- Made an English cover of Beyond the Time by TM Network from Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack. Hard to balance literal translation and lyrical flow with this one, but I feel like it worked.

Lyrics:
You belong to me
I will always hold you by my side
Hard to say goodbye
To the time we spent together
I belong to you
See the light inside come piercing through
Reaching from the heart
Knowing nothing lasts forever
We belong to Earth
To the star we used to call our home
Through the space debris
You can see it glowing faintly
Eyes are filled with tears
From the sorrows of so many years
All we came to love
Coming to an ending up above
Even if we fight to the last
There's no running from our past
Couldn't slip away from it all
Even if we tried
More than anyone or anything in the vastness of space
I want to see you look into my eyes with a smile on your face
Even if you change or feel estranged I could never forget
How you shine brightly inside of my heart
You can change your destiny
If you pass through the time
You can change your future
From the dark if you climb
We can share the happiness
If we don't look away
We will see tomorrow become a better day
Flowing like a stream
Through the endless realm we call a dream
Nothing as it seems
But we've got to keep on living
We belong to Earth
To the star we used to call our home
Even if we die
We will never ever be alone
Even if we fight to the last
No escaping from our past
Couldn't slip away from it all
Even if we fly
Beyond the time
More than anything or anyone in the vastness of space
I just wanted to believe in you and the smile on your face
Even if I change or feel estranged I could never forget
How you shine brightly inside of my heart
You can change your destiny
If you pass through the time
You can change your future
From the dark if you climb
We can share the happiness
That we're both dreaming of
When the world looks to the light of our love
You can change your destiny
If you pass through the time
You can change your future
From the dark if you climb
Ah
Will I ever see you again?
We've done everything that we can
Passing through the light of the stars
Going far beyond the time

In hindsight, I get the gay/bi appeal of Char and Amuro, but the ship does feel pretty one-sided. Char kinda knows what he's about, and Amuro's still sorting things out in the closet while Char's throwing more dirty laundry in there even faster.
If my first gay romantic experience at that age was Char Aznable, I'd probably bolt back in the closet and barricade the door.
Char's Counterattack for romantic comedy of the year, all years.
...HINK! ...HINK!
It's funny one of the best, if not the best rivalries in media is accompanied with this "love song". Don't get me wrong, the song is fantastic, in fact my all-time favourite gundam song. But the original lyrics doesn't match the interaction of those two.
@@Zuraditya You're not entirely wrong, I just enjoy the Charmuro memes regardless.
To be fair though, Tomino's gone on record as saying the implication was intentional, but given that his track record at writing realistic relationships for Gundam overall is a hot mess, who can say?
Basically, my stance is that it is and should be open to interpretation as much as any other fictional material, also Char seems like a crazy idiot that would cause a second ice age just to get his mancrush's attention. It honestly doesn't seem any more out of character than most other stuff he did in CCA.
... I just read the replies ...

By god, someone actually made a fantastic English cover. I thought it was impossible
En covers are always a hit or miss its rare to see one heavily change the lyrics to fit in the langauge
Amuro... If you can feel my presence right now... I'm about to record something extremely wicked
Genuinely was moved to tears. Being able to finally understand this song is something I’ve always dreamed. Your rendition is amazing. Thank you.
Thank you. The lyrics were liberally messed with a lot, but the CCA themes are very much there.
I think you did a wicked job covering the song and wrote the translation. Consider English & Japanese are to vastly different languages, it gets even more difficult to have a lyric that rhymes while retaining the context of the original version. Thank you for sharing the song and the downloads.
Human wisdom can go beyond these problems!
This is by far the best English cover of this song that I've found. While I'm a sucker for the original instrumentally, especially the saxophone, the instrumentation of this gives it a very 80s spacey feel, or like it belongs in a videogame. Lyrically, it's just as wonderful, and the only thing I'd change is put some captions on the screen so we can sing along.
This version legitimately moved me to tears, and it's probably my new favorite version of this Gundam classic.
Have you ever considered trying your hand at Meguri Ai (Encounter/Fateful Meeting)? Or perhaps Flying The Sky?
Thanks! And I have considered Flying in the Sky, but it'd definitely take some reworking to put it comfortably in my vocal range. Might be able to manage something like Trust You Forever though.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with. You have an amazing voice.
Just so you know, I plan to put this on Hi-Nu Gundam in Super Robot Wars from now on. You have been warned.
Go for it, I take this as a high compliment!
This is a surprisingly interesting translation and good cover.
Interesting cover that i stumbled across and i have to say, yours is excellent.
The flow feels natural and organic and the lyrics feels cohesive.
You, sir, did a great job.
You've definitely gone past Morris Day's band. I salute you.
Humanity isn’t just for show!
You deserve way more views! I was looking for a good version of Beyond the Time in english and now I have found it! You are right, it's very hard to adapt the song, but you made it work! Congratulations! Keep up the good work!
I've heard you sing many times, but this is the first time I've heard your voice. Well done. Brought a tear to my eye.
Thanksies! I tried going for a cleaner vocal tone without slathering it in reverb and stuff too hard for this one.
@@jettswole It sounds fine. Great even. I can actually great your intonation and enunciation in this song.
I like this version, it's 🔥.
This Nu Gundam isn't just for show!
where has this been for the entirety of youtube's existence
I honestly really love this English cover
Well done!!
This is 🔥
Chaaaar !

Is it ok if I use this for a video?
Bro nuts, go. (Yes)
I love the instrumental arrangement!
Can you provide us with the instrumental version too, if you may?
Sure, I'll put it up in the description in a minute.
Thank you so much!
F91とゴットとニューガンダムとサザビーが混ざってるな
