Btw, have you heard the word, "kachouhuugetsu"?
ka = hana (flower)
chou = tori (bird)
huu = kaze (wind)
getsu = tsuki (moon)
This word has been used as a pronoun of natural beauty in Japan. There have been many many traditional poems and pictures whose theme was hana, tori, kaze and tsuki. And in this lyrics, it's quite obvious that she was inspired by this word. But, as far as I know, there has never been such lyrics as "hana no you ni ..." "tori no you ni ..." "kaze no you ni ..." "tsuki no you ni ..." in the songs of other singers. In other words, she followed Japanese tradition of beauty, but added new arrangement to it. Excellent lyrics.

That ois just so I'm so amazed - it's beautiful and the song has another beautiful meaning O.O

I love it...

Thank You masa-san for the wonderful translation and this explanation

[Larisa-chan]

oh -- another suggestion: "if my life were as transient as a flower" may make a little more sense... since all life really is transient ^.^**

ayu's lyrics are ALWAYS good. Though I know I would just appreciate them so much more if I knew japanese.

Great lyrics^^......some parts need a lil tweaking tho..

Your heart began to burn, and there was a scent of it
It was the end of your dream, and the beginning of everything
What you adored looked beautiful to you
It became even brighter because you couldn't reach it

The broken pieces of your dream
Stays inside my heart
Leaving the pain
That I should never forget

* If my life were transient like a flower
I would be in full bloom by your side
And after watching your smile
I would fall alone, just quietly

How was the scenery you saw
When you were pushed into an abyss of despair

Your naked heart is wandering
Having nowhere to go
And is setting sharp thorns around
For fear of being touched

** If I could flutter like a bird
I would fly to you
And offer my wing
To your wounded back

* (repeat)
** (repeat)

If I could flow like a wind
I would reach you
If I could shine like a moon
I would keep shining on you

I'll be anything
If it can make you never be seized with fear

minor changes....but i hope it doesnt throw the meaning off..:-/..

wow thanx a bunch

Ayus songs seem to be alot about sad tragedies or somethin that points to em ...

[hanabinokisetsu]

This is a great lyrics, but can anyone come out with the Japanese lyrics (not in romanji)?

[kournikova]
