Farewell to Tenderness (Yasashisa Sayonara)

 Originally Sung by Mari Ijima as Lynn Minmay
Insert Song for SDF Macross

Deep in my chest there's an ache, like a draft on a windy day
Although we fought and made many mistakes,
through it all, you gave me so much kindness and grace
That is why I had to leave you, I can't bear to see your face!

Without a word, I ran away then,
bolting from your empty room
Wandering through all the streets to the station stop; 
only then did I finally get it...

All of the kindness that you showed
wasn't weakness, but a strength that grows
It's been so long, so you changed, and I've done the same;
that is why I had to say goodbye...

***

Floating by in a haze is the boredom of these passing days,
feeling my heart drifting further away
Couldn't you see it? Everyday we were together was the same
Though I once used to love it, now it's something I hate

Once I am gone, is it different?
Sitting at home all alone by yourself?
Let this be a new page in the book of life;
this is it, I won't turn back to previous chapters

All of the kindness you gave,
I'll return it to where it came
Now that our past has been erased, it's a past we can't change
So I said: "Don't hold me back no longer..."

Cinderella (Macross)

Originally Sung by Mari Ijima as Lynn Minmay

Insert Song for SDF Macross and Macross Flashback 2012

Far above the castle walls, I heard the tower chime
Ringing out the current time, I knew that it was midnight

Anything you said to me was lost to that sound~
pushing you away from me, I whispered a goodbye

And like that, the Cinderella of fairy tales
had lost her chance at true love...
But no, she'll never quit,
in dreams she will persist
A never-ending chase, if only you would stay awake 
A never-ending chase, that lasts until the sun awakes...

Runner [TV Duet Ver.]

Insert Song for SDF Macross

[Male Voice] I've made up my mind, starting from tomorrow

No longer will I chase your shadow

[Minmay] People run on and on, forward to the future

Though their goals are always still unknown...

[Male Voice] What's beyond today is always a mystery

[Minmay] What tomorrow brings is always a secret

[Both] To the light that's shining bright, far, far from here

Although it's blinding me, someday I'll surely get there

Love Drifts Away (Ai wa Nagareru)

Originally Sung by Mari Ijima as Lynn Minmay

Insert Song from SDF Macross

Time will always flow on by, 
love will always grow, then die
You walk past like a ghost,
somber and solemnly slow

Aren't you going off to fight?
Tell me that you'll come back alive!

All the men in my town are marching,
step-by-step, they follow the beat
Their faces twist in a frown; they look ahead, never down
And their stomping boots are the only sound

Just like that, I'm left behind
left with no glory or pride.
"For the sake of the war"
justified with pretty words

Time will always flow on by,
love will always grow then die
Never knowing peace, at last I cry

*

Time will always flow on by,
love will always grow, then die
I stood, watching you go,
face as pale as winter snow

Once again I'm left behind,
why do people always fight?

All the women and kids are sighing,
wistfully they stare at the sky

So buckle up, weary soldiers, 
set your feet out of the door.
Til' you're back at home and safe once more

Generals and lords will say,
"Fight to live another day."
Is it worth the price you might pay?
"Only if the children are saved."

Time will always flow on by,
love will always grow, then die
I hope peace will come...
for everyone

Angel's Paints (Tenshi no Enogu)

Originally Sung by Mari Ijima as Lynn Minmay
Insert Song for SDF Macross: Do You Remember Love

Turning my eyes to the sky,
twilight settles down outside my window
Feeling the wind as it flows by,
breathing in the air, softly floating through my hair

Recalling the past makes me so sad,
staining my heart with a melancholic blue
"I'll be okay!"
if I can utilize the angel's paints;
they can take away my pain...

*

Memories dance in my mind,
recalling when we met, way back at that time
I felt safe within your arms, 
shielded from the storm, I was so blind to your love

Saying goodbye, just for a while!
"Sayonara", even though I'm sad, I smile...
"I love you!"
Lacking the courage to confess the truth,
once again I'm feeling blue

*

If I pretend that I can't see, 
Would I forget all the things that trouble me?
Looking forwards, where heaven's light will shine the way,
guide me to you, on that day! 

Recalling the past makes me so sad,
staining my heart with a melancholic blue
"I'll be okay!"
if I can utilize the angel's paints,
then my pain will fade away...

Silver Moon, Red Moon

Originally Sung by Mari Ijima as Lynn Minmay
Insert Song for SDF Macross

Bathed in the scarlet sun, warm at the café
The scent of Turkish coffee will melt my cares away
A sombre tango rhythm makes up the atmosphere
Yet because I'm all alone, something's missing here!

Though the dancing will flow like a breeze through my heart
I can't help but feel bored when we're far apart
You should be here by my side to match my every stride!

"Silver moon, ruby moon"
Why are you so cold to me, my Shanghai dandy?
The smoke from the Gitanes is floating carefree

***

In the darkness of the night, violins will cry
Raising up my empty glasses, I pour out the wine
I hide my passion deeply behind a fervent sigh 
without you here to give a toast, I feel so alone

Though my flames won't extinguish from tiny gusts of wind
I can't help but feel sad you won't take a hint
You should be here by my side to laugh as we dine!

