Passion/Sanctuary
So I sorta like the Japanese version of the KH2 theme song than the english...I really do like them both, but I'm still finding myself wanting to sing the Japanese version everywhere. Oh, and the english version is called Sanctuary.
Be the judge, which one do you think is better? Go ahead, download them and see for yourself! Passion or Sanctuary by Utada Hikaru. I'll post all the lyrics for each here, including the translation for the Japanese. Reasoning? Because lyrics are what complete the song and make it whole:
(P.S. - the lyrics in brackets are sung in reverse, yeah, backwards. It sounds really cool.)
Sanctuary
(English Version)
In you and I, there's a new land,
Angels in flight,
{I need more affection than you know}
My sanctuary, my sanctuary,
Where fears and lies melt away,
Music in time,
{I need more affection than you know}
What's left of me,
What's left of me now?
I watch you fast asleep,
All I fear means nothing,
In you and I, there's a new land,
Angels in flight,
{I need more affection than you know}
My sanctuary, my sanctuary,
Where fears and lies melt away,
Music in time,
{I need more affection than you know}
What's left of me,
What's left of me?
{So many ups and downs}
My heart's a battleground
{I need true emotions}
{I need more affection than you know}
{I need true emotions}
You show me how to see
That nothing is whole and nothing is broken,
In you and I there's a new land,
Angels in flight,
{I need more affection than you know}
My sanctuary, my sanctuary,
Where fears and lies melt away,
Music in time,
{I need more affection than you know}
What's left of me,
What's left of me now?
My fears, my lies..
Melt away
Passion
(Japanese version with translation indented underneath)
Omoidaseba haruka haruka
Mirai wa doko mademo kagayaiteta
Kirei na aozora no shita de
Bokura wa sukoshi dake obieteita
If I recall, far far away
The future was shining on everywhere
Beneath the beautiful blue sky
We were just a little afraid
Natsukashii iro ni
Mado ga somaru
The window will be tinted
A nostalgic color
Mae wo muitereba mata aemasu ka
Mirai wa doko edemo tsudzuiterunda
Ookina kanban no shita de
Jidai no utsuroi wo miteitai na
If we advance forth, can we ever meet again?
The future goes on to everywhere
Beneath the large signboard
I want to keep watching the eras changing
Hitoshirezu
My heart’s a battleground
(snoitome owt deen I)
(wonk uoy naht niotceffa erom deen I)
(snoitome owt deen I)
Hidden away
My heart’s a battleground
(snoitome owt deen I)
(wonk uoy naht niotceffa erom deen I)
(snoitome owt deen I)
Nido to aenu hito ni basho ni
Mado wo akeru
I will open a window
To the people and places I can’t see again
Omoidaseba haruka haruka
Mirai wa doko mademo kagayaiteta
Kirei na aozora no shita de
Bokura wa itsu mademo nemutteita
If I recall, far far away
The future was shining on everywhere
Beneath the beautiful blue sky
We were slumbering forever
(All my fears and all our lies)
(All my fears and all our lies)
Aozora no shita...
Beneath the blue sky...
Oh and I haven't made this entry friends only nor have I screened comments...I don't think it's needed.
Hopefully.
