Hold Me Tight ~A Surreal Love~ (Dakishimete ~Surreal na Koi~)

Originally Sung by Keiko Utsumi
Track 3 on the album "L'arc~en~ciel"


Starry skies form a painting, dripping ink into the night
I can feel your warmth beside me, down this long highway
What is this feeling? Don't take me home, my darling
I lean in closer for a kiss...

Hold on, whispering secrets
that stay blue, I hear a soft melody
one that colours my heart a tender pink

Hold on, gone in the blink of an eye,
more than 3 years have passed by
I think I might run out of time
on this surreal kind of love

***

I'm awoken from my slumber by the rhythm of the sea
though romantic moonlight pours down, it's a lonely feeling
I just don't get it! You're always such a mystery
evaporating after dawn

Hold on, bringing me closer,
I'm still blue, now is the time
for my heart to grow strong,
though I know my tears still fall

Hold on, tying the strings of our fates
even though you're right beside me,
I feel like you're out of my reach
you're fading from my sight...

***

Hold on, I know it soon will be over,
so it spills out from inside
in a soft kind of melancholic sigh

Hold on, I know there's someone else,
another love you owe your heart to
But even so, I'll never give up
our surreal kind of love

[Outro]
Hold on, whispering secrets
that stay blue, hearing a soft melody
one that colours my heart a tender pink

Hold on, bringing me closer,
I'm still blue, now is the time
for my heart to grow strong,
though I know my tears still fall

crazy for you

Originally Sung by Marina Saito
Track from "Hajimaru Futari"


I can feel the gentle frolicking breeze
flowing through your vehicle window
"Isn't there anything you'd like to share?"
But I couldn't say it, I'm way too scared

Watching every passing scene,
I always feel there's something missing
Wanting to be with you as more than friends
so I'm feeling stuck again...

I can see it: we've just confessed
playfully I'm stealing a kiss
Every time I close my eyes, I see my dreams comin' true,
(When I close my eyes, I'll see my wildest dreams comin' true)
What am I to do?
I'm so in love with you, 
whoa-whoa!

You're the one I want to be my destiny! Whoa-oh-oh
Can't you feel the pounding thrill of my heartbeat?
Even more!
This is all that I can do, I'll sing for you!~
Do you love me too?
Oh, I wanna know before the summer's through...

***

Suddenly we're at the sunny beach,
ocean waves are surging and ebbing
Smelling the warmth within the summer air,
freely letting down your hair

With a jump, I'm running onto the sand
catching sunbeams in my hands
Glancing back, I see your gorgeous face,
I'm feeling kinda faint,
but I can't complain
So I've sealed my fate,
whoa oh!

I will never give up on my destiny! Whoa whoa oh
When I think of you, this moment's on repeat
Even more!
Words cannot convey the joy I feel with you,
do you feel it too? 
I can sense my courage yearning for the truth...

***

It's so strong and so bright
(the sun will shine)
and the ocean's tides
(sweep along the blue coastline)
Feeling like I've stopped the time
Oooh~ 
Crazy in love with you,
whoa oh!

You're the one I need to be my destiny! Whoa whoa oh
Can't you feel the pounding thrill of my heartbeat?
Evermore!
Til' you finally get a clue, I'll sing for you!~
Yeah, that's what I'll do!
With the little time before the summer's through,
I will let this melody ring out to you! <3

(Crazy, so crazy for you...)
(Oh I'm crazy, so crazy for you...)
