Sayonara Solitaire - Chiba Saeko (JAPANESE SONG COVER)
MY FIRST EVER JAPANESE SONG COVER!!!!!!!
If you're an anime fan, you have probably heard the anime "Chrono Crusade." Dude, for me, that was the OG anime for me! The storyline, the OST's, not to mention, the hot shirtless guys. 😭
But what captivated me most is this specific song. From what I've remembered, the anime got only one season. And throughout the season, this song is always its ending OST.
AND DAMN BOIIII. THE FEELS OF THE SONG, THE ANIMATED VIDEO MADE FOR IT, THE INSTRUMENTALS, FUCKKKKK. 😭
So I recommend you guys to DILIGENTLY listen with all your heart the flow of the song, and the instruments playing it. It really has that sad, hopeful, tragic romance kind of feels.
Here is the lyrics in its Japanese and English translations:
Original / Romaji Lyrics
daisuki to omou kara ne kizutsu ittari tomadottari
tsumetai hoho wo yose atte kokoro ga umareta
itsumo ima sugu ni aitai
mukuchi ni naruhodo suki yo yasashi sa doushitara mieru no
dakishimete motto tsuyoku atataka na mune wo shinjiru yo
sayonara solitia ashita he
chiisana watashi dakara zenbu demo tarinai yone
nanni mo kakusanai de anata ni agetai
mada shiroi yoake wo miokutte
konnani daiji na hito ni doushite meguri aetano to
itai hodo tsunagu yubi de sabishi sa kienu yume wo miru no
sayonara solitia
mou hitori jyanai kara ashita mezameru no anata to
daisuki na hito dakara ne sobani iru mamotteru
anata he tsunagaru daichi ni umerete yokatta
English Translation
It's because I love you so much that I hurt you, that I'm so confused
Coming close to your cold cheek, my soul was born
I always want to see you right away
I love you so much I can't speak, so how will you see my kindness?
Hold me tighter, I believe in your warm heart
Farewell, solitaire, to tomorrow
Because I'm so small, I give everything, but it's not enough
This hand, which can't hide anything at all, I want to give to you
We still have to see off the white dawn
Why was I able to run across someone this important?
Holding on to these fingers that they almost hurt, I see the dream that had disappeared into sadness
Farewell, solitaire
Because I'm no longer alone, tomorrow awakens, and I'm with you
Because I have someone whom I love so much, I'm here by your side, protecting you
I'm so glad that I was born on this earth that connects me to you
The translation or meaning of the songs depends on how you understand the lyrics, or how you like/want to interpret it.
Also! A little disclaimer.
If any Japanese person or Japanese speaking pro is listening to this, please, bear with me if I have pronounced some words wrongly! I'm up for a little coaching session with ya'll! 😭 (Oh, and I also only sang and recorded this on ONE take)
So hope you all like my cover! Sayonara! ~~~
