Hard to Say I'm Sorry by Yuna Ito

I stumbled upon this video on YouTube, a cover of Chicago's "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" by Yuna Ito. I listened to her version and I loved it. I adore her even before and I adore her more after hearing her cover.

Everybody needs a little time away
I heard her say, from each other

Even lovers need a holiday

Far away from each other

Hold me now

It's hard for me to say I'm sorry

I just want you to stay

After all that we've been through

I will make it up to you

I promise to

And after all that's been said and done

You're just a part of me I can't let go

Couldn't stand to be kept away

Just for the day, from your body

Wouldn't want to be swept away

Far away from the one that I love

Hold me now

It's hard for me to say I'm sorry

I just want you to know

Hold me now

I really want to tell you I'm sorry

I could never let you go

After all that we've been through

I will make it up to you

I promise to

And after all that's been said and done

You're just a part of me I can't let go

And after all that we've been through

I will make it up to you

I promise to

You're going to be the lucky one

I'm Sorry!

English Translation

You and the end of summer and the dreams of the future 

And our big hope, I won't forget them. 

I believe that we will meet  

In August 10 years later. 

The best memories...

Our meeting was made in a moment at the intersection walking home. 

You called out to me, didn't you? "Let's go home together." 

While I embarrassedly hid my face with my bag, 

In truth, I was very, very happy.

Ah, the way the fireworks beautifully bloom in the sky is a bit lonely. 

Ah, the wind flows along with time.

So happy, having so much fun, we had so many adventures 

Inside the secret base that belonged to the two of us.

You and the end of summer and the dreams of the future 

And our big hope, I won't forget them. 

I believe that we will meet in August 10 years later. 

I knew that you screamed "Thank You" from the bottom of your heart till the very end. 

A goodbye when you hold back your tears and smile is lonely, isn't it. 

The best memories...

Ah, summer break will be over in a little longer too, so 

Ah, the sun and moon get along.

So sad, so lonely, we had so many fights 

Inside the secret base that belonged to the two of us.

I knew that you screamed "Thank You" 

From the bottom of your heart till the very end. 

A goodbye when you hold back your tears and smile is lonely, isn't it. 

The best memories...

There's nothing I can do about the sudden change of schools, 

So I'll write letters, I'll call you, so please don't forget about me 

Forever, inside the secret base that belonged to the two of us.

I was talking to you for so long at the end of summer 

After we watched the sunset, we gaze at the stars. 

I will never forget the teardrops that flowed down your cheeks. 

I'm sure I will never forget 

That you waved your hand with all your strength to the end. 

So let me be inside this dream like this for eternity...

You and the end of summer and the dreams of the future 

And our big hope, I won't forget them. 

I believe that we will meet in August 10 years later. 

I knew that you screamed "Thank You" from the bottom of your heart till the very end. 

A goodbye when you hold back your tears and smile is lonely isn't it. 

The best memories...

The best memories...

Endless Story (Male Version)

OMG! I just found a male version of this awesome song Endless Story by Yuna Ito in Youtube. I am kind of like listening to Ken Hirai's voice ..but actually he's not the one in the male version. The lyrics are the same but the song was beautifully sung! I am wondering who's behind the version, I'll be searching for him until I found out who.

On the other hand, Endless Story was the first single released by Yuna Ito. and at the end of 2005, was named the "Best Love Song of 2005" by the Oricon magazine. I first heard this song way back 2005 and been singing it all my life..got hooked and can't get over. Everytime I listen to the song, memories overflow my thoughts lol. If anyone knew who sung the male version please leave a comment onegaishimasu!

Here's a link to the original version: Endless Story by Yuna Ito

X Japan Lyrics - Tears

doko ni yukebaii anata to hanarete
ima wa sugisatta toki ni toi kakete
nagasugita yoru ni tabidachi wo yume mita
Ikoki no sora mitsumete kodoko wo dakishimete

* nagareru namida wo toki no kaze ni kasanete
owaranai anata no toiki wo kanjite

DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE

LONELINESS, YOUR SILENT WHISPER
FILLS A RIVER OF TEARS THROUGH THE NIGHT
MEMORY, YOU NEVER LET ME CRY
AND YOU, YOU NEVER SAID GOODBYE

SOMETIMES OUR TEARS BLINDED THE LOVE
WE LOST OUT DREAMS ALONG THE WAY
BUT I NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D TRADE YOUR SOUL TO THE FATES
NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D LEAVE ME ALONE

TIME THROUGH THE RAIN HAS SET ME FREE
SANDS OF TIME WILL KEEP YOUR MEMORY
LOVE EVERLASTING FADES AWAY
ALIVE WITHIN YOUR BEATLESS HEART

DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE

nagareru namida wo toki no kaze ni kasanete
owaranai kanashimi wo aoi-bara ni kaete

DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE

* repeat

DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE

if you could have told me everything
you would have found what love is
if you could have told me what was on your mind
I would have shown you the way

someday I'm gonna be older than you
I've never thought beyond that time
I've never imagined the pictures of that life
for now I will try to live for you and for me
I will try to live with love, with dreams
and forever with Tears

Note: I really need to blog about this song by Koji Tamaki. He's one of my faveorite Japanese Artist, very talented plus I admire the way he sung this song, so full of emotions. Whenever I listen to this music or watch his video, I can't help my self from crying. This song reminds me a lot of both good and not so good memories. I hope to make a cover o this song, female version.

Aitai (I Miss You) By:Sawada Chikako

Romaji:

Aitai...

English:

We passed the time together

Our desks lined up side by side

In a classroom with a view of the buildings

We learned a little English

Some basketball, and

I learned about love with you

Even after graduation

You treated me like a child

"Don't go to far," you said

Half laughingly, half straight faced

As you pulled me close

On a winter night when the clouds were low

Just like a dream

You died

This year we'll go to the beach

We'll see a lot of movies, too

You promised

You promised me

I miss you...

Walking along the beach

I suddenly give up and turn back

Walking alone on the shore

Unsure if I want to get angry

Or if I want to cry

Someone calls out to me and unthinkingly I stare

If it was you

If only it was you

You would grip my shoulders

And scold me for being stupid

You'd kiss me tenderly

Hold me and say it was all a lie

I miss you...

Tell me not to go far

Please don't leave me alone

Hold me tightly

Live by my side

This year we'll go to the beach

We'll see a lot of movies, too

You promised

You promised me

I miss you...

Note: I was looking for this song's lyrics and it's English translation good thing I found one in here

The very first time I heard my friend sung this song, I suddenly felt melancholic and I never knew why. I guess it was because of the very sad melody of the song. This song reminds me a lot of wonderful memories....memories I would forever and ever cherries.

If you haven’t changed your mind

Tsuyo garu kotonitsukareta no
Maboroshi sugitano everytime I think about you baby
Ima narai eru I miss you
It so hard to say I’m sorry

Memories of our time together

Kesanaide kono mama don’t go away

Owaranai story taemonai aishisade
Tell me why oshieteyo zutto eien ni

Tatoeba dare kano tame janaku anatano tameni

Owaranai story tsuzuku kono kagayakini
Always tsutaetai zutto eien ni

I So love this song, brings back a lot of memories..sigh
