近藤真彦-夕焼けの歌 & Anita Mui-夕陽之歌 The Song of Sunset

Anita Mui-夕陽之歌
斜 陽 無 限 無 奈 只 一 息 間 燦 爛
隨 雲 霞 漸 散 逝 去 的 光 彩 不 復 還
遲 遲 年 月 難 耐 這 一 生 的 變 幻
如浮雲聚散
Like the floating clouds gather and dissipate,
纏結這滄桑的倦顏
Intertwist with this tiring face marked by vicissitudes.
漫長路
[In the] endless road
驟覺光陰退減
suddenly aware that time decreasing and receding
歡欣總短暫未再返
Happiness is often short and not comes back
哪個看透我夢想是平淡
Who has the insight that my dream is [to be] ordinary?

曾遇上幾多風雨翻
Having experienced how much trials and hardships
編織我交錯夢幻
[that] weaves my interlocking dream and fantasy;
曾遇你真心的臂彎
Having met your sincere shoulder and arm
伴我走過患難
[that] accompany me walking through adversities and difficulties

奔波中心灰意淡
In the rough time, [my] heart is dispirited and the mind becomes apathetic
路上紛擾波折再一彎
On the road [encounter] another turn of turmoil and obstacle,
一天想到歸去但已晚
One day when [I] think of going back bit it is already too late.

啊... 天 生 孤 單 的 我 心 暗 淡
路 上 風 霜 哭 笑 再 一 彎
一 天 想 想 到 歸 去 但 已 晚

夕焼けの歌
作詞 大津あきら
作曲 馬飼野康二
唄 近藤真彦

“あばよ”と この手も振らずに
飛び出したガラクタの町
あんなに憎んだすべてが
やりきれず しみるのは何故か
憧れた夢さえ
まだ報われずに
人恋しさに泣けば…
ゆらゆらとビルの都会に広がる
あの頃と同じ 夕焼け空
クソ食らえとただ
アスファルト蹴りつけ
あぁ春夏秋…と
この都会 誰れを迎い入れ
また誰れを追い出すのだろう
はじめて恋したお前は
俺の目が 好きと言ったのに
握りしめたこぶしが
空振りする度
何が宝と言えば…
に焼きつく
あの頃と同じ 夕焼け空
土下座したいほど
愛が欲しいだけ
あぁ春夏秋…も
Oh 弱虫の涙が
こぼれないように
空を見上げ 歩け
ゆらゆらとビルの都会に広がる
あの頃と同じ 夕焼け空
クソ食らえとただ
アスファルト蹴りつけ
あぁ春夏秋…と
に焼きつく
あの頃と同じ 夕焼け空
土下座したいほど
愛が欲しいだけ
あぁ春夏秋…も

Barter ~ Sara Teasdale

Barter
Life has loveliness to sell,
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
Soaring fire that sways and sings,
And children's faces looking up
Holding wonder like a cup.

Life has loveliness to sell,
Music like a curve of gold,
Scent of pine trees in the rain,
Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
And for your spirit's still delight,
Holy thoughts that star the night.

Spend all you have for loveliness,
Buy it and never count the cost;
For one white singing hour of peace
Count many a year of strife well lost,
And for a breath of ecstasy
Give all you have been, or could be.

Sarah Teasdale

Your Laughter

Your Laughter

Take bread away from me, if you wish,
Take air away, but
Do not take from me your laughter.

Do not take away the rose,
The lance flower that you pluck,
The water that suddenly bursts forth in joy,
The sudden wave of silver born in you.

My struggle is harsh and I come back with eyes tired
at times from having seen the unchanging earth,
But when your laughter enters, it rises to the sky seeking me
And it opens for me all the doors of life.

My love, in the darkest hour your laughter opens,
And if suddenly you see my blood staining the stones of the street,
Laugh, because your laughter
Will be for my hands like a fresh sword.

Next to the sea in the autumn,
Your laughter must raise its foamy cascade,
And in the spring, love, I want your laughter like
The flower I was waiting for, the blue flower, the rose of my echoing country.

Laugh at the night, at the day, at the moon,
Laugh at the twisted streets of the island,
Laugh at this clumsy boy, who loves you,
But when I open my eyes and close them,
When my steps go, when my steps return,
Deny me bread, air, light, spring,
But never your laughter for I would die.

Pablo Neruda

Sleigh Ride ~ Merry Christmas

SLEIGH RIDE
(Leroy Anderson / Mitchell Parish)

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
and friends are calling "yoo hoo",
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you.

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
let's go, Let's look at the show,
We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, gidd yap,
it's grand, Just holding your hand,
We're gliding along with a song
of a wintry fairy land

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
and comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you.

