My obsession this summer was Studio Ghibli, Miyazaki and Joe Hisaishi.. and the song that tears me apart and makes me cry just because it is so darn perfect:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo_nVEWJ4Bcand translation I wound online:
The smile that trembles deep behind your tears
Is the promise of the world since the beginning of time
Even if I’m alone now, from our yesterdays
Today is born sparkling
Like the day when we first met
You’re not in my memories
You turn into a breeze and touch my cheeks
Even after our parting in the afternoon with the sun beaming through the trees
The promise of the world won’t ever end
Even if I’m alone now, tomorrow is limitless
You taught me about
The kindness that lurks in the night
You’re not in my memories
So live forever in the song of the streams
In the color of this sky, in the fragrance of flowers
Sekai no YakusokuVocals: Baisho Chieko
Namida no oku ni yuragu hohoemi wa
Toki no hajime kara no sekai no yakusoku
Ima wa hitori de mo futari no kinou kara
Kyou wa umare kirameku
Hajimete atta hi no you ni
Omoide no uchi ni anata wa inai
Soyokaze to natte hoho ni furete kuru
Komorebi no gogo no wakare no ato mo
Kesshite owaranai sekai no yakusoku
Ima wa hitori de mo ashita wa kagirinai
Anata ga oshiete kureta
Yoru ni hisomu yasashisa
Omoide no uchi ni anata wa inai
Seseragi no uta ni kono sora no iro ni
Hana no kaori ni itsu made mo ikite
