I want you to know,
that you are important to me,
I want you to know,
that I am hurting inside,
I want you to know,
that I’m really a fragile person.
I wanna know,
can you tell me?
I gotta know,
will you tell me?
Is it hello or goodbye?
I’ve been skipping classes a lot. Even the ones that counts for marks. I’m a really terrible student.
Now before anyone starts scolding me, I know that it’s a bad thing to skip classes. I try to tell myself that I need need need to get to class, but I buckle and just don’t go anywhere. I have hardly any self-control anymore.
I hate not being content with myself. This is just so stupid, and I almost wanna password protect this because I’m really ashamed of myself.
AHHHH! Life is confusing… T____T;;.
On a brighter note, someone stumbled upon my translation for the lyrics of Kokoro by Oda Kazumasa and wants to upload it to her Italian drama fansite. I’m thinking of letting her, but I think I’ll go consult Fukui-sensei about the accuracy of the translation, because I had some big problems with some of the lines.
So, I’ve completely humiliated myself (refer to the post below, if you really need to know). So, to somehow regain my sanity and integrity, here is ‘Our Love’ and ‘Listen to the Sea’ in much better quality and accuracy.
F.I.R. - 我们的爱
My memories emerged when I reminisced my blurry childhood:
a blue sky full of flow-y clouds.
You said then, that we would go hand-in-hand,
until the end of time…
Ever since then, I’ve been afraid to glance upwards,
Scared that my sky had become colorless.
From that day on, I forgot how to breath…
And tears, would never
never flow…
Our Love…
Passed and would never return.
Even now, I am still silently waiting.
Our Love, I understand,
has already become your burden.
It’s just that I can’t ever let go,
that last warmth… that warmth which you gave me.

Our Love, I understand,
has already become your burden.
It’s just that I can’t ever let go,
that last warmth… that warmth which you gave me.
I don’t need to ask you if you still loved me,
Right now, I just want a sky all to myself.
Leave this choking world,
no longer alone…
Our Love…
Passed and would never return.
Even now, I am still silently waiting.
Our Love, I understand,
has already become your burden.
It’s just that I can’t ever let go,
that last warmth… that warmth which you gave me.
张惠妹 - 听海
Write a letter telling me the color of the sea today.
The sea that stays with you during the night. What are your emotions?
Gray means you won’t say, and blue is hesitation.
Yet the drifting you, with your crazed heart, stopped where?
Write a letter telling me what you want to dream about tonight.
And the me outside of your dreams, do I give you endless choices?
I clenched onto this heart, couldn’t even close my eyes this whole night.
Our affections are obvious, then why don’t you come close?
Listen…
To the sound of the crying sea.
While breathing out a sigh, and wondering who’s been heartbroken,
and not yet calmed…
Surely it’s not me; at least I’m fairly calm.
But the tears, even the tears, don’t believe in me…
Listen…
To the sound of the crying sea.
This sea truly is a bit too sensitive—
it has been crying with grief ’til dawn.
Write a letter to me, and let it be our last promise—
Expressing your emotions when you left me.

The wind could carry all the labor away,
in spite of my exertions it’s not real to me.
Your words will come floating in the air,
so let us just surrender ourselves to the sky… Rie fu - Beautiful Words
Do you still remember yesterday, that summer day?
The moment that was blown away by a swift wind?
Seemingly taking everything along,
Leaving only loneliness and precipitation… 林俊杰&金莎 - 被风吹过的夏天
Although I want to tell you about this feeling,
somehow my voice can’t keep still; I can’t say it.
I need to voice it in words however way I can.
More than anything, I want this hesitance to disappear… 東方神起 - HUG (Japanese Version)
Inside this heart, hiding, are swirls of worry.
I must keep going in front of me;
Which way is the road?.. ayaka - I believe
As it is, my love will not reach you,
I’m by myself, hugging myself to sleep.
Please give me your love once again,
even if I could go back in time… Crystal Kay - きっと永遠に
If there was no future,
and that everything of today will end,
what will you do?.. SHOWTA. - Trans-winter ~Fuyu no mukou gawa~
There’s no life, no life without it’s hunger.
Each restless heart, beats so imperfectly.
But when you come, and I am filled with wonder;
sometimes I think, I glimpse eternity… LENA PARK; Westlife; Secret Garden - You Raise Me Up
You were my strength with I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak.
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see.
You saw the best there was in me.
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach.
You gave me faith cause you believed.
I’m everything I am, because you loved me… Celine Dion - Because You Loved Me
Claim an open soil,
even if it’s merely a tree… 胡彦斌 - 蝴蝶
Until hearts are shattered,
and dreams are buried under the mists of river south,
then we’ll understand… 林俊杰 - 江南
(You can’t say I didn’t try. Lyrics translated very roughly and possibly very much incorrectly by me.)
見つめるひとみが
明日を照らしてく
小さな気持ちが
どこが遠い街で
ながれ悲しい涙をきっと止める
いま、手を取り立ち上がる
裸足で立ち向かう
こころひとつにして
YOU 大切な
YOU 君だけの未来が待つ
YOU 負けないで
YOU 笑い会える （世界が来る）
おなじ時をいま感じてる
もしも夜が来て
君が闇につつんでも
そばにいる
YOU 大切な
YOU 君だけの未来が待つ
YOU 負けないで
YOU 笑い会える （世界に変えてゆく）
君のこころが
悲しい涙もう
きっとさよなら
