[romaji & translation] BALLAD
 

Yume no tochuu de mezameta
Matsuge ga nurete ita
Oboete ta kotoba wa
Onegai ika nai de

Kesshite kawara nai no wa
Tsunotte iku kono omoi
Itsumo yuruga nai no wa
Uyamai shitau kimochi

* Kyou no yuuyakezora wa
Anata no you ni yasashiku te
Kondo wa yume ja nai to
Sakebi mashita ika nai de

Omoide wa kie nu tomo
Fue yuku koto mo naku
Yurusareru kotoba wa
Onegai soba ni ite

Kitto tsuyogari dake de wa
Mou koreijou mota nai
Osaekomareru dake de wa
Ai o naku se ya shi nai

** Koyoi no tsuki no akari wa
Anata no kureta michishirube
Too sugite sono se ga mou
Mie nai no soba ni ite

* (repeat)
** (repeat)

Ima dake wa nee yurushite
--------------------------------------------------
I woke up in the middle of a dream
My eyelashes were wet
The words I remembered are
"I beg you, please don't go"

This growing feeling for you
Never changes
My respect and adoration
Are always unshakable

* The red sky at sunset today
was tender like you
I shouted that it wasn't a dream this time
"Please don't go"

The memories don't disappear
But neither increase
The words I'm allowed to say are
"I beg you, please stay with me"

Maybe, I can no longer hold on
Just by pretending to be strong
My love can't be removed
Just by being held down

** The moonlight tonight
Is the guide you gave to me
Your back is too far and I can no longer see it
"Please stay with me"

* (repeat)
** (repeat)

"I beg you, please, just for now"

Thanks so much! i always look forward to your translations.

Thank you!! I was waiting for this!

Thank you very much!

Such beautiful lyrics..

I love the lyrics. :heart Just another way that BALLAD totally owns You were... haha Thanks!

thanks masa, it's so pretty T__T

Thanks again masa!!! :) Love ur translations!!

The lyrics, sadly, aren't that great this time :(

thank you masa! GORGEOUS lyrics *_*

Thanks :).

Thanks and beautiful lyrics but this part "Maybe, I can no more hold on" doesn't make sense, I suggest to change it to "Maybe, I can't hold on anymore" which would be the right way of putting it.

or "I can no longer hold on"?

thanks a loooot ^^

thanks ^-^ but yeah 'I can no more hold on' & 'I can no more see it' should be 'no longer' in proper english

kirei naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!~

gah...ayumi...too beautiful.

It's a really nice lyrics. Thanks a lot.

But I wonder of who she talk ? A man or just LOVE?

BALLAD's lyrics are slightly better than her latests ballads imo, I was sad while I read them.
Thanks a lot masa!

Thanks masa!

thank you <3

The music video was sad on its own (I will admit it, I cried), but now knowing the lyrics just makes it more understandable. Thank you masa!

Thanks Masa! *you know how impatient I was waiting out there for the lyrics and translation* :innocent
