Song of the Moment

Song of the moment - Escaflowne: Yakusoku wa Iranai (No Need to Promise)

Listenin to the soundtracks of Escaflowne since yesterday. This song was now playin, performed by Sakamoto Maaya. Memories of yesteryear surfaced. The lending of this anime. Watching it and indulged in its own-kind-of-way story. Subsequent events after watching this anime. Happenings that were by pieces related to this. Etched on little by little in my mind it came back.

This OST is excellent, too bad I dun have the complete tracks and the compete anime too~ (I'm tryin hard to collect the rest now~) Here's my playlist:

1. Angel
2. Battle Theme
3. Flying Dragon
4. Gloria
5. Yakusoku wa Iranai
6. Romance
7. Yubiwa
8. Aoi Hitomi
9. Mystic Eyes
10. No Need to Promise

And here's the lyrics for Yaaku wa Iranai and its translation:

Nee, aishitara
Dare mo ga konna kodoku ni naru no?
Nee, kurayami yori mo
Fukai kurushini dakishimeteru no?
Nani mo kamo ga futari kagayaku tame
Kitto

Kimi wo kimi wo aishiteru
Kokoro de mitsumeteiru
Kimi wo kimi wo shinjiteru
Samui yoru mo

Nee, koishite mo dare ni mo itsuka
Owari ga kuru no?
Nee, aozora yori mo sunda
Tokimeki suteteshimau no?
Kisetsu kawari no kaze
Michi o hashiru zutto

Kimi wo kimi wo aishiteru
Kokoro de mitsumeteiru
Kimi wo kimi wo shinjiteru
Samui yoru mo

Tatoe ashita nakushite mo
Anata o ushinatte mo
Dekiru kagiri no egao de kagayakitai

Namida de ima yobikakeru
Yakusoku nado iranai
Kimi ga kurete taisetsu na tsuyosa da kara

Hitomi de ima yobikakeru
Yakusoku nado iranai
Hitomi de ima te o nobasu
Samui yoru mo

Translated:

So is everybody this lonely
When they're in love?
They'll hold onto a pain
Deeper than the shadows?
It's all to make us shine
I just know it. . .

I love you, I love you
I gaze at you with my heart
I believe in you, I believe in you
Even in the cold night

So, when in love, will the end
Eventually come to everyone?
So, would you abandon a heartbeat
Even clearer than the blue sky?
I run along the path of the season-changing-wind
The whole way

I love you, I love you
I gaze at you with my heart
I believe in you, I believe in you
Even in the cold night

Even if I lose tomorow
And you lose as well
I want to shine with all of my heart

I call out to you in tears
but I don't need any promises
That's the precious strength you've given me

Now I call out to you with my eyes
But I don't need any promises
Now I reach out for you with my eyes
Even in the cold night