A Winter Night~Sara Teasdale

A Winter Night

My window-pane is starred with frost,
The world is bitter cold to-night,
The moon is cruel, and the wind
Is like a two-edged sword to smite.

God pity all the homeless ones,
The beggars pacing to and fro.
God pity all the poor to-night
Who walk the lamp-lit streets of snow.

My room is like a bit of June,
Warm and close-curtained fold on fold,
But somewhere, like a homeless child,
My heart is crying in the cold.

Sara Teasdale

六月茉莉满山香 挽花也得惜花欉
The June Jasmine is fragrant all over the mountains.
When picking the flowers, be careful with the bushes,
亲像蝴蝶乱乱弄 採过一欉仔伊都又一欉
Just like the butterflies messing up everything,
picking one bush then to another bush.

六月茉莉分六路 一欉较美搬落壼
The June Jasmine goes six different ways.
The prettier one ends up brought to the vase.
日时要挽有人顾 暝时要挽伊都人看无
During daytime there are people caring for the picked flowers.
It is hard to see at night.

Where Roads Are ~ Rabindranath Tagore

VI
WHERE roads are made I lose my way.
In the wide water, in the blue sky there is no line of a track.
The pathway is hidden by the birds' wings, by the star-fires, by the
flowers of the wayfaring seasons.
And I ask my heart if its blood carries the wisdom of the unseen way.

Rabindranath Tagore

I WOKE And Found His Letter ~ Rabindranath Tagore

IV
I WOKE and found his letter with the morning.
I do not know what it says, for I cannot read.
I shall leave the wise man alone with his books, I shall not trouble him,
for who knows if he can read what the letter says.
Let me hold it to my forehead and press it to my heart.
When the night grows still and stars come out one by one I will spread it
on my lap and stay silent.
The rustling leaves will read it aloud to me, the rushing stream will chant
it, and the seven wise stars will sing it to me from the sky.
I cannot find what I seek, I cannot understand what I would learn; but this
unread letter has lightened my burdens and turned my thoughts into songs.

Rabindranath Tagore

你瞞我瞞 ~ 陳柏宇

陳柏宇 你瞞我瞞
歌名： 你瞞我瞞
歌手： 陳柏宇
作曲： 陳光榮
填詞： 林夕
編曲： 陳光榮
監製： 陳光榮


約會像是為　分享到飽肚滋味
有任何難題　卻不提起
這若是浪漫　我怎麼覺得就快分離
你哭過　但眼影閃得更艷美

我是誰情人　你始終也是你
微笑靜默互望　笑比哭更可悲
就算怎開心皺著眉
儘管緊緊抱得穩你
兩臂 卻分得開我共你

無言的親親親　侵襲我心
仍寧願親口講你累得很
如除我以外在你心
還多出一個人　你瞞住我
我亦　瞞住我　太合襯

這就是談情　客氣得嚇著我
除了近來繁忙　我所知有幾多
若要哭不哭訴為何
大家爭吵鬥嘴好過
勝過　笑不出聲抱著我

無言的親親親　侵襲我心
仍寧願親口講你累得很
如除我以外在你心
還多出一個人　你瞞住我
我亦　瞞住我　太合襯

這麼 寂寞的戀愛算甚麼
用你指尖纏我　用熱吻逃避我

無言的親親親　侵襲我心
仍寧願親口講你累得很
如除我以外在你心
還多出一個人　你瞞住我
我亦　瞞住我　太合襯

Gather Ye Roses ~ Robert Louis Stevenson

Gather Ye Roses
Gather ye roses while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying;
A world where beauty fleets away
Is no world for denying.
Come lads and lasses, fall to play
Lose no more time in sighing

The very flowers you pluck to-day
To-morrow will be dying;
And all the flowers are crying,
And all the leaves have tongues to say,-
Gather ye roses while ye may.

Robert Stevenson

Have You Ever Been In Love ~ WestLife

Have You Ever Been In Love
In the morning light
Half awake and half asleep
Have you ever laid there thinking
Was it all a dream?
But you reach out and she's there
Every moment, everywhere
Have you ever been in love?

Have you ever felt
How far a heart can fall
Have you ever stayed up waiting
For a telephone call
Just to hear her say hello
Cause you miss each other so
Have you ever been in love?

Have there been times to laugh
And times you really want to cry
Finding reasons to believe her
cause you'd die a little if she lied
And when in times of doubt
Have you ever tried to work it out
But still she leaves you wondering
What it's all about

And when she's far away
Have you ever felt the need to stray
And tried and then discovered
It just doesn't pay
Cause with her, you can be true
And with her, you can be you
Have you ever been in love?

