On ‘I Believe’ – My Sassy Girl

Posted by gmirage1 on Apr 14, 2008 in Songs | 4 comments

Remember the adorable and funny story of Gyeon-woo and the nameless girl in My Sassy Girl?

I happened to find it again in our movie archives and heard that song which does not only have a very heartwarming feel to it, I like the irony that they use this song for such a funny film (hehe). Here listen:

I believe
Sung by Shin Seung Hun

I believe geudae gyeote eob jiman
I daero i byeoreun ani gejyo
I believe na e ge u neun gireun
Jo geum meori dora or bbuni gejyo

Modu ri nagan geu gi eog sogeseo
Naega nareur a peuge ha myeo nun mureur mandeurjyo

Naman keum eurji anh gireur geudae maneun
Nunmur eobsi nar pyeonhage bonaeju gireur
Eonjenga dasi dora or geudae raneun

Gida reor ggeyo nan geudae yeoyaman hajyu

Nan geudae yeoyaman hajyu

On Hoshimura Mai’s ‘Sakura Biyori’

Posted by gmirage1 on Mar 26, 2008 in Songs | 4 comments

Another Bleach ending that I like.

Romaji Lyrics

juuroku de kimi to ai
hyakunen no koi wo shita ne
hirahira to maiochiru
sakura no hanabira no shita de

aitakute kakenuketa
hi no ataru kyuu na sakamichi ya
kouen no sumi futari no kage wa
ima mo kawaranu mama

kimi to boku to “sakura biyori”
kaze ni yurete maimodoru
marude nagai yume kara sameta you ni
miageta saki wa momo-iro no sora

suki deshita suki deshita
egao sakisometa kimi ga
boku dake ga shitte ita
migigawa yawarakana ibasho

sakura no shita no yakusoku
“rainen mo koko ni koyou” tte
nando mo tashikameatta kedo
ima mo hatasenu mama

kimi to boku to “sakura biyori”
kaze ni sotto yomigaeru
kimi mo ima dokoka de miteru no kanaa
ano hi to onaji momo-iro no sora

oikaketa hibi no naka ni
kizamareta ashiato wa
nani yori mo kakegae no nai takaramono

kimi to boku to “sakura biyori”
kaze ni yurete maimodoru
tomedonai omoi ga afuredashiten
amida ga komiageta

kimi to boku to “sakura biyori”
kaze ni yurete maimodoru
mada minu mirai wo mune ni daite
miageta saki wa momo-iro no sora

English Translation

I met you at sixteen
And we shared a love a hundred years old
Under the fluttering, dancing downpetals of the sakura tree

I wanted to meet you, so I ran on the steep hill road where sunlight lands
and in the corner of the park our two shadows are unchanging even now

You, and me, and the sakura weather
I sway in the wind and dance back again
As if I had just awoken from a long dream
I look up and see a pink sky

I was in love; I was in love with you as your smile began to blossom
I alone knew aboutthat soft place on your right side
The promise under the sakura tree of
“Let’s come here again next year”
We reaffirmed it to each other so many times but it remains unfulfilled even now

You, and me, and the sakura weather
I am gently revived by the wind
I wonder if now, you’re looking at it too,the same pink sky we saw that day
I chased after those days;the footprints engraved in them are the most irreplaceable treasure

You, and me, and the sakura weather
I sway in the wind and dance back again
My endless emotions overflowed out of meand tears filled my heart
You, and me, and the sakura weatherI sway in the wind and dance back again
Holding to my chest a future I can’t yet seeI look up and see a pink sky

Heart – Alone

Posted by gmirage1 on Feb 23, 2008 in Songs | 4 comments

I was browsing through YouTube earlier and saw the performance of Carly Smithson singing Alone for AI (American Idol). I ended up finding the originals behind the song, Ann and Nancy Wilson; Heart. This is the original version:

Then they had a concert in 2003, though their looks had changed, the powerful voice did not.

Here are the lyrics if you feel like singing =)

I hear the ticking of the clock
I’m lying here the room’s pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won’t end though
Alone

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

You don’t know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight
You don’t know how long I have waited
And I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
And my love for you is still unknown
Alone

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
Alone, alone.

On Kousuke Atari’s Tane Wo Maku Hibi

Posted by gmirage1 on Jan 22, 2008 in Songs | 2 comments

I just can’t get enough of Jap-singers… Here is another feel-good song, this time from Kousuke Atari. The title goes ‘Tane Wo Maku Hibi’ (種をまく日々) literally, Days When Seeds are Scattered.

This is the 13th ending theme for the anime Bleach.

Atari is just 3 days older than me, but he looks so young! =(

Romaji – Tane Wo Maku Hibi

itsumo no machi no, itsumo no fuukei ni
MONOKURO no kaze ga, fuite iru
kasuka ni kaoru, tamerai no KAKERA ni
kokoro no doko ka, yurete iru

dakedo itsu demo jibun no shinjite
kawaru jidai no naka, kawarazu ni iretara

tane wo maku hibi ga atte, mizu wo yaru hibi ga atte
itsuka mierunda, kibou to iu me ga
tsumazuita hibi ga atte, mae wo maku hibi ga atte
itsu ka mierunda, michinaru tsubomi ga
ima wa tada, me no mae no michi
yukkuri to susunde yuku

tooku, tooku, tsudzuite yuku
bokura no ikiru michi
kasanari atte, tsunagari atte
itsu ka wa ichimen ni, egao no hana ga saku

tane wo maku hibi ga atte, mizu wo yaru hibi ga atte
itsuka mierunda, bokura no mirai ga
tachidomaru hibi ga atte, kotae sagasu hi ga atte
itsuka waraunda, yasashiku waraunda
ima wa tada, me no mae no michi
bokura wa susunde yuku

English translation

The same scenery of the same street
The monochrome wind is blowing
Faintly fragrant, shards of hesitance
Is swaying somewhere in my heart

But I will always believe in myself
In the changing times, if I can remain unchanged

There are days to sow the seeds, there are days to give them water
Someday I’ll see it, the seeds called hope
There are days you stumble, there are days to move forward
Someday I’ll see it, the flower buds that will become a road
Someday I’ll see it, the road in front of my eyes
Slowly continues

Far away, far away, continuing
Our life’s road
There’s something to lie on, there’s something that connected
Someday it’ll bloom everywhere, the flower of a smiling face

There are days to sow the seeds, there are days to give them water
Someday I’ll see it, our future
There are days to stop, there are days to look for answers
Someday I’ll smile, smile gently
It’s just now, the road in front of my eyes
Slowly continues
