Cherryblossom Color

Lyrics: Angela Aki Translation: Jonathan Wu

Along the river a row of
cherryblossom trees are blossoming
The two of us, living together,
walking this path together
And though this world may swallow me up
and spit me
I simply want to be by your side
Forever and ever

But alas, we were caught in the flow of time
and the loop of love, and one day you passed away

Oh my beloved, if I close my eyes
I can see the two of us, way back then
Oh the sight of you, colored by the cherryblossom
is something I will never, ever, forget

After parting with you
I started to understand myself
and my dreams got closer,
and closer within reach

Tough negative words crushed me at times
once the dust would settle, I’d continue the fight

Oh the pain! If I close my eyes
I can see how I was back then
But the image of myself, colored by the cherryblossom
is something I will never, ever, forget

Even now my home is gently
echoing throughout my heart
I can hear that song right now...

Oh my beloved, if I close my eyes
I can see the two of us, way back then
the sight of you, colored by the cherryblossom
the image of myself, colored by the cherryblossom
oh that time, of the cherryblossom color
I will never, ever, never
ever, forget

[Go Back]

Sakura-Iro notes:

This song is not a romantic love song, even though it could be interpreted as such. According to Angela herself, it is a song about her grandmother and how the time they spent together during her youth strengthened her.

Again

Lyrics: Angela Aki Translation: Jonathan Wu

The last words of my love keep on
ringing like a siren of regret

Because I kept my cowardly heart in check
I couldn’t tell you how I felt

Though you’re no longer near me, I want to be by your side
so I can look at your delighted expression as you
smile through your tears

Oh let my wish come true, come true, come true
Oh let me love you, love you, love
Let me turn to you just one more time
Oh let my wish come true, come true, come true

The time for reality and ideals comes and goes
as the pendulum of sentiment trembles

I don’t care if rains, or storms, or if the sky
is clear. I want to be there
walking besides you

Oh let my wish come true, come true, come true
Oh let me come back to you, come back to you, come back to you
Let me turn to you just one more time
Oh let my wish come true, come true, come true
You and I in love again,
you and me again

I want you to see my delighted expression as I
smile through the tears
Shake off the memories of the past
I don’t care if rains, or storms, or if the sky
is clear. I want to be there
walking besides you forever

Oh let my wish come true, come true, come true
Oh let me come back to you, come back to you, come back to you
let me love you, love you, love
Oh let our hearts be bound together, together, together
If I can turn to you one more time
My wish will come true, come true, come true

You and I in love again

TODAY

Lyrics: Angela Aki Translation: Jonathan Wu

My way of life may be ordinary, but it’s comfortable
because true happiness can be found in the most common things
Even if life seems to be stuck in the ordinary
it’s possible to find miracles within it

Somehow, love survives even though its form changes
so stop yourself from asking pointless questions, because...

Somehow, the days I spend with you beside me
always turn out to be wonderful
Crying with you, laughing with you,
those are Today’s blessings
Today

When I suddenly come across an old friend,
we laugh as we see how we’ve both changed

And as we part we say “See you later”
and wave at each other
knowing that “later” won’t
happen twice

Time flows, and flowers scatter their leaves
as everything around it changes
Walking next to you, living with you,
those are my Today’s blessings
Today

And on the last day, when I look
at all the “Todays” I’ve had
I will see that inside of them
the “Now”s continue to live on

Somehow, the days I spend with you beside me
always turn out to be wonderful
Crying with you, laughing with you,
those are Today’s blessings
Time flows, and flowers scatter their leaves
as everything around it changes
Walking next to you, living with you,
those are Today’s blessings
Today

I’m living this day like it’s no other day
the days I spend with you beside me...
I cry with you, I laugh with you...
Walking next to you, living with you...
those are Today’s blessings

Love Song

Lyrics: Angela Aki Translation: Jonathan Wu

It’s midnight and I’m sitting
in my hotel room, hugging my pillow
hiding behind my hair
from the lonely light of the stars

I’m sure anyone can easily say
that we parted for good reason
yet I am judged each day,
by reason and righteousness

And so I was driven out
of the Garden of Eden Ah

What the two of us left behind
is just a broken future,
and this song, this song about love
In this prison of time,
everything is burned down
as I sing this love song

Underneath these pure white sheets
a passionate promise was made
And underneath this bed I carefully hid
the realization of my sins

The morning light creeps in, illuminating my wounds...

There’s only one thing left
that I can offer you
and that’s this song, this song about love
Even if we try to find a compromise
it will be trampled by the shadows of despair
so I just sing this love song

And you left, as I was still asleep...