Have there been times to laugh
And times you really want to cry
Finding reasons to believe her
Cause you'd die a little if she lied
And when in times of doubt
Have you ever tried to work it out
But still she leaves you wondering
What its all about

And when the night comes down
Can you call your house a home
Do you dream you're still together
And wake up alone
Have you ever been in love
The way that I'm in love
Have you ever been in love?
Have you ever been in love?

XXXI~WHO Among You Will Take Up ~ Rabindranath Tagore

XXXI
"WHO among you will take up the duty of feeding the hungry?" Lord Buddha
asked his followers when famine raged at Shravasti.
Ratnâkar, the banker, hung his head and said, "Much more is needed than all my wealth to feed the hungry."
Jaysen, the chief of the King's army, said, "I would gladly give my life's
blood, but there is not enough food in my house."
Dharmapâal, who owned broad acres of land, said with a sigh, "The drought
demon has sucked my fields dry. I know not how to pay King's dues."
Then rose Supriyâ, the mendicant's daughter.
She bowed to all and meekly said, "I will feed the hungry."
"How!" they cried in surprise. "How can you hope to fulfil that vow?"
"I am the poorest of you all," said Supriyâ, "that is my strength. I have
my coffer and my store at each of your houses."

Rabindranath Tagore

幸~中島みゆき and 任賢齊~傷心太平洋

幸　~　中島みゆき
Now you're so sad that
Your tears have all dried up
And it seems like you'll
Never make a smiling face again, but...

"Once, that also happened to me."
One day you'll talk about it like that.
"Way back when, that also happened to me."
Surely, you'll talk about it laughing.
So today, don't fret.
Let it blow away in the wind of today!

Turning, turning, time is turning.
Joy, sadness, come and go.
Today, even the lovers who were parted,
Will be reborn and happen across each other!

People who continue their journey
will one day return to their home town.
Even if this evening they are falling,
they surely believe they can go out the door.
Even if today endless
cold rain is pouring down.

Returning, returning, time is returning.
Partings and meetings come and go.
Today, the travelers who fell,
Will be reborn and start to walk again!

Turning, turning, time is turning.
Partings and meetings come and go.
Today, the travelers who fell,
Will be reborn and start to walk again!

Turning, turning, time is turning.
Partings and meetings come and go.
Today, the travelers who fell,
Will be reborn and start to walk again!

Today, the travelers who fell,
Will be reborn and start to walk again!

Absence ~ Thomas William Heney

Absence
Ah, happy air that, rough or soft,
May kiss that face and stay;
And happy beams that from above
May choose to her their way;
And happy flowers that now and then
Touch lips more sweet than they!

But it were not so blest to be
Or light or air or rose;
Those dainty fingers tear and toss
The bloom that in them glows;
And come or go, both wind and ray
She heeds not, if she knows.

But if I come thy choice should be
Either to love or not --
For if I might I would not kiss
And then be all forgot;
And it were best thy love to lose
If love self-scorn begot.

Thomas William Heney

Remember ~ Christina Rossetti

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Christina Rossetti

Three Little Birds ~ Bob Marley

Bob Marley — Three Little Birds
"Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:")

Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:"

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. Don't worry!"
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing" - I won't worry!

Words ~ F.R. David

F.R. David - Words
Words, don't come easy to me
How can I find a way to make you see I Love You
Words don't come easy

Words, don't come easy to me
This is the only way for me to say I Love You
Words don't come easy

Well I'm just a music man
Melody's so far my best friend
But my words are coming out wrong and I
I reveal my heart to you and
Hope that you believe it's true cause

Words, don't come easy to me
How can I find a way to make you see I love You
Words don't come easy

This is just a simple song
That I've made for you on my own
There's no hidden meaning you know when I
When I say I love you honey
Please believe I really do cause

Words, don't come easy to me
How can I find a way to make you see I Love You
Words don't come easy

It isn't easy
Words don't come easy

Words, don't come easy to me
How can I find a way to make you see I Love You
Words don't come easy

Don't come easy to me
This is the only way for me to say I Love You
Words don't come easy

Words don't come easy

Meeting at Night ~ Robert Browning

Meeting at Night
The gray sea and the long black land;
And the yellow half-moon large and low;
And the startled little waves that leap
In fiery ringlets from their sleep,
As I gain the cove with pushing prow,
And quench its speed i’ the slushy sand.

Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;
Three fields to cross till a farm appears;
A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch
And blue spurt of a lighted match,
And a voice less loud, through its joys and fears,
Then the two hearts beating each to each!

