'Secret' romaji and translation

[masa]

Surechigau shoujo tachi mabushikute me o sorashita
Mujaki na mama no kodomo no you na
Jiyuu na hane o motte ita

Kurayami no mukou gawa hikari sasu basho o motome
Hitotsu nokotta tsubasa hirogete mo
Shinjitsu ni dake todokanai

Soko kara miru watashi no sugata wa
Donna huu ni utsutte imasu ka
Konna konna itsuwari darake no
Hibi o warai tobashite kudasai
Teokure ni naru sono mae ni

Tobu koto ni tsukarete mo hane orosu yuuki mo nai
Moshimo negai ga hitotsu kanau nara
Isso koko kara tsuredashite

* Ima mo koko de watashi wa kawarazu
Ibasho o zutto sagashite imasu
Douka douka anata ni dake wa
Kono omoi ga tsutawarimasu you ni
Hoshii mono nado hoka ni nai

Soko kara miru watashi no sugata wa
Donna huu ni utsutte imasu ka
Konna konna itsuwari darake no
Hibi o warai tobashite kudasai

* (repeat)
----------------------------------------
I turned my eyes away from the girls I passed by
Because they looked dazzling to me
They had the free wings like an innocent child

Even if I search for a light place over the darkness
Spreading the only wing left for me
I can't reach the truth alone

How am I looked
In your eyes from your place?
Please laugh away
These days of mine filled with false things
Before it's too late

Even when I get tired of flying, I don't even have courage to rest my wing
If I could have a wish come true
Take me away from here, please

* I'm still here and have been searching as before
For a place I can fit in
I heartily wish
This feeling could reach you at least
I want nothing else

How am I looked
In your eyes from your place?
Please laugh away
These days of mine filled with false things

* (repeat)

[Syphex]

what depressing lyrics.

Beautiful.

Might have been a mistake reading them while listening to kiss o' kill, but I'm not going to pause that song yet for a while, heh.

Thank you masa.

[Diego-kun]

They are wonderful!! I can't wait until my album copy arrive

[jkm444]

thanks! u are the best, the lyrics reminds me a little bit of endless sorrow since both of these songs has wings in it.

[Echiko]

Awww...this lyrics are so beautiful and fragile...

[HiruNoKaze]

I get the feeling that she's partially talking to Tomoya in many of her lyrics...

Well anyways, this is sorta proof that she hasn't become a full-of-herself-diva nowadays. Sigh...she's still so...Ayu.

Thanks masa!

[Key ~eternal tie~]

It feels so sad. It's like she can't find a place to belong to, and that she envies those with a simple life.

Ayu, keep your spirits up! Your lyrics are so beautiful.

[Axel_Grease]

Such touching lyrics.

[*hearT_Place*]

Oh, wow, these lyrics are beautiful! Thanks, masa!

I love when she uses reoccuring themes in her lyrics. The second chorus of "Moments" also talks about lending a wing to someone's wounded back.

[BraiNz]

Thank you very much, masa!!
Truly, amazing lyrics... no more words.

[AyuGAME]

thx for the translation

[ImpactBreaker]

Lyrics are quite recycled...I do love this part though:

"How am I looked
In your eyes from your place?
Please laugh away
These days of mine filled with false things"

[Larisa-chan]

"How am I looked
In your eyes from your place?
Please laugh away
These days of mine filled with false things"

That's really sad... it sounds like she's feeling like her life has become some kind of fake glamored-up doll's life. Well, it's true that people can still feel empty with a ton of money and material possessions. Still, I thought she was very happy and comfortable with her life right now. Maybe she's really aching for a "normal" life again. If that's the case, I wonder why she's still in the recording business >.> Hmmmmm

[yamogi]

How depressing it is...when i listen to the song looking at the lyric, i feel like crying.
I am actually overwhelming in which ayu is feeling, the sorrow of lacking in 'free wings' and 'a place to fit in' is very hard to bear...

BTW
I love the song and the lyric

[SunshineSlayer]

Wow, what awesome lyrics - that just bumped up the song a whole lot for me. I really hope this is a not a "goodbye" song though. I'd miss Ayu too much.

[Raleigh]

Beautiful lyrics with such a dark message. I love that factor.

[truehappiness]

So, could it be that Ayu isn't exactly 'the happy go lucky girl' that we think she is? Is that the Secret of this song?

I'm thinking it's because she is afraid to going back to being alone again as she was for most of her childhood and is afraid of becoming a "nobody" again. (I'm sure that wouldn't actually happen, but I bet that is what her mind fears.) Hence the lyrics: "Even when I get tired of flying
I don't even have courage to rest my wing" - I believe that is referring to her fast release pace and no matter how tired it made her in the past she was always too afraid to rest from it.

I never thought that, lol. Her lyrics are too often on the dark side for me to think that.
