For Share

For some reason I really really love songs with damn good lyrics and simple tunes (but that's not saying that I'm giving up rock lol). Even piano solo and smooth vocal can create a song so soothing it could almost heal any wounds you have.


Garnet

by 奥華子 (Hanako Oku)


グランド駆けてく あなたの背中は
空に浮んだ 雲よりも自由で
ノートに並んだ 四角い文字さえ
全てを照らす光に見えた

好きと言う気持ちがわからなくて
二度とは戻らない この時間が
その意味をあたしに教えてくれた

あなたと過ごした日々を この胸に焼き付けよう
思いださなくても 大丈夫なように
いつか他の誰を好きになったとしても
あなたはずっと
特別で 大切で
またこの季節が巡ってく

初めて二人で 話した放課後
誰も知らない笑顔探していた
遠くであなたのはしゃいでる声に
なぜだか胸が痛くなったの
変わって行く事を 怖がってたの
ずっと友達のまま いれる気がした
終わってくものなどないと思った

果てしない時の中で あなたと出会えた事が
何よりもあたしを強くしてくれたね
夢中で駆ける明日にたどり着いたとしても
あなたはずっと
特別で 大切で
またこの季節がやって来る

いつまでも忘れないと あなたが言ってくれた夏
時が流れ 今ごろあたしは 涙がこぼれて来た

あなたと過ごした日々を この胸に焼き付けよう
思いださなくても 大丈夫なように
いつか他の誰を好きになったとしても
あなたはずっと
特別で 大切で
またこの季節が巡ってく


English Translation

You were running on the ground and your steps were
Quicker than the clouds in the sky
Even the childish letters you write in your notebook
Are the light that envelops everything

I couldn't understand the feeling of love,
But this time which may never return
Taught me the meaning

The days I spent with you are in my heart
So it's okay even if the memories fade
Though someday I may fall in love with someone else
You will always be special and precious to me
Even as the seasons change

When the two of us first spoke to each other
I searched for the smile you never showed anyone
You talked with a distant voice
I wonder why my heart hurt then

I was afraid of changing
I had the feeling which we could be friends
I never thought the end would come

That I met you in the vastness of time
Taught me to be strong more than anything else
Even as I run to the future
You will be always be special and precious to me
As the seasons change again

You told me you would never forget that summer
Time passes and now my tears are spilling

The days I spent with you are in my heart
So it's okay even if the memories fade
Though someday I may fall in love with someone else
You will always be special and precious to me
Even as the seasons change.

It's the ending theme song of "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" aka "Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo", which by the way, is an EXCELLENT anime movie.

P.S. The bold part of the lyric is touching.