So I just sing this love song

What the two of us left behind
is just a broken future,
and this song, this song about love
In this prison of time,
everything is burned down
as I sing this love song
Tatoe dakyou ni owarete mo
Even if we try to find a compromise
it will be trampled by the shadows of despair
so I just sing this love song
I just sing this love song

I’m calling your name

Surely

Lyrics: Angela Aki Translation: Jonathan Wu

Surely, surely
surely there’s love! LALALALALA

I drag my body out of bed;
fatigued from the lack of sleep
Standing in front of the mirror,
I put on my make up, and a smile along with it

The sound of locking the door, the footsteps on the floor
every morning, it depresses me

Surely I’ll be hurt
Surely it’ll be painful
but even tho a day may come
when I can no longer speak or move
everytime I see the colors of the sunrise
my heart murmers: Surely there
is love here today! LALALALALA

Ever since the words of my friends pierced my heart,
I haven’t been able to look them in the eye

Somewhere along the line, I must have lost myself,
could I find myself again, or is it too late?

My dreams
My goals
how much time has gone by since I set them?
Suddenly a forgotten voice calls to my heart
Surely there
is love here today! LALALALALA

As I gulp down my cold coffee I make a decision
Today, I’ll say what’s on my mind!

Surely I’ll be hurt
Surely it’ll be painful
but even tho a day may come
when I can no longer speak or move
when I see the colors of the sunrise my heart murmers:
surely there is love
in you, and me, and everyone else!
Suddenly a forgotten voice calls to my heart
Surely there is love here, for me
for you, and everyone else! LALALALALA

Silent Girl

Lyrics: Angela Aki Translation: Jonathan Wu

Silent girl
What are you trying to say tonight
with those tired eyes of yours?
Even though you cut yourself off from love,
I don’t think you want to be alone.

Every night you make mistakes
and like an animal
you supress your conscience
As morning gets closer,
you let go of your criticism,
and fall asleep

Silent girl
Everything that has a beginning
has to have an end.
Even though that guy left you, isn’t it alright,
because you got back your freedom?

Even though they’re not always proud of it,
everyone has a past.
If you conceal it in your heart,
you’ll just take in more sadness.
Stop blaming yourself,
and forgive your heart.

Silent girl
Crying and sighing
will only make you worry more
Just wait, and if you want to
be loved once more
be loved once more
then open up your heart.

Silent girl

The Funeral of Morals

Lyrics: Angela Aki Translation: Jonathan Wu

The call of the owl is an omen of death,
and as the full moon appears, the darkness opens up the wounds.
The believers and the non-believers, even the priests
donned their mourning clothes as the wind whispers in their ears

“Tonight is the funeral of Morals”
Pater Noster(*)

The falling stars are the tears of the sky.
The weeping of the trees echoes in the forest.
The grief of the wind is reflected
on the water’s surface as it crosses the lake
calling everyone to the funeral site

Tonight is the funeral of Morals

Sitting at the front is Love,
and next to her is Philosophy;
sitting there smoking his tabacco, lost in thought.
Right behind him sit Pride and Devotion
lost in conversation, their faces full of sincerity

And none of them can hide their unrest
Pater Noster

The young Purity grasps the hand of Wisdom
while throwing a white rose into the coffin.
Sense sits down on her seat, rolling down her black veil
and after the ceremony is over, they slowly started this conversation:

“Suddenly, my son was taken away from me
throwing my heart into disarray.
He had a dignified voice,
and always looked straight ahead.
It’s something I’ll never forget.

Surely even now, he is like a lighthouse,
shining his light to guide us
when we are lost and astray,
when we can no longer see the road ahead.
He will live forever in your heart,
marking both good and evil and evil like a milestone.”

Pater Noster

With the nodding of their heads and the
clapping of their hands they show their sympathy.
And Truth whispers to Reason:

“I had a son as well, and even
though Hope is no longer with us,
he continues to live inside of us”

As the owl flies away and ceases its cries
the mist clears up, the sun appears in the sky

[Go Back]

The Funeral of Morals notes:

The Pater Noster is a Christian prayer that is usually recited at funerals.
The song itself can be a bit confusing. The idea behind it is that Love, Reason, Truth and all the other concepts are people, or rather, embodiments, who are attending the funeral of Morals. I capitalized their names so the song makes a bit more sense.

