My new favorite of Angela Aki, beautifully performed. I actually like the live version much better. Below I translated the lyrics at my best to keep the original meaning.

Translation Below:

If this is true love
then it’d be better if I choose to let the person I love be free
Even if I did so that he returns, it’s fate
If he doesn’t, it’s also fate

I, childish in your eyes
My ideas and dreams got shattered
from sadness turns to hopelessness
from hopelessness turns to bluff
And my words became “Goodbye”

There is just one melody
the sound of the world fades out
and only one song remains…
It was just one melody
as pride is thrown away
I can tell you “i’m sorry”
la la la…

I went back to the seashore
that I once walked together with you
My memory that spilled over into the opaque sea
got washed back ashore by the waves

I can’t get used to be alone
and even now I wonder what you are doing
My heart cares yet I can’t pick up the phone…
Perhaps it’s time to fall in love with someone else
but my heart just won’t budge

There is just one melody
even the laughter of the crowd
is drown out by this melody
It was just one melody
from the depth of my memory I recall
the sound of you calling my name
la la la…

Perhaps it’s time to fall in love with someone else
but my heart won’t budge

There is just one melody
the sound of the world fades out
and only one song remains…
It was just one melody
even the laughter of the crowd
is drown out by this melody
Just one melody
This song that will surely last forever
In the distance a bird that’s beating its wings
at the time when it returns once again
It will sing the phrase “I love you”
la la la…

If this is true love
then it’d be better if I choose to let the one i love be free
