B'z - Mugon no Promise

[jeffycue]

i have B'z MONSTER album since mid of this year but never got to listen to each song carefully.. then when i was listening to Mugon no Promise i suddenly hear sometime that i COMPLETELY understood. the monologue part is in TAGALOG!!! hahahaha. i was in complete shock.. and now, literally NOW, it's on repeat. LoL.

here's the lyrics from Lyrics Book

monologue
Ang ulap ay laging nag-iiba ng itsura
May *masarap na *hangin na dumadaan
At ang lagi kong *inaalala ay IKAW

translation
The clouds are always changing their shape
There's a gentle wind that passes by
And I'm always worrying about YOU

my direct translation (coz the one above is a made to be dramatic, hehehe)
The clouds are always changing shape
There's a cool breeze that's passing by
And the person I'm always thinking of is YOU

** footnotes
masarap = literally means sweet.. so when used to describe something, the meaning changes to but with similar trait.
hangin = breeze, wind.
inaalala = could mean worrying or thinking, just a difference with how you say it. but it believe thinking is more approriate here.

********** am just going crazy with this song... lol.

whoa! that's really interesting...I wonder how they ended up doing that?

B'z are so cool Inaba does random other languages in songs sometimes... i read once that he writes alot of his lyrics in english first, THEN translates them into japanese. His way of practicing his english, i suppose

[jeffycue]

yeah. but it really surprised me that tagalog was used... i never heard of any tagalog monologue or inserts.. only from Black Eyed Peas... hehehe.

oh! i kinda forgot that MASARAP can also mean DELICIOUS.. i think that's the best word to use as translation instead of SWEET. hehehe.

do you know any other languages he used in their other songs?