Young girl’s heart

Lyrics: Angela Aki Translation: Jonathan Wu

“Handle with care!” oh why
didn’t you come with that label?
You live your life
going against the norm with all you’ve got

Why are you always the one who doesn’t do what
she’s told, and then doesn’t explain yourself?
Because your free will is stronger than any weapon
you can stand tall, without fear

A young girl’s heart
gives, takes and collides
A young girl’s heart
picks you up, puts you down, and blooms

“It’s no use”
“It’s unavoidable”
even tho they’re your favorite phrases
the wings of happiness are growing
before your eyes, helping you fly

Why do you roll your eyes in silence, when
you have the chance to gain something important?
You skip over the one part of the story,
that could turn your tragedy into a comedy

A young girl’s heart
gives, takes and collides
A young girl’s heart
beats down and hurts, without shedding a tear

A young girl’s heart
gives, takes and collides
A young girl’s heart
picks you up, puts you down, and blooms

A young girl’s heart
gives, takes and collides
A young girl’s heart
beats down and hurts, without shedding a tear

One Melody

Lyrics: Angela Aki Translation: Jonathan Wu

If this is true love
it’d be okay to let go of the one I love
Then if he comes back, it’s fate
and if he doesn’t, it’s fate

I foolishy held on to you
and said one thing to you
my dreams and ideals were shattered
my sadness turned into hopelessness
and hopelessness turned into a facade
when I said “Goodbye” to you

There is just one melody
the sound of the world fades out
and one song lingered
and it was just one melody
it was the sound of me throwing
away my pride, telling you “I’m sorry”
La la la la la

All by myself I went back
to the beach we used to walk on together
the memories sinking into the water
as the waves crash

I couldn’t get used to be alone
and always wondered what you were doing
but I couldn’t pick up the phone to ask you
Maybe it’s time to move on, I thought,
and fall in love with someone else.
But my heart wouldn’t budge

There is just one melody
The laughter of the crowd could not
drown out the sound of this melody
it was just one melody
From the depths of my memories I can
hear the sound, of you calling out my name
La la la la la

Maybe it’s time to move on, I thought,
and fall in love with someone else.
But my heart wouldn’t budge

There is just one melody
the sound of the world fades out
and one song lingered
Just one melody
The laughter of the crowd could not
drown out the sound of this melody
Just one melody
Surely this song will last forever
In the distance a bird rises and descends
returning once more, to sing the song
called “I love you”
La la la la la

If this is true love it’d be okay to let go of the one I love...

Proof of our friendship

Lyrics: Angela Aki Translation: Jonathan Wu

“You’ll find hapiness on the other side of the glass.”
you say as you press your forehead against the window

How many people have given
their love
and then lost it,
while looking into those hollow eyes?

When you can’t find your way home,
when you’re tired of all the lies,
I’ll be here, waiting for you

Even though I can’t think of any
words that would help right now
I can offer you comforting silence.
Today just go ahead and rest those arms,
rest your heart, and sleep. When there are no answers,
we still have the proof of our friendship

And when you call me, and I can’t find the words to say
what I feel. You tell me “it’s alright”

and an hour later there you are, next to me
taping together the pictures I tore up

“Even when some day, romance has disppeared,
some day, you’ll be thankful for it.
Until that day, I’m here by your side.”

*As the seasons change,
the things we like, the people we like,
the place we live, even our lovers, may chance.
Even when time runs out, it won’t matter,
I won’t let our conversations end,
our overlapping love, is the proof of our friendship

*Repeat

In this song I present to you, the proof of our friendship

Kodoku no Kakera

Lyrics & Music: Angela Aki

Tokei no hari ga niji wo sashite
Konya mo nemurenu yoru ga kita
Koi no hitotsu ushinatte mo douyou suru koto wa nakatta
Ima made nara tame iki wo tsuite
Kako ni fukitobashite ita

Aishikata ga wakara nai dake ja naku
Hito wo shinjiru koto ga deki nai mama
Tada jikan dake ga sugite yuku
Watashi wo okizari ni shite

Kanashimi ga atte hitori ni natte
Kodoku no kakera wo mune ni daite
Anata ni deatte hajimete kiduita
Shiawase ga aru koto wo

Ame ni nurete tatta ichido
Futari ga musubareta ano yoru
Kakaeta itami mo subete wasurete shoujiki ni naretanda

Tsugunau koto wa ima sara deki nai kedo
Akirameru ni wa mada hayai ki ga suru
Dekaketa kotoba wo nomikonde wa
Mata anata ni se wo muketa

Yasashi sa ga atte nukumori ga atte
Kodoku wa sukoshi zutsu tokete yuku no
Uragiri ga atte sore demo shinjitai
Shiawase ga aru koto wo

Tsuyogarazu anata ni tsutaeru kara
Kondo wa kaera nai de

Kanashimi ga atte hitori ni natte
Kodoku no kakera wo mune ni daite
Namida wo nagashite jibun wo yurushite
Kodoku no kakera wo tebanashitara
Ashita wa waratte anata wo aishite
Shiawase wo kanji you
Shiawase ni nareru kara

Fragments of Loneliness

Lyrics: Angela Aki Translation: Jonathan Wu

The hands of the clock strike 2 o’clock
tonight’s another sleepless night
I lost my one love, but it didn’t upset me
so far, so I deeply sigh exhaling the past