Robert Browning

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 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)

Cant Help Faling Love ~ Andrea Bocelli

Andrea Bocelli-Cant Help Faling Love
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea

Until the sky falls down over me

hooohoooo hoooooo ye-eah

oh oh

loo loo loo doo hoo yeah, hoo yeah dooo

Brian McFadden - Everything But You

Brian McFadden - Everything But You
Since you left
Things have changed
I got all the things
I said would come my way
I got paid got accolades
Now you barely recognise the life I've made

I thought you wanted what I wanted
You left me
Left me wanting you

Now I've got nothing
I've got nothing
If I've got everything but you
We had something that I've been missing
Since I've got everything
Everything but you
Everything
Everything but you

You know I got so much
But nothing's worth enough
To put a price on us

I thought you wanted what I wanted
You left me
Left me wanting you

Now I've got nothing
I've got nothing
If I've got everything but you
We had something that I've been missing
Since I've got everything
Everything but you
Everything
Everything but you

You know I got so much
Nothing's worth enough
To put a price on us

XiX~Dost Thou Remember ~ Arthur Sherburne Hardy

XIX
  Dost thou remember, Dear, the day
  We met in those bare woods of May?
  Each had a secret unconfessed,
  Each sound a promise, in each nest.
  Young wings a-tremble for the air,—
  How we joined hands?—not knowing where
      The springs that touch set free
          Should find their sea.
  Speechless—so sure we were to share
      The unknown good to be.

Dear Heart (Andy Williams) & Ericesson Ad 金城武-易利信溝通篇

Dear Heart (Andy Williams)
Dear heart, wish you were here
to warm this night
My dear heart, it seems like a year
since you've been out of my sight

A single room, a table for one
It's a lonesome town all right

But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door
And dear heart, I want you to know
I'll leave your arms never more

A single room, a table for one
It's a lonesome town all right
But soon I'll kiss you hello
at our front door

And dear heart, I want you to know
I'll leave your arms never more
Never more......

All The World's A Stage ~ William Shakespeare

All The World's A Stage

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

William Shakespeare

Country Comfort~Rod Stewart

Rod Stewart - Country Comfort
Soon the pines will be falling everywhere
Village children always fighting for fair share
And the six-o-nine goes roarin' down the creek
As Parson Lee prepares his service for next week
I saw grandma yesterday down at the store
Well she's really lookin' fine for eighty-four
And she asked me if some time I'd fix the barn
Poor old girl, she needs a man down on the farm

Chorus:
And it's good old country comforts in my bones
Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known
Just an old fashioned feeling in my bones
Country comforts and the road that's going home

Down at the mill they've got a new machine
Foreman says it cuts manpower by fifteen
"Oh, but that ain't natural" old man Grayson says
'cause he's a horse-drawn man until his dying days

(Chorus)

XI: Fruit-Gathering ~ Rabindranath Tagore

XI
IT decks me only to mock me, this jewelled chain of mine.
It bruises me when on my neck, it strangles me when I struggle to tear it off.
It grips my throat, it chokes my singing.
Could I but offer it to your hand, my Lord, I would be saved.
Take it from me, and in exchange bind me to you with a garland, for I am
ashamed to stand before you with this jewelled chain on my neck.

From: Fruit-Gathering
By Rabindranath Tagore

Pink Floyd-Wish You Were Here (live)

Pink Floyd-Wish You Were Here (live)
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here

Leann Rimes and Brian Mcfadden - Everybody's Someone

Leann Rimes and Brian Mcfadden - Everybody's Someone
And every day begins the same
Get up, go out, come back again
Same old, same old

A thousand faces pass you by
You never look into their eyes

You feel so ordinary
They feel so ordinary

Hey
Everybody's someone
No matter where you come from
there's light in every single star
You're more than who you think you are
And hey
Everybody's someone
And when it's hard to hold on
Remember you are not alone
This house is everybody's home

And every day we seem to chase
The perfect smile, the perfect face
Same old, same old
Same old

For every one who gets to shine
A million more are left behind
They feel so ordinary
You feel so ordinary

Hey
Everybody's someone
No matter where you come from
there's light in every single star
You're more than who you think you are
And hey
Everybody's someone
And when it's hard to hold on
Remember you are not alone
This house is everybody's home

From a king to a common man
We're all part of a greater plan
Oh
There's light in every single star
You're more than who you think you are
Hey
Everybody's someone
When it's hard to hold on
Remember you are not alone
This house is everybody's home

Hey

Baby Can I Hold You~Tracy Chapman

Baby Can I Hold You~Tracy Chapman
Sorry
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like sorry like sorry

Forgive me
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like forgive me forgive me

But you can say baby
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
At the right time you'd be mine

I love you
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like I love you I love you

'O Sole Mio~Bryan Adams & Luciano Pavarotti

Bryan Adams & Luciano Pavarotti - 'O Sole Mio
English Translation
'O Sole Mio
What a wonderful thing a sunny day
The serene air after a thunderstorm
The fresh air, and a party is already going on…
What a wonderful thing a sunny day.

