a person who only believes what her eyes can see, become an adult?

Mama often told me:
"You are beautiful
That’s why a prince will come
To wake you from your slumber with his kiss"

When was the last time I was able to love myself?
Have I, a person who started resenting herself, become an adult?

This thing called "love"
Where, in what form and at what price
Is it sold?
Hey girl, where did you buy it?

Lalala...


We seem to have very different takes on the 1st stanza