"Silver moon, ruby moon"
Why are you so cold to me, my Shanghai dandy?
The smoke from the Gitanes is floating carefree

0-G Love

0-G Love 0-G Love
0-G Love 0-G Love

On the way back from school, like any other day
At the place we'd part, go our separate ways,
He turned around to me, the streets were empty
he placed his hands on my cheeks and kissed me

How could he? So suddenly! So I pouted my cheeks,
Although I pretended otherwise,
My head went oh-so dizzy, my heart was freely-floating!

0-G Love 0-G Love
4-3-2-1 0-G Love
And I feel as light as a feather, I'm being carried a~way!

(0-G Love 0-G Love)

Remember,
The roar of silver wings dancing in the sky
Xiao Bai Long! Xiao Bai Long! [pronounced: syao bai lohng] 

Remember, 
The darkness surrendering to burning eyes 
Xiao Bai Long! Xiao Bai Long!

The man who saved us all was a kind and charming fighter
He's the evil's slayer! Slayer! Slayer!

Xiao Bai Long! The one true Messiah
Keeper of our hopes and dreams, our Messiah!
Xiao Bai Long!

SUNSET BEACH

Originally Sung by Mari Ijima as Lynn Minmay

Insert Song for SDF Macross: Do You Remember Love

Now that boy will start to walk
and I know I'll follow
I'm trailing right behind in his footprints
on the sandy beach, together in the sunset

Now I'm letting out a sigh
since he won't confess
But even so, I can't help but love him,
I'm always by his side at Sunset Beach!

The ocean breeze will make big waves~
And now I'm sure that he's the one 

who will live inside my heart!

In just one jump, he makes a splash, and he starts to laugh
Surfing on 'till the sun's a pendant
Sunset Beach will glow in the afternoon...

***

Now he's carrying the surfboard
balanced on his head
His face is smug without me beside him
Showing off his tan to all the girls around him...

Now the pendant that I gave him
is switched out for another

I can't believe my eyes, I've been abandoned

so now I'm all alone at Sunset Beach

The ocean breeze will stop at twilight

But still there's heat upon the beach, simmering beneath my feet

I'm giving up that awful guy, I won't waste my time!

So instead I'll pursue the lovely you

Sunset Beach awaits you within your dreams...

Zoom, zoom! Zoom, zoom!
Did you know my boyfriend is a pilot?

You can see him within his plane now,
Swooping down to leave a contrail, Wow!
The sun is sparkling brightly, chasing away the clouds!

It's soaring high, my heart will fly,
singing out this song for two
The blueness within the sky,
it's a Love Sign!

I love you, you love me?
Although I tell him each day, still he doesn't say
Somehow I think loves me less than his fighter jet...

Zoom, zoom! Zoom, zoom!
You now know my boyfriend is a pilot!

*

Zoom, zoom! Zoom, zoom!
Did you know my boyfriend is a pilot?

Once again, I am all alone here
Looking up, I'm hoping that he's near
The clouds are fluffy as they float in the atmosphere

So gently, I'm carried,
high into the sky, I fly
My boyfriend is gliding,
only him and I!

I love you, you love me?
Although I beg him to stay, still he flies away
And now I'm sure he loves me less than his fighter jet

Zoom, zoom! Zoom, zoom!
You now know my boyfriend is a pilot!

Title Song for SDF Macross: Do You Remember Love?

Song Guide: Do You Remember Love? -English Cover-

Now and then I swear I'll hear you calling out for me,
saying "Darling, come here"
Just as I'm weakened, I can feel you drawing near
Now and then I swear I'll see you walking next to me,
your strides matching mine
So I'll keep waiting; until you're here, I'll close my eyes

'Til yesterday, melancholy had filled my heart
But now my tears are gone...

Do you still remember that time?
When my eyes met yours and yours mine
Do you still remember that time?
When your hand was enclosed within mine?
That is when our love had begun,
And my heart was saying you were the one,
I love you so...

*

Right now, I swear your gaze is burning oh so bright,
though you're not by my side
And in my soul's light, I can feel a spark ignite
Right now, I'll put my trust into you
I know that it's true
So can you watch me? As I sing out this song for two

'Til yesterday, all the world was blue in my heart
But now I'm seeing stars...

Do you still remember that time?
When my eyes met yours and yours mine
Do you still remember that time?
When your hand was enclosed within mine?
That is when our love had begun,
And my heart was saying you were the one,
I love you so...

*

Now that I see you're right here by me,
Now that I know, I'm not alone...

Do you still remember that time?
When my eyes met yours and yours mine
Do you still remember that time?
When your hand was enclosed within mine?
That is when our love had begun,
And my heart is saying you are the one,
I love you so...

Now that I see you're right here by me,
Now that I know, I'm not alone...