But another sun,
that’s brighter still
It’s my own sun
that’s in your face!
The sun, my own sun
It’s in your face!
It’s in your face!

When night comes and the sun has gone down,
I start feeling blue;
I’d stay below your window
When night comes and the sun has gone down.

But another sun,
that’s brighter still
It’s my own sun
that’s in your face!
The sun, my own sun
It’s in your face!
It’s in your face!

Neapolitan lyrics
Che bella cosa e' na jurnata 'e sole
n'aria serena doppo na tempesta!
Pe' ll'aria fresca pare già na festa
Che bella cosa e' na jurnata 'e sole
Ma n'atu sole,
cchiù bello, oje ne'
'O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
'O sole, 'o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
sta 'nfronte a te!
Quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne,
me vene quase 'na malincunia;
sotto 'a fenesta toia restarria
quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne.
Ma n'atu sole,
cchiù bello, oje ne'
'O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
'O sole, 'o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
sta 'nfronte a te!

TO WHAT SHALL I COMPARE HER?~Robert Stevenson

TO WHAT SHALL I COMPARE HER?
TO what shall I compare her,
That is as fair as she?
For she is fairer - fairer
Than the sea.
What shall be likened to her,
The sainted of my youth?
For she is truer - truer
Than the truth.

As the stars are from the sleeper,
Her heart is hid from me;
For she is deeper - deeper
Than the sea.
Yet in my dreams I view her
Flush rosy with new ruth -
Dreams! Ah, may these prove truer
Than the truth.

Robert Louis Stevenson

美麗的神話 -Endless Love (from the Movie: The Myth)

美麗的神話 (Endless Love~ From The Myth)

Release me from this mysterious waiting
The stars are falling; the wind is blowing.
Finally I can hold you in my arms.
Two hearts beating together.
Believe me that my heart is never-changing
Waiting a thousand years.
You have my promise.
Despite many bitter winters, I never let you go.

Close your eyes and tightly grab my hands.
Please recall the past - the days we were in love.
We loved each other too much,
It is sorrowful that we can't even say "I love you."

Every night my heart aches.
I never stopped thinking of you.
I am used to being alone for such a long time
And I face it with a smile.
Believe me, I choose to wait.
Even though it's painful, I won't leave.
Only your tenderness can save me from the endless cold.

Close your eyes and tightly grab my hands.
Please recall the past - the days we were in love.
We loved each other too much,
It is sorrowful that we can't even say "I love you."

Let love be a blossoming flower in our hearts.
We can pass through time, never bowing our heads,
And never giving up our dream.

We loved each other too much,
That is the source of our pain.
It is sorrowful that we can't even say "I love you."

Let love be a blossoming flower in our hearts.
We can pass through time, never bowing our heads,
And never giving up our dream.

We never forget our promise.
Only true love follows us as we pass through time.
We can't even say "I love you."

The love we have in our hearts is the only never-changing myth.


孫楠 & 韓紅 - 美麗的神話 -Endless Love

Go, Lovely Rose! ~ Edmund Waller

Go, Lovely Rose!
Go, lovely rose!
Tell her that wastes her time, and me,
That now she knows,
When I resemble her to thee,
How sweet and fair she seems to be.

Tell her that's young,
And shuns to have her graces spied,
That hadst thou sprung
In deserts where no men abide,
Thou must have uncommended died.

Small is the worth
Of beauty from the light retired:
Bid her come forth,
Suffer her self to be desired,
And not blush so to be admired.

Then die! that she
The common fate of all things rare
May read in thee
How small a part of time they share
That are so wondrous sweet, and fair!

