Beautiful Alone

Like the flames I lost you to, sadness overwhelms me, too
The rain sends shivers down my spine and seeps into my memory
Who was it that loves you so? Who was it that hates you so?
I gasp in pain- the memories begin to swirl inside my mind

Should I believe in what we did then?
And if I do, leave you behind and feel regret again?
Is this the way to say goodbye, love?
When you and I had promises yet to fulfil?
That kiss you placed upon my heart, there still remains a lonely mark
Can't seem to lose the memories of when we met in the dark
And as I sigh, I can feel you once again
But it fades just as fast as it began

Why are we born into this life?  Why do we die into the night?
It seems the only one who ever knows these things is the rain
Which takes my tears, keeps them oh so far at bay
Until love fades away

Gaze into the flames of blue, all my memories to view
The rain comes pouring down like stinging needles falling from the sky
Who was it that screamed in fear?  Who was it that dreamed in tears?
I hear the voices but the faces have been washed away for years

I fear there's nothing that I can do
Soaked by the rain I stand upon the concrete, sobbing now
It seems so long since I last held you
And even longer since the last time that you smiled...
This rain that hides my tears away, this rain that turns the world to gray
Those happy memories of you and I are slashed in the night
Fading so fast, as I watch them, helplessly
All my tears have begun to overflow

This rain that washes pain away, this rain that blows the flames away
And lets the dreamers dream of songs to sing, releases the life
And takes my tears, keeps them oh so far at bay
Until love fades away, until love fades away...

Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along,
Who’s gonna comfort me, and keep me strong?

And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore

Unmei no huneoko gi nami wa tsugi kara tsuki e to watashi-tachi o sou kedo
Sore mo suteki na tabi ne, dore mo suteki na tabi ne

No matter how much we consider the future,
No one can see the truth.
Something is blocking my blank mind,
It’s just a mistake that I’ve been repeating.

It’s okay for my steps to continue, these hands have separated.
Walking away from where you continue to live,
Until I become worn out I keep prolonging it
That time, that place, it will never disappear - this bond.

In time that flows, I try not to lose anything.
Passing by, we collided - true emotion
permeated my heart, into warm desires
The miracle I requested came about by chance.

Even when things couldn’t stand still, amidst the pain,
I saw the light, because we were bound together.
It’s okay if you lied, and it’s okay to cry
That time, that place, it will never disappear - this bond.

It’s okay for my steps to continue, these hands have separated.
Walking away from where you continue to live,
Until I become worn out I keep prolonging it
That time, that place, it will never disappear - this bond.

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others,
even to the dull and ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be
greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career
however humble;
it is a real possession in the
changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you
to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit
to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore, be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham,
drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

I Cry

Sometimes when I’m alone I Cry,
Cause I am on my own.
The tears I cry are bitter and warm,
They flow with life but take no form
I Cry because my heart is torn.
I find it difficult to carry on.
If I had an ear to confiding,
I would cry among my treasured friend,
but who do you know that stops that long,
to help another carry on.
The world moves fast and it would rather pass by.
Then to stop and see what makes one cry,
so painful and sad.
And sometimes…
I cry and no one cares about why.

Prince of Tennis National

i have watched the Prince of Tennis National Tournament Episode 1-3. There are additional characters to the bunch of bishounen!!! hehehe when the series ended, i thought: why did they cut it when it already the national tournament is going to start!!! hehehe in the series, we didn’t see Yukimura Seiichi (?), buchou of Rikkaidai, play. tezuka-buchou has only three major play: one official (vs atobe-buchou of hyotei where he suffered for his first defeat) and two unofficial (vs fuji and vs echizen where he got his second defeat).. i just hope i’ll see him play more!!!

but i’m sad. oishi drops out of the regular because he thinks ryoma deserves more to be on regulars. now, kikumaru-sempai will have to play Singles 2 in episode 4. uwaaahhh!!!!!! just a few weeks ago, me and my koibito were talking about kikumaru-sempai being in single. we thought that he doesn’t have the chance of winning because of his lack of stamina (eventhough he improved already in series). and he can do his acrobatics more in doubles because oishi is there to cover for him… and now!!!! uwaaaaahhhhhh!!!! but i’ve seen the preview for Episode 4: Kikumaru Alone. he is moving faster than he was in the series!!!

hehehe… i can’t wait to watch the whole tournament!!!

it’s been three weeks since the end of Princess Princess but i still want to hope that there’s a continuation… hehehe… naadik ako sa kanila eh… the story is simple:

three high school bishounen student who go around the campus cheering for the members of different clubs dressed as girls.

hahaha not much of the story but i really like it when touru and yuujirou teamed up to teased mikoto.

hehehe… there’s a released for Princess Princess D, the drama / live version of the anime. i saw the first half of the first episode and duh!!! and corny!!! i really like yuujirou and the actor who plays as yuujirou is not kawaii!!!!!!! shame!!!! yuujirou is pretty boy!!!! also for touru and mikoto!!!

sigh… anyway, maybe the drama will give some shounen ai thingy hehehe… but i’ll stick with shounen ai / yaoi anime hehehe…

The only words this town ever reflects
Are the ones with thorns
The people who come across each other run by
If I believe, it will probably break
The days when I just held on to uneasiness
If you were here
I wouldn't let you go

Chased around by the sound of the clock
I live today
By forgetting

As if to pile up our loneliness
We kiss
The scars that we damaged
Will tell of a beautiful parting
Surely only the seductive nights
Know love's shadow
I wander the flying moon
When forever ends
I'll gently be wrapped up in emptiness
If I had the wings of the swallow
That disappears into the sky...
Gently moistened by the quiet rain
Looking for something, and in exchange for that
I lose my love
As if to take care of our sadness
We hold it close
The memories that we built
Will describe our beautiful loneliness
As if to pile up our loneliness
We kiss
The scars that we damaged
Will tell of a beautiful parting

To every life, there’s always an end,
But I close my eyes, I still see your face; beautiful…
And I throw a rose as they now lower you down
But I still believe I’ll see you again
I wait for the day that I can once more hold you tight
Until then, I can’t cry this pain away
Until then, memories are all I have…

I close my eyes, I turn around, and go on my way
With the dream that somewhere out there, love, you wait for
me, too
And though I am alone again, I shed not a tear
How beautiful is my loneliness, how great is my pain…

This is the first translation of “Beautiful Alone”, ending song from Weiss Kreuz.  This translation came from <a href=”http://www.animelyrics.com”>animelyrics</a>.  But now, the site contains another translation and I think the latest version is the literal translation of the song.  Anyway, I like the first one. Actually, this is my favorite anime song.
