Mr. Lonely ~ 玉置浩二 Koji Tamaki
玉置浩二 MR.LONELY
Artiste(s): Tamaki Koji 玉置浩二
Drama Title: Konna koi no hanashi
こんな恋のはなし
English Translation:
Oh... Oh... Oh... Oh...
Oh... Oh... Oh... Oh...
Even I have things I must do
I try my hardest and worry when things don't work out
I sweat and still can't do it
People laugh at me and call me stupid
I hold back my tears
Wow...
I have nothing, but
You were always kind
Like a flower blooming in a field
And that keeps my spirits up
Oh... Oh... Oh... Oh...
No matter when, no matter what
If I can empathise with others
And it hurts my heart
Then even if I'm told it's useless
I don't mind
Wow...
I have nothing, but
When I think of the time I lived with you
Happy together like flowers blooming in a field
It keeps my spirits up
There will be a lot of things that don't come true
But I'll keep wishing
Wow...
I have nothing, but
Though we are always blown by the wind
Like flowers blooming in a field
No matter what, I always...
I have nothing, but
For you, I will laugh like a flower blooming in a field
Though we're far apart
And I'll always keep my spirits up
Oh... Oh... Oh... Oh...
Romaji:
Oh... Oh... Oh... Oh...
Konna boku demo yareru koto ga aru
Ganbatte dame de nayande
Ase nagashite dekinaku tte
Baka na yatsu datte warawaretatte
Namida koraete
Wow...
Nannimo nai kedo
Itsu demo no ni saku hana no you ni
Kimi ga yasashikatta kara boku wa
Genki de iru kara
Oh... Oh... Oh... Oh...
Donna toki demo donna koto ni demo
Hito no kimochi ni natte
Kono kokoro ga itamu nara
Muda na koto datte iwaretatte
Kamawanai kara
Wow...
Nannimo nai kedo
Nakayoku no ni saku hana no you ni
Kimi to kurashite ita koro wo omotte
Genki de iru kara
Mukuwarenai koto ga ooi darou kedo
Negai wo komete
Wow...
Nannimo nai kedo
Bokura wa no ni saku hana no you ni
Kaze ni fukarete itatte
Itsu demo donna toki demo
Nannimo nai kedo
Kimi no tame ni no ni saku hana no you ni
Tooku hanarete itatte waratte
Genki de iru kara

Brink Of Eternity ~ Rabindranath Tagore

Brink Of Eternity
In desperate hope I go and search for her
in all the corners of my room;
I find her not.
My house is small
and what once has gone from it can never be regained.
But infinite is thy mansion, my lord,
and seeking her I have to come to thy door.
I stand under the golden canopy of thine evening sky
and I lift my eager eyes to thy face.
I have come to the brink of eternity from which nothing can vanish
---no hope, no happiness, no vision of a face seen through tears.
Oh, dip my emptied life into that ocean,
plunge it into the deepest fullness.
Let me for once feel that lost sweet touch
in the allness of the universe.
in all the corners of my room;
I find her not.
My house is small
and what once has gone from it can never be regained.
But infinite is thy mansion, my lord,
and seeking her I have to come to thy door.
I stand under the golden canopy of thine evening sky
and I lift my eager eyes to thy face.
I have come to the brink of eternity from which nothing can vanish
---no hope, no happiness, no vision of a face seen through tears.
Oh, dip my emptied life into that ocean,
plunge it into the deepest fullness.
Let me for once feel that lost sweet touch
in the allness of the universe.
Rabindranath Tagore
I See You ~ Leona Lewis (Sountrack of the movie "Avatar").
Leona Lewis I See You lyrics Sountrack of the movie "Avatar"
I see you
I see you
Walking through a dream
I see you
My light in darkness breathing hope of new life
Now I live through you and you through me
Enchanting
I pray in my heart that this dream never ends
I see me through your eyes
Living through life flying high
Your life shines the way into paradise
So I offer my life as a sacrifice
I live through your love
You teach me how to see
All that’s beautiful
My senses touch your word I never pictured
Now I give my hope to you
I surrender
I pray in my heart that this world never ends
I see me through your eyes
Living through life flying high
Your love shines the way into paradise
So I offer my life
I offer my love, for you
When my heart was never open
(and my spirit never free)
To the world that you have shown me
But my eyes could not division
All the colours of love and of life ever more
Evermore
(I see me through your eyes)
I see me through your eyes
(Living through life flying high)
Flying high
Your love shines the way into paradise
So I offer my life as a sacrifice
And live through your love
And live through your life
I see you
I see you