Edmund Waller

No One Else - Lee Sung Chul
Even if I'm reborn a thousand more times
There wouldn't be another person like you Mm~
The person who would warm up my sad life
I'm grateful for that person
For that person, my heart could hurt indefinitely
Even if I can't tell that i love you, the fact that I'm
Able to look at you from a distance, give you everything and love you
Even if i'm sad, i'm happy

There is no other love in the world
That would make my chest shake with anticipation like this
my one love that i've hidden so far within my memories
For a person like you, i could endure
Painful tears indefinitely
Even if i can't tell that i love you, the fact that I'm
Able to look at you from a distance, give you everything and love you
Even if i'm sad, i'm happy
I don't want anything else except
Your laughter. with it, I'll be happy
Because love is all about giving, just about giving
So even if i'm sad, i'm happy

Before This Little Gift Was Come ~Robert Stevenson

This little guy brought us love and joy since December 15, 2008.

Before This Little Gift Was Come

BEFORE this little gift was come
The little owner had made haste for home;
And from the door of where the eternal dwell,
Looked back on human things and smiled farewell.
O may this grief remain the only one!
O may our house be still a garrison
Of smiling children, and for evermore
The tune of little feet be heard along the floor!

Robert Louis Stevenson

I'm Yours~Jason Mraz

"I'm Yours"~Jason Mraz

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
And now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment maybe sing with me
I love peaceful melody
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
My breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'ma saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find the sky is yours
Listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
A lá one big family (2nd time: A lá happy family; 3rd time: A lá peaceful melody)
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love love love

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

No please, don't complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

No please, don't hesitate
No more, no more
It cannot wait
The sky is yours!

Love Will Never Lie~ Michael Learns To Rock

Love Will Never Lie~ Michael Learns To Rock
Nothing can stop emotions
That run down the sides of your face
Wish i could change this moment to
Another time and place

Nothing you say can move me
I've chosen the road that I'm on
I have to join the fight for freedom
Until the war is won

We will keep the faith between us
If we only try
We will keep the truth inside us
love will never lie

Someone will always hear you
Care about you when you cry
But no one can hear my heart is breaking
As I say goodbye

We will keep the faith between us
If we only try
We will keep the truth inside us
Love will never lie

Thunder Cry~BaKoGi

Thunder Cry

The dream of my life,
I met you on the flight,
On the plane of my future dream,
You are my lovely queen.

How could I express myself?
You are THE only one,
Guide me through the starless nights.
I love you with all my heart.

Was it just a dream? I was drifting with the wind,
Dream of you, my precious love,
Yet, love was too far and high,
Like the chasing cloud to the moon.

Love was the moon, if I were the cloud,
Looming freely in the sky,
Trying to catch up with the moon,
Hear my thunder cry.

BaKoGi

I Knew I Loved You~Savage Garden

Savage Garden - I Knew I Loved You
Maybe it's intuition
but some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant
And there it goes,
I think I found my best friend
I know that it might sound
more than a little crazy
but I believe...

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only the sense of completion
And in your eyes, I see
the missing pieces I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound
more than a little crazy
but I believe...

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

Jon Bon Jovi & Pavarotti - Let it Rain
LET IT RAIN
(Jon Bon Jovi and Luciano Pavarotti, Modena, June 9th 1998)

Last night I had a dream that there would be a morning after
Long days, sunshine, and peace
Long nights of love, forgiveness, and laughter
Maybe it was just a dream but it could be reality
Children are like planting seeds, you’ve got to let their flowers grow
Don’t you know

Fà che piova, (Let it rain)
Fà che il cielo mi lavi il dolor (Let heaven wash away my pain)
Fà che piova (Let it rain)
che sia la pace il nome d'amor (That peace would be the name of love)

Through the rain I saw a child just like my child
Someone’s son or daughter
I watched as they played for a while
I wanted to cry, those babies just smiled
Maybe it was just a dream, but it should be reality
A child is just God’s sign that peace and love are seeds to make
tomorrow grow

Fà che piova, (Let it rain)
Fà che il cielo mi lavi il dolor (Let heaven wash away my pain)
Fà che piova (Let it rain)
che sia la pace il nome d'amor (That peace would be the name of love)

Go on, we’ve tried war
No one wants peace more
Than the children who ask their dads why

Fà che piova, (Let it rain)
Fà che il cielo mi lavi il dolor (Let heaven wash away my pain)
Fà che piova (Let it rain)
che sia la pace il nome d'amor (That peace would be the name of love)

やなわらばー 夢を見た~(KaWaRaNu-Yume wo Mita)

やなわらばー　夢を見た
I had a dream, it was a dream that you were gone

I was lonely, frustrated and treambling, I couldn't stop my tears
I looked up towards the sky and said "Can you hear me?"

