'CAROLS' translation

Here is my translation.


Do you remember the first day we met even now?
You looked abashed, hanging your head
And turning your eyes away

I wonder when such a manner became so dear to me
It makes me feel a little nostalgic
Don't you feel so?

Many seasons have passed by
With quick steps since then

(*) When the white snow colors the city
Let me stay by your side
Though I may bother you
Again and again

We talked overnight about our future and the moments
I felt they were so dazzling
And precious

Tears welled up in my eyes
When I thought it would be nice
That I could forgive my past some day

(**) When the white snow melts
And the city becomes vivid and colorful
I like to keep you closest
To my heart

The days we couldn't understand each other and parted
The days of tears, the days of smiling faces
Whatever may happen and whatever mood you may be in
I'll always accept you

(*) repeat

(**) repeat

Thanks ALOT masa!!!

I don't think the lyrics are that good... I thought the lyrics of Moments, INSPIRE, and GAME were all better than this... The lyrics are weak.

Simplistic lyrics like these do suit her ballads. Understanding them makes me appreciate the song even more, so thank-you for your translation.

Thank you Masa-sama!!!

yes, these lyrics are nothing original at all. They're very sweet and I'm sure a lot of people can relate to them, but they do seem recycled. Ayu needs to sing about something new for a change =/

Thanks for arranging my post as an independent thread. And yes, there was a small mistake. Please change "hunging" to "hanging".

Sankyu masa-san! As always you don't leave me disappointed! YOUR LYRICS ROCK! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I love these lyrics... ane the song itself is beautiful... I can't help but think of the song as a mix of two oder Ayu songs that I really love - "forgiveness" (the music - violin etc.) and "No way to say" (the "winter time mood")... beautiful Ayu song! A MUST HAVE SINGLE!
