"And the soul afraid of dying // That never learns to live..." (c)

Снова-таки, для повышения настроения. :-)



Harumi Miyako

"Ai wa Hana, Kimi wa Sono Tane"

"Love is a Flower, You are the Seed"

from Ghibli's "Omohide Poro-Poro" ["Only Yesterday..."]

original lyrics and music: Amanda McBroom

lyric's translation: Isao Takahata

Yasashisa o oshinagasu Ai sore wa kawa Tamashii o kirisaku Ai sore wa NAIFU Tomedonai kawaki ga Ai da to iu keredo Ai wa hana inochi no hana Kimi wa sono tane

Washing away tenderness, love, it's a river. Cutting the soul to pieces, love, it's a knife. An incessant thirst, love is, they say, but love is a flower, the flower of life; you are the seed.

Kujikeru no o osorete Odoranai kimi no kokoro Sameru no o osorete CHANSU nogasu kimi no yume Ubawareru no ga iyasa ni Ataenai kokoro Shinu no o osorete Ikiru koto ga dekinai

Afraid of being discouraged, your heart never dances. Afraid of waking up, your dream never takes chances. Hating to be taken away your heart won't give. Afraid of dying, you cannot live.

Nagai yoru tada hitori Tooi michi tada hitori Ai nante kiyashinai Sou omou toki ni wa Omoidashite goran fuyu Yuki ni umorete-ite mo Tane wa haru ohi-sama no Ai de hana hiraku

Long night, all alone; long road, all alone. Love doesn't come when you think it will; please remember, though it's buried under the snow in winter, in spring, with the sun's love, the seed blossoms into a flower.

(А здесь лежит оригинал)

Оригинал, оказывается, в своё время был весьма популярен, до первых строчек чартов доходил.



"the Rose"

words & music: Amanda McBroom



Some say love, it is a river

That drowns the tender reed.

Some say love, it is a razor

That leaves the soul to bleed.

Some say love, it is a hunger,

An endless, aching need.

I say love, it is a flower,

And you, its only seed.



It's the heart afraid of breaking

That never learns to dance.

It's the dream afraid of waking

That never takes the chance.

It's the one who won't be taken

Who cannot seem to give,

And the soul afraid of dying

That never learns to live.



When the night has been too lonely,

And the road has been too long,

And you think that love is only

For the lucky and the strong,

Just remember, in the winter,

Far beneath the bitter snow,

Lies the seed that with the sun's love,

In the spring, becomes the rose.

Серж, а у тебя оригинал есть? )

Нету.

Хотя в исполнении Westlife я его точно в телевизере слышал. Потом долго удивлялся, что буржуи уже из анимешек песни тянут.))))