I wanted to treat you much more gently, wanted to say that I love you so much it was unbearable
It would have been good if I had embraced you more
Whatever I think of now, it's already too late

Making each day precious, smiling every single moment
I wanted to feel like I was happy
It was a dream that felt like that

There was one thing I understood when I awoke
The vastness of your existence
Your gentleness, I wonder when did I start to feel it was for granted

I wonder how many times did I say I was busy
I wonder how many times I have made you feel loneliness
I will definitely not be able to forget the feeling I felt
Looking at your back filled with loneliness


Making each day precious, smiling every single moment
It's because I want to feel like I am happy
I am sending love for your sake

Hence now there is something I feel
Hance now there is something I can do
Being all alone with just the you who cannot be replaced
Let's live on forever and ever

Making each day precious, smiling every single moment
It's because I want to feel like I am happy
I am sending you love at any moment

Now, I want to be with you forever, the person who is right before my eyes
Beside the smile of the beloved you, forever and ever
It was a dream that felt like that

夢を見た

夢を見た　君がいなくなった夢だった

淋しくて　悔しくて　ふるえて　涙止まらなかった
空に向かって『聞こえてるの？』なんて言ったりしてた

もっと　優しくしてあげたかった　イヤになるくらい好きだと言って
もっと　抱きしめてあげればよかった　なんて思っても　もう遅くて...

毎日を大切にして　いつも笑顔でいてね
幸せだと感じてほしかった　そんな気持ちになった夢でした

目覚めて一つ分かったこと　君の存在の大きさ
君の優しささえ　いつの間にか　当たり前だと思っていたんだね

忙しいって　何度　言っただろう？　孤独な思いを何度させたろう
君の寂しげな背中を見て　感じた思いはきっと忘れない

毎日を大切にして　いつも笑顔でいてね
幸せだと感じてほしいから　君のために愛を送ろう

今だから感じることがある　今だから出来ることがある
かけがえのない君と二人で　ずっとずっと生きてゆこう

毎日を大切にして　いつも笑顔でいてね
幸せだと感じてほしいから　どんな時も愛を送ろう

今　目の前にいる君といつまでも一緒にいたい
愛する君の笑顔の側で　いつまでも　いつまででも
そんな気持ちになった夢でした

Kato Miliyah x Shimizu Shota – Love Forever

Lyrics: Miliyah, Shota Shimizu
Music: Miliyah, Shota Shimizu
*I’m glad that I met you
It hurts now but I’m glad
You were there for me on lonely nights
I’m glad that I met
The one and only you in the world
Our memories become stars that shine in the night sky

I was always alone, the door to my heart was broken
At night I was scared, I would huddle in fear in my room
I would scream into my sheets
There was nothing I could say

But I threw it all away without hesitation
And you loved me for who I was
You were always by my side
All I needed was to have you near

(Repeat*)

Alone by myself in the city at midnight
I act like nothing’s wrong even though I want to cry
When I think about the fight we just had
It makes me so frustrated

I needed time alone
Maybe we came to know each other a little too much
Since we couldn’t face each other like we used to
We decided to put a little distance between us, still…

(Repeat*)

I won’t run away anymore
I’ll promise you eternity here
In this destined moment
My heart screams out that it’s alive
Without you I’m worthless
There would be no meaning in life
You’re the only one in the entire world whom I’ll believe in

(Repeat*)

I’ll hold the piece of a dream
You gave me that day and never let it go
I know that a true love like this
Comes once in a lifetime
The world ended once I met you
I was searching for you, the one who would move my heart
Even if we can’t go back to the way we were that day
I’ll never let go