XXI : I WILL meet one day the Life within me ~ Tagore

XXI
I WILL meet one day the Life within me, the joy that hides in my life,
though the days perplex my path with their idle dust.
I WILL meet one day the Life within me, the joy that hides in my life,
though the days perplex my path with their idle dust.
I have known it in glimpses, and its fitful breath has come upon me, making my thoughts fragrant for a while.
I will meet one day the Joy without me that dwells behind the screen of light--and will stand in the overflowing solitude where all things are seen as by their creator.
Rabindranath Tagore (From Fruit-Gathering)

Kokoro No Tomo (心の友) ~ Mayumi Itsuwa 五輪真弓
Mayumi Itsuwa - Kokoro No Tomo ~ 心の友
When I stole the pain from you, that time
The courage to live flowed inside of me too
Until I met you I was a lonely vagabond
Let me feel the warmth in your hand
Love is always a lullaby
When you become tired of the journey
With the friend in your heart
Call me
Forgetting about believing each other
Why do people chase the peaceful days that have gone by
Closing my eyelids quietly, opening the door of my heart
Once you grab me, wipe away my tears
Love is always a lullaby
When you are weak
With the friend in your heart
Call me
Love is always a lullaby
When you become tired of the journey
With the friend in your heart
Call me

歌姫 Utahime (Siren) ~ 中島みゆき Miyuki Nakajima
Lyric from http://sites.google.com/site/gregsharp/kansuigyo
歌姫
Utahime
(Siren)
======
淋しいなんて 口に出したら
誰もみんなうとましくて 逃げ出してゆく
淋しくなんかないと笑えば
淋しい荷物 肩の上でなお重くなる
せめておまえの歌を 安酒で飲みほせば
遠ざかる船のデッキに立つ自分が見える
If you say you are lonely
People become unpleasant and avoid you
If you laugh and say you’re not lonely
The baggage of sadness becomes heavy on your shoulders
But at least when you sing, and I drink my fill of cheap sake
I see myself standing on the deck of a faraway ship (5)
[Chorus]
歌姫 スカートの裾を
歌姫 潮風になげて
夢も哀しみも欲望も 歌い流してくれ
Siren, take your skirt hem
Siren, throw it into the salty breeze
Sing away my desires, my sadness, and my dreams
南へ帰る船に遅れた
やせた水夫 ハーモニカを吹き鳴らしてる
砂にまみれた錆びた玩具に
やせた蝶々 蜜をさがし舞いおりている
握りこぶしの中にあるように見せた夢を
遠ざかる誰のために ふりかざせばいい
Delayed, on a ship returning south
A thin sailor plays the harmonica
On the sand-smeared and rusty toy
A thin butterfly lands, and dances looking for nectar
I have seen this dream, like it is closed within my fist
For whom, far away, should I hold my arms high?
[Repeat Chorus]
男はいつも 嘘がうまいね
女よりも子供よりも 嘘がうまいね
女はいつも 嘘が好きだね
昨日よりも明日よりも 嘘が好きだね
せめておまえの歌を 安酒で飲みほせば
遠ざかる船のデッキにたたずむ気がする
Men are always good at telling lies
They are better than women, and better than children
Women always like to hear lies
They like it better than yesterday, and better than tomorrow
But at least when you sing, if I drink up this cheap sake
I see myself standing on the deck of a faraway ship
[Repeat Chorus]
握りこぶしの中にあるように見せた夢を
もう二年 もう十年 忘れすてるまで
I will see this dream, like it is closed within my fist
For two years, for ten years, until I can forget
[Repeat Chorus]
======
Notes
======
(1) Some question about this line. One interpretation is that the reason that Mariko is on the phone with her boyfriend. That is, Mariko is the girl for whom she will give him up.
(2) In the 1980’s, it was common to work all day on Saturday in Japan. Movie theatres were open late (often all night long) on Saturdays because Sunday was a holiday.
(3) Is he or she going to the ocean?
(4) Is he or she writing the letter?
(5) She sees herself standing on the same ship as the man in the dream (who lied to her two or ten years ago).

