  • This is a song I really adore. But I can't really sing in Japanese or Mandarin (梁靜茹-小手拉大手) so I decided to write my very first English lyrics to this song! I hope you like it :D (I made a mistake in the second verse haha.. pardon me!) I was sort of imagining what it would be like to like someone.. when I wrote the lyrics. haha.
    if only i could be wherever you are
    if only i could know what's on your mind
    if only i could tell you what's on mine
    if only i could show you how i feel
    if only you would look my way just this once
    if only you would listen to my heart
    if only you could see the love in my eyes
    if only you would stay and be with me
    I've never ever felt this way before
    and now I only want to see you more
    oh baby would you take me by the hand
    together we could fly across the land
    dadadada
    dadadada
    you're shinning like the sun within my heart
    whatever I have been through
    I'll never feel blue
    for I am here with you
    dadadadada
    dadadaadada
    I'm singing like I've never sung before
    the world is so much brighter, and so much better
    for you have come along

    Heres the english translation for the song. You could try doing the song with the english translation, but it might not rhyme
    Close the forgotten eyes and retrieve the love song
    Reach out your hand hidden in the blue sky one more time
    Don't forget, soon I'll be by your side all the time
    Even when at dawn you gaze at the starry sky alone
    Don't let your only heart become darkened by sadness
    I'll change your sighs into the spring breeze
    I ride my bike fast up the sunny hill
    Carrying the memories I forgot with you
    Lalalalala, I hum, staining my lips
    The happiness I've found with you is like a flower
    Open the forgotten window; the love song starts to run
    Hold up the hand entrusted to the blue sky one more time
    I won't forget that soon you'll be by my side all the time
    Even on the tomorrows when wavering tears shine in the starry sky
    Embracing that lone word in my heart
    For your sake, I am now blown on by the spring breeze
    I ride my bike fast up the sunny hill
    Carrying the promise I made with you
    Lalalalala, I hum, staining my lips
    The happiness I've found with you is like a prayer
    I ride my bike fast up the sunny hill
    Carrying the promise I made with you
    Lalalalala, I hum, staining my lips
    The happiness I've found with you is like a prayer
    The happiness I've found with you is like a prayer

    I remember finding this when I was so young and fell in love w the song after watching the movie after finding it at the library. So I had a strong childhood connection to this.
    Then years later, I tributed it to my abuser... Now it makes me depressed and happy at the same time. It's a weird feeling and I wish I had never ruined this song for me because it's still so precious to me.
    I remember nights I'd cry to this song when I was still in the relationship. I hope I can fully heal and be happy n blissful listening to this again.

    • @anabellexxxx
      @anabellexxxx  2 роки тому +2

      Thank you for sharing your story-I wish I had replied earlier but better late than never, right? I think you should definitely reclaim this song, as in remove any association with this person because he obviously does not deserve it. More importantly, the love and magic come from within you. You also have the power to heal and be better than ever. Accept that you were young and naive, looking for love in the wrong places but also recognize that you’ve grown wiser. No one can take away the spark and the love that are already in you.
      When I wrote the lyrics, I had never been in love. I was having a mild crush on someone I knew and was imagining how it must feel to love or be in love. I think that’s partly how the words come off so pure (because I literally knew nothing of the struggle and heartbreak that come in the path of finding love). When I was in past relationships (that did not work out), I’d laugh at my young self who wrote this-so silly and unrealistic. But now that I’ve found my person… like a full circle, I appreciate my young self again because she wasn’t wrong about how joyous and simple it should feel when you are with the right person in the right time. I hope what I typed makes sense! You will find that person with whom you will have that feeling too, I’m sure of it!

      @@anabellexxxx You are so right. A year from now, I am not fully healed but I am long on my journey of healing and can now sing along to your lyrics happily and sweetly again. Except now when I sing with you, it's from a whole new perspective on love and life.
      I was about 11 or 12 when I first heard it, 21 going on 22 at the end of this year, I am once again hearing this song with joy in my heart like the first time I found it.
      I'm so happy you fully appreciate what you wrote, it's had an impact on me and my life. Good and bad ways, of my own volition. But, as you said, coming full circle. It brings me happiness hearing it, as I now know that such sweet words evoking emotions like this, could've never amounted to the person that hurt me.
      Also, I learned to play the original song on piano, but as I play it, I sing your lyrics. Thank you for such a beautiful and amazing song.
