Sakamoto Maaya – Mameshiba¹

Lyrics: Sakamoto Maaya
Music: Kanno Yoko

Yesterday’s rain dropped cold stars on the east side of town
Sad and alone, you quietly sang
That song I love to yourself

I have to go
No one will help him as he wanders in the deep darkness
All I need is my love and I can race straight ahead to where he is
So call out my name in a loud voice for as long as it takes

As the lonely scenery passes by
It turns into the strength to run firmly on the ground

I had shut the door stubbornly
The truth is I need to feel both your hands
All I need is my love and I can race straight ahead to where he is
Now call out my name in an ever louder voice

The road is longer than I thought
I need courage in this trembling heart
Call out my name in a loud voice

I have to go
No one will help him as he wanders in the deep darkness
I believe this love will heal you when you’re hurt and tired someday
So call out my name in a loud voice for as long as it takes

I’ll get there quicker than anyone else
I’ll throw away the dim light’s thread that ties you up
Even if the morning is far or the rain pelts down on me
I’ll get to you
