Angela Aki- Kodoku No Kakera

By Naoko Kensaku

July 15, 2007

Japanese lyrics taken from here:

Tokei no hari ga niji wo sashite Konya mo nemurenu yoru ga kita Koi no hitotsu ushinatte mo douyou suru koto wa nakatta Ima made nara tame iki wo tsuite Kako ni fukitobashite ita

Aishikata ga wakara nai dake ja naku Hito wo shinjiru koto ga deki nai mama Tada jikan dake ga sugite yuku Watashi wo okizari ni shite

Kanashimi ga atte hitori ni natte Kodoku no kakera wo mune ni daite Anata ni deatte hajimete kiduita Shiawase ga aru koto wo

Ame ni nurete tatta ichido Futari ga musubareta ano yoru Kakaeta itami mo subete wasurete shoujiki ni naretanda

Tsugunau koto wa ima sara deki nai kedo Akirameru ni wa mada hayai ki ga suru Dekaketa kotoba wo nomikonde wa Mata anata ni se wo muketa

Yasashi sa ga atte nukumori ga atte Kodoku wa sukoshi zutsu tokete yuku no Uragiri ga atte sore demo shinjitai Shiawase ga aru koto wo

Tsuyogarazu anata ni tsutaeru kara Kondo wa kaera nai de

Kanashimi ga atte hitori ni natte Kodoku no kakera wo mune ni daite Namida wo nagashite jibun wo yurushite Kodoku no kakera wo tebanashitara Ashita wa waratte anata wo aishite Shiawase wo kanji you Shiawase ni nareru kara As usual, English and Romanji to follow when I find them. Wrong song earlier. 😛

ALSO! As a bonus, for a limited time only, Angela Aki’s latest encouraging single: Tashika Ni.

Found the English translation:

The clock’s hands points to two Tonight’s another sleepless night I didn’t stagger even when I lost one of my loves Till now, I’d let out a sigh And it’ll carry me to the past

Not only did I not understand how to love I couldn’t trust anyone as well With that I just let time pass me by And abandoning me behind

With sorrow I became alone Holding the fragments of solitude close to my heart After having met you, I realized for the first time That happiness exists

The one night we spent drenched in the rain Was enough to bind us together I forgot all the pain I held And became honest with myself

Although it is now too late for compensation I feel its still far too early to give up Swallowing those half spoken words I turned my back on you once again

With kindness, with warmth It slowly melts away my solitude Even with betrayal I wish to believe That happiness exists

Because I can tell you this without pretending to be strong Please don’t return this time

With sorrow I became alone Holding the fragments of solitude close to my heart With tears flowing, I forgave myself Letting go of those fragments of solitude I’ll laugh tomorrow, I’ll love you Let’s experience happiness Because we can become happy