君に出会えてよかった
せつないけれどよかった
一人の夜もそばにいてくれた
世界にたったひとりの君に出会えてよかった
思い出は夜の空 星になり輝くよ

ずっと孤独だった 壊れた心のドア
夜に怯えた うずくまってた
シーツに顔あて叫んだ 言葉にならなかった

迷わず何もかも捨ててきた
こんな私を愛してくれた
いつも君はそばにいてくれた
君さえいれば それでよかった

君に出会えてよかった
せつないけれどよかった
一人の夜もそばにいてくれた
世界にたったひとりの君に出会えてよかった
思い出は夜の空 星になり輝くよ

深夜0時すぎの街に一人きり
泣きたいのに 強がってる
さっきの喧嘩思い出して
自分に苛立ってる

自分だけの時間が必要だった
少しお互...い知り過ぎたかな
昔のように向き合えないなら
距離を置こう そう決めたのに

君に出会えてよかった
せつないけれどよかった
一人の夜もそばにいてくれた
世界にたったひとりの君に出会えてよかった
思い出は夜の空 星になり輝くよ

永遠を君に
もう逃げないってここに誓うよ
運命の時に
心が生きてると叫ぶよ
君がいなければなんの価値もない
ここに生きる意味もない
世界中で一人君だけを信じてる

君に出会えてよかった
せつないけれどよかった
一人の夜もそばにいてくれた
世界にたったひとりの君に出会えてよかった
思い出は夜の空 星になり輝くよ

あの日君がくれた夢のカケラ
この手握り締めて離さない
君とこんなに本気になれた愛
二度とない

君と出会えて世界は変わった
心動かす君探していた
あの日の二人に戻れなくても
離せないよ

Read By Moonlight~Thomas Hardy

READ BY MOONLIGHT

I paused to read a letter of hers
By the moon’s cold shine,
Eyeing it in the tenderest way,
And edging it up to catch each ray
Upon her light-penned line.
I did not know what years would flow
Of her life’s span and mine
Ere I read another letter of hers
By the moon’s cold shine!

I chance now on the last of hers,
By the moon’s cold shine;
It is the one remaining page
Out of the many shallow and sage
Whereto she set her sign.
Who could foresee there were to be
Such letters of pain and pine
Ere I should read this last of hers
By the moon’s cold shine!

Thomas Hardy

Lost~Emily Dickinson

Lost

I lost a world the other day.
Has anybody found?
You'll know it by the row of stars
Around its forehead bound.

A rich man might not notice it;
Yet to my frugal eye
Of more esteem than ducats.
Oh, find it, sir, for me!

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

NO SORAN BUSHI ~ソーラン節

SAKAMOTO FUYUMI - FUYUMI NO SORAN BUSHI - ENKA
An excerpt from "Soran Bushi"
Japanese:
Yaren soran soran
Soran soran soran (hai hai!)
Oki de kamome no naku koe kikeba
Funanori kagyo wa yamerarenu choi

CHORUS (AKA - kakegoe)
Yasa e en ya sa dokkoisho
(a dokkoisho, dokkoisho!)

Yaren soran...
Oyaji tairyo da mukashi to chigau
toreta nishin wa ore no mono choi

Yaren soran...
Ichi-jo-go-shaku no ro o kogu fune mo
horeta anogo nya te mo choi

Yaren soran...
Tama no suhada ga shibuki ni nureya
uwaki kamomega mite sawagu choi

Rough English Translation:


Oh!!! Soran, soran, soran
soran, soran, soran. (Oh, yeah!)
When we hear the jabbering of seagulls on the high seas,
we know we can’t give up our fishing lives on the ocean.

CHORUS
Put your backs into it! Heave, ho! Heave, ho!
(Heave, ho! Heave, ho!)

Oh!!! Soran...
Boss, I tell you, the size of this catch of herring
is different from all the others. And it's all MINE.

Oh!!! Soran...
Even if I row four and a half metres,
I couldn't get that girl's attention.

Oh!!! Soran...
A flighty seagull twitters in excitement
As it sees my bare skin, glistening with ocean surf.

So-ran Bushi (ソーラン節) is one of the most famous traditional songs (min'yō) in Japan. It was originated by the fishermen of Hokkaidō, the north part of Japan.

So-ran Bushi accompanies the bon dance in many parts of Japan, and it has its own dancing styles that date back generations.

Recently, however, the So-ran dance was reimagined by a high school teacher leading his students. Under this direction, it gained a more modern, faster beat, and it was reinterpreted for a more modern setting. Students perform "Rock n' Soran Bushi" on their sports day. The latest Soran Bushi dance interpretation has more dynamic choreography and more modernized rhythm than its older counterpart.

The Beauty ~ Thomas Hardy

THE BEAUTY

O do not praise my beauty more,
In such word-wild degree,
And say I am one all eyes adore;
For these things harass me!

But do for ever softly say:
“From now unto the end
Come weal, come wanzing, come what may,
Dear, I will be your friend.”

I hate my beauty in the glass:
My beauty is not I:
I wear it: none cares whether, alas,
Its wearer live or die!

The inner I O care for, then,
Yea, me and what I am,
And shall be at the gray hour when
My cheek begins to clam.

Thomas Hardy

I SOMETIMES THINK~Thomas Hardy

“I SOMETIMES THINK”
(FOR F. E. H.)
I sometimes think as here I sit
Of things I have done,
Which seemed in doing not unfit
To face the sun:
Yet never a soul has paused a whit
On such - not one.

There was that eager strenuous press
To sow good seed;
There was that saving from distress
In the nick of need;
There were those words in the wilderness:
Who cared to heed?

Yet can this be full true, or no?
For one did care,
And, spiriting into my house, to, fro,
Like wind on the stair,
Cares still, heeds all, and will, even though
I may despair.

Thomas Hardy