You Were Meant For Me ~ Jewel
You Were Meant For Me
I hear the clock, it's six a.m.
I feel so far from where I've been
I got my eggs I got my pancakes too
I got my maple syrup, everything but you.
I break the yolks, make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots off the mirror
Don't leave the keys in the door
Never put wet towels on the floor anymore' cause
Dreams last so long
even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
I called my momma, she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk
So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news
More hearts being broken or people being used
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same
'Cause it was happy or I was sad
It made me miss you oh so bad 'cause
Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
I go about my business, I'm doing fine
Besides what would I say if I had you on the line
Same old story, not much to say
Hearts are broken, everyday.
I brush my teeth and put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
I pick a book up. Turn the sheets down.
And then I take a deep breath and a good look around
Put on my pjs and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll be all right
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause
Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Yeah... You were meant for me and I was meant for you.

An Evening ~ William Allingham
Fields of Gold ~ Eva Cassidy
Fields of Gold ~ Eva Cassidy
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Among the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
And you can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As you lie in fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

LOVE'S VICISSITUDES ~ Robert Louis Stevenson

Love's Vicissitudes
AS Love and Hope together
Walk by me for a while,
Link-armed the ways they travel
For many a pleasant mile -
Link-armed and dumb they travel,
They sing not, but they smile.
Hope leaving, Love commences
To practise on the lute;
And as he sings and travels
With lingering, laggard foot,
Despair plays obligato
The sentimental flute.
Until in singing garments
Comes royally, at call -
Comes limber-hipped Indiff'rence
Free stepping, straight and tall -
Comes singing and lamenting,
The sweetest pipe of all.
AS Love and Hope together

And as he sings and travels
With lingering, laggard foot,

Papa - Paul Anka
Papa - Paul Anka
Everyday my papa would work
To try to make ends meet
To see that we would eat
Keep those shoes upon my feet
Every night my papa would take me
And tuck me in my bed
Kiss me on my head
After all my prayers were said
And there were years
Of sadness and of tears
Through it all
Together we were strong
We were strong
Times were rough
But Papa he was tough
Mama stood beside him all along
Growing up with them was easy
The time had flew on by
The years began to fly
They aged and so did I
And I could tell
That mama she wasn't well
Papa knew and deep down so did she
So did she
When she died
Papa broke down and he cried
And all he could say was, "God, why her? Take me!"
Everyday he sat there sleeping in a rocking chair
He never went upstais
Because she wasn't there
Then one day my Papa said,
"Son, I'm proud of how you've grown"
He said, "Go out and make it on your own.
Don't worry. I'm O.K. alone."
He said, "There are things that you must do"
He said, "There's places you must see"
And his eyes were sad as he
As he said goodbye to me
Every time I kess my children
Papa's words ring true
He said, "Children live through you.
Let them grow! They'll leave you, too"
I remember every word Papa used to say
I kiss my kids and pray
That they'll think of me
Oh how I pray
They will think of me
That way
Someday

I Continue To Dream ~ Langston Hughes (1902-1967)

I Continue To Dream
I take my dreams and make of them a bronze vase
and a round fountain with a beautiful statue in its center.
And a song with a broken heart and I ask you:
Do you understand my dreams?
Sometimes you say you do,
And sometimes you say you don't.
Either way it doesn't matter.
I continue to dream.
I take my dreams and make of them a bronze vase
and a round fountain with a beautiful statue in its center.
And a song with a broken heart and I ask you:
Do you understand my dreams?
Sometimes you say you do,
And sometimes you say you don't.
Either way it doesn't matter.
I continue to dream.

Turn Back The Clock ~ Johnny Hates Jazz
Turn Back The Clock - Johnny Hates Jazz
Another day is ended
And I still can't sleep
Remembering my yesterdays
I begin to weep
If I could have it over
Live my life again
I wouldn't change a single day
CHORUS:
I wish that I could turn back the clock
Bring the wheels of time to a stop
Back to the days when life was so much better
Lying here in silence
Picture in my hand
Of a boy I still resemble
But I no longer understand
And as the tears run freely
How I realise they were the best years of my life
CHORUS
You might say it's just
A case of giving up
No
But without these memories where is the love
Where is the love
If I could have it over
Live my life again
I wouldn't change a single day
CHORUS
Why can't I turn back the clock
Bring the wheels of time to a stop
Back to the days
Oh no no
I remember when
Life was so good
I'd go back if I could
Oh oh I wouldn't change a single day
Don't let the memories slip away
I wouldn't change a single day
Don't let the memories slip away
