Prisoner of Love (translation)

With an indifferent face you tell a lie
Laughing until you feel sick
“Let’s have nothing but fun” you said

Feeling blue over desiring the impossible
Everyone is seeking tranquility
You’re struggling, but you’ve had enough
Now you’re chasing after a shadow of love

Since the day you appeared
My dull “everyday”s have begun to shine
Now I‘m able to think, “Feeling loneliness, being in pain - that’s not so bad”
I’m just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love


Through painful times and healthy times,
Stormy days and sunny days, let’s walk on together

I’m gonna tell you the truth
I chose an unforeseeably painful path
and you came to support me
You’re the only one I can call a friend

Fake displays of strength and avarice have become meaningless
I’ve been in love with you since that day
When I’m free, with time to spare, there’s no life in being alone
I’m just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Oh... Just a little more
Don’t you give up
Oh don’t ever abandon me
If the cruelty of reality tries to tear us apart
We’ll be drawn more closely to one another
Somehow, somehow, I have a feeling we’ll be able to stand firm
I’m just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Every day banalities quickly begin to shine brilliantly
You stole my heart that day
Loneliness and pain I thought I could deal with
I'm just a prisoner of love

Stay with me, stay with me
My baby, say you love me
Stay with me, stay with me
Don’t leave me alone again

On a day battered with unforgiving cold rain,
There sits a couple who have reasoned everything out
In a car that now relies on the radio to pierce the silence.

There is no meaning to goodbye,
Because if we were to meet again someday,
Wouldn’t that be just wonderful?

Were you able to hear my voice as I spoke?
The Heart Station broadcasting at one o’clock in the dead of night
Requires no tuning on the dial as it lies
On a secret frequency.*

Were the radio waves of my heart able to reach you?
It’s broadcasting from the Heart Station of sinners
And only God knows
How much I miss you.

I can’t go on without forgetting you,
That’s how it seems at least... But why is it then
That only all the good memories of us remain?

Without a doubt, though I’ve separated from you, you’re right here...
Right here at the centre of my heart.

I felt like I heard your voice back there,
Coming from the Heart Station that broadcasts at 1 in the night.
Wherever I am, there always seems to be
This beating of two pulses.

Were the radio signals of my heart able to get to you?
It broadcasts from the Heart Station of lovers,
And tonight’s requests also flood in with myriads of**
“I Love You”.

This voice of mine, were you able to hear it?
It’s broadcasting in the small hours of the night from that Heart Station...
Even now, we are still connected
On this secret frequency.

Were you able to receive these transmissions from my heart?
They come from the Heart Station of sinners
And only God knows.... this secret I keep.
happy

Clazziquai's "Prayers" from the album "Love Child of the Century"

I like probably 3/4 of the tracks in Clazziquai's latest album. My three favorite tracks are "Prayers," "Glory" and "Lover Boy" -- in any case, the nice thing about the song "Prayers" is that though the lyrics appeal to the spiritual, the tune is quite catchy that even if you're not quite a spiritual person, you'd find yourself humming and dancing to it. Christina's voice is lovely <33333

Kiss me - Japanese version

Kiss me
Mugiho no hodori
Nightly kusa na namima
Futari hane hiroge
Omekashi wo shite odorou

Oh, kiss me
Awai yamiyo ni lead me
Tsuki wo matteru yo
Hora gora un
Kaze ga utatte hoshi ga odori hajimeata
So, kiss me

Kiss me
Himitsu no shiro de
Swing me TAIYA no fune
Hana no boushi wo motte
Anata no papa no yume e




I recall seeing an album of Sixpence None the Richer with the Japanese version of Kiss Me. I think it was when JM and I met up in Megamall the other night.

Current fave song: Perfect by Bonnie Pink

I have been listening to J-pop and dance tracks lately. (Well, I have my days when I listen to alternative too but to perk me up in the mornings, I need my J-pop! In the afternoons, I need Hyde's voice... Bwahahaha!)

I am terrible with lyrics so I had to look it up online:

Perfect with mito (clammbon) & Oohata Osu
Reminiscence

I don’t want half hearted love affairs
I need someone who really cares
Life is too short to play silly games
I’ve promised myself I won’t do that again

It’s got to be perfect
It’s got to be worth it, yeah
Too many people take second best
But I won’t take anything less
It’s got to be, yeah, perfect

Young hearts are foolish, they make such mistakes
They’re much too eager to give their love away
Well, I have been foolish too many times
Now I’m determined, I’m gonna get it right

Collapse )

I like the way she sang that song. As well as the songs, "Private Laughter," "Chronic Vertigo" and "Private Laughter."
