VOCU [1988]
(Hold That Sky Close)
Koi ni ochita toki
koi o nakushita toki
namida miageteta
yureru buranko no sora
(When I fell in love,
when I lost my love,
I looked up in tears at the sky from
a swinging swing.)
Tsuyoku kogidaseba
ano sora ni todoite
aoku kagayaku to
hateshinaku shinjita
(I believed endlessly that if I swung out hard,
I'd reach that shining blue sky.)
Hold me again
toki wa watashi o mattanai
yobitomete mo sugite-yuku
kumo no you ni itsu no hi mo
(Hold me again.
Time does not wait for me.
Even if I call to it to stop,
it passes away like clouds, every day.)
Hold me again
sorezore ni nagasarete mo
watashi wa mou wasurenai
ano hi no sora kono mune ni daite
(Hold me again.
Even if we drift our respective ways,
I will never forget that day's sky;
I'll hold it in my heart.)
Sukoshi kyuukutsu-na
buranko de yurashita
sukina ano sora wa
hidoku chiisakatta
(Swaying in the swing,
which was a little narrow,
the sky I loved so much
it became awfully small)
Hold me again
toki ni oikosarete-yuku
sumikitta kokoro made mo
ubainagara itsu no hi mo
(Hold me again.
Time passes me by,
stealing even my serene heart, every day.)
Hold me again
donna ni kageridashite mo
ano hi no mabushii sora o
wasure wa shinai
kono mune ni daite
(Hold me again.
No matter how dark it gets,
I'll never forget that day's bright sky;
I'll hold it in my heart.)
Ano sora ni
(In that sky)
hold me again