It’s not that I didn’t understand the one I loved
I just couldn’t put faith in anyone around me
And time simply went on,
leaving me behind

When I became sad, when it was just me alone,
I would hold the fragments of loneliness close to my heart
And when I met you, I realised for the first time
that there is happiness for me

Just once, while I was soaking in the rain
I connected with you and forgot about pain,
forgot about everything, and I could finally be honest

Even though it’s too late to make up for things
I realise that it’s too early to give up
but as you turn your back to leave,
I swallow my words

When I felt your warmth, and received your kindness
the loneliness started to fade, little by little
Even though I’ve been betrayed, I want to believe
that there is happiness for me

I found the courage to tell you, that this time
you wouldn’t have to come back to me

When I became sad, when it was just me alone,
I would hold the fragments of loneliness close to my heart
As I shed my tears, and forgave myself
I let go of the fragments of loneliness
Tomorrow I will smile, and love you
I’ll feel the happiness
because there is happiness for me

Lyrics & Music: Angela Aki

Shinjite ita hito ni uragirareta koto

Hitori de nemuru heya ni wa
Kibou no kakera sae nokora nai

Donna kaiwa demo utagawa shiku omou
Jibun ga tokidoki taerare nai

Sonna toki
Kokoro de kanji, kokoro de kiite,
Yume no kotoba wo
Mune no naka de ikite iru yo
Dreams lives On&On&On

Aishite iru hito ni dakishimerareta koto
Anata wa ari masu ka?

Nukumori no tsutawara nai tsumetai ude no naka dewa
Futari no mirai nado sodata nai

KAATEN wo hiite akari mo sonzai mo keshite

Kokoro de kanji, kokoro de kiite,

On & On

Lyrics: Angela Aki Translation: Jonathan Wu

The people I believed in betrayed me
Were you one of them?

After everything was taken from me
I sat in my room, crying, all alone,
left only with the fragments of my hopes

No matter what people say to me, I can’t trust
them, and at times, it’s too hard for me to endure

And when that happens
I feel my heart, listen to my heart,
because inside it,
my hopes and dreams still live on
Dreams lives On&On&On

The people that loved me, held me close
Were you one of them?

As I lay in your icy arms, I feel no heat
and our future, I could not create

And as I close the curtain, the light fades along with
my existance, everyday life coming to an end

On that night
I felt my heart, listened to my heart,
because inside it,
my hope for live still lived on
Love lives On&On&On

Oh when the answer I seek won’t come to me
when I’m faced with a dead end
and I can’t see the future because of the past
Yeah Yeah

Oh when that happens
feel your heart, listen to your heart,
because inside it,
your hopes and dreams still live on
Dreams live On&On&On

Inside of you, it still lives on
Love lives On&On&On

Power of MUSIC

Lyrics & Music: Angela Aki

Tooku de dareka no yume ga uchikesareta
Chikaku de kimi ga me wo toji tsubuyaiteita

“Seijaku ni oowareta kodoku na hito-tachi ga
Ai no oto wo matte iru”

Kimi wa chotto shita kotoba de
Chotto shita shigusa de
Takusan no ai wo kanaderu
(It’s the power of music)
Kitto kimi no soba de saigo no saigo made
Uta wo utatte iru yo

Akarui mirai no kage ni muon no ima

Ibasho wo nakusu tabi
Chiisa na kono te wo nigirishimete kureru

Kimi wa chotto shita tsuyosa de
Chotto shita kimochi de
Takusan no ai wo kanaderu
(It’s the power of music)
Zutto kimi no soba de saigo no saigo made
Tashika na yume wo mite iru yo

Power of music

Kimi wa chotto shita kotoba de
Chotto shita shigusa de
Takusan no ai wo kanaderu

Kitto kimi no soba de saigo no saigo made
Uta wo utatte iru yo
(I hear the music)

Tashika na yume wo mite iru yo

Power of MUSIC

Lyrics: Angela Aki Translation: Jonathan Wu

Faraway, someone’s dream is being denied
you approach me and close your eyes, whispering

“Those lonely people, shrouded by silence,
are awaiting the sound of love”

I make music with the love in
the little words you say
the little things you do
(It’s the power of music)
With you by my side I can keep singing my song
untill the end of the end

Within silence, waits the shadow of a brighter future

When I was little, every time I lost my
direction, you’d grab my tiny hand and guide me

I make music with the love in
the little strength you show
the little feelings you display
(It’s the power of music)
With you by my side I can find certainty in my dreams
untill the end of the end

Power of music

I make music with the love in
the little words you say
the little things you do
(It’s the power of music)
With you by my side I can keep singing my song
untill the end of the end
(I hear the music)

I can find certainty in my dreams

Power of music
