English

enter the scenery of love
lovers are in pain
they blame and pick on each other
you play melodies of love
forgotten phrases
tender and sweet

come a little bit closer
don’t stay in the shadows my boy
(la la la la la la la)
the melody’s fading…..
now or never, love will go

I’ll be there by your side
share your fears in the silent redemption
touch my lips, hold me tight
live in vanity for a while

as winter melts in the sun
boys will be out running and reaching for the light
oh mother please find me in that place
before the memories tear us into pieces

clinging to affection, we somehow do learn to live
(la la la la la la la)
in endless motion
never coming back, love will go

you’ll be there by my side
you may never know my devotion
feel my breath in the quiet night
live in vanity for ever

won’t you feel my gentle emotion
let us live in peace with conviction
if you’re here please hold me…..

  2. May in July Says:

    Oh Gosh, forever the live version of Kajiura’s songs are the best. Keiko! >o<

  3. Onin Says:

    The live version of FJ is my personal favorite, each singer gave their powerful performances. Wakana in her melodic solos, Yuriko Kaida in her harmonizations, Kaori in her ‘lalalalalalalalala’, and Keiko in her epic descant part. I really really love their version!

  4. Wigati Martina Says:

    I love Keiko part :)
