yeah the english lyrics...thanks

[walking proud]

The english lyrics are very disputed XD

[Chibi_Venus]

Yeah, whenever I sing forgiveness on my CD, I switch from both English lyrics that I've read.

[Love Appears]

But I wanted only keep my love
*Every cardinal sins
*Every immoral things
But I was holding on for my love

(*These two lines are often disputed. Some even say it's "Every promise is, Everyone forgives". There are so many variants. But nobody can really be sure, being that the English lyrics were never officially published.)

I once read in a post that the lyrics were similar to yours, Love Appears, but instead of "Every forgiveness" it was "Every moment lives". I'm actually unsure of the 'lives' part. It might've been a different word.

The lyrics are said to be "cardinal sins". Is it really 'sins' or is it possibly 'sings'?

Well, if you're thinking of cardinal as in the bird, I suppose "sings" would make better sense.

However, in the context of "cardinal sins", it may be referring to the definition of cardinal as in

1. Abbr. Card. Roman Catholic Church A high church official, ranking just below the pope, who has been appointed by a pope to membership in the College of Cardinals.

In other words, a holy member of the church.

The meaning of cardinal in this context is 'foremost, main, primary'.

I don't necessarily agree with this. Every "primary" sins? It'd make much more sense in the case of a member of the church. "Every cardinal sins". People aren't perfect, hence the concept of forgiveness. That's my opinion, anyway.

"cardinal sins" is a very common phrase and it means primary, fundamental sins. I believe that among Catholics (correct me if I'm mistaken) the cardinal sins are "Anger, Gluttony, Pride, Sloth, Envy, Greed and Lust". Please try searching for the phrase on google.

It does not mean sins committed by a Cardinal.

I stand corrected.
I feel pretty embarrassed now. I'd never heard of the phrase. I've heard it referred to as the "seven deadly sins", but not "cardinal sins". I guess Ayu is just well-versed. Thanks for pointing it out, though.

[sora-kara]

It could also be 'carnal sins'
carnal - Relating to the physical and especially sexual appetites.

That's always what I thought it was...

[Mad_Cactuar]

Isnt there a professional lyric on any official site? How about requesting it from AVEX? I think this topic has been going on for quite some time already.. I always mumble during that part, hehe..

[Qt Mashi]

^ yeah cant find any official lyrics of the ending, maybe ayu wants us to listen very very carefully and find out for ourselves

[Delirium-Zer0]

I could swear one of her TV performances of the song had the english part subtitled as well as the rest of the song... and it was the lyrics that Love Appears said above. I have no idea which live of the song it was though...

i've heard the same.

also, my friend said at the karaoke bar she goes to they had the english lyrics listed as the "cardinal sins, immoral deeds" line.

[Chibi_Venus]

Me too. In an earlier topic about this, I remember... gosh, who was it?... RAISKA, yes. I believe it was her saying she saw the lyrics on A museum. Yup, like Qt Mashi said: Ayu's making us think. *get out of my head! x_x*
