If you ask me, Gackt's subconsciously writing CxA songs. :lol: All translations are from Centigrade-J.

This first one could be a duet between Cloud and Aerith, so I've written their names above the parts I could see them singing.

Kimi ga Matteiru Kara (Because You're Waiting)

(Aerith)
I don't know the reason behind the tears
you showed me, within the wind mixed with sighs
Who can kill this pain
even now closed off in my heart.

Don't hang your head and cry,
with your breath held, whenever you want...
yes, we can see each other.

No one in the world need understand...
If you're waiting for me
Watching you, even now unchanged
just like this...

The scars of the past left on the arms
you reach out with, are the mark of sins
you've borne, and been forgiven.

(Cloud)
Your faintly smiling lips, so precious, so fragile
I won't let anyone take you from me

If someday you're reborn,
then like back then...
I'm sure we'll find each other again.

I don't care if I'm shivering alone at night...
because I'm waiting for you
Now, I can't remember how you looked back then.

I close my eyes, and I'm touched by your smile

It doesn't matter how far apart we get
if I'm waiting for you,
believing we'll always be together
only you...

(Aerith)
No one in the world need understand...
If you're waiting for me
Watching you, even now unchanged
and just like this....

This one is an AC Cloud song, I think. Reading the lyrics just reminded me of him, what with all the atoning and forgiveness talk, and then the ending lines 'Back then we were smiling'.

Birdcage

I'm corrupted
the memory of my youth I saw in the light,
still now so far away.
From the darkness,
I yelled your name over and over again.
In that endless time, you were all I had.

Unable to atone for my sins with my life,
I shut myself
All I can do is pray... my sadness won't heal.

I tore off one leaf of a wet hydrangea
float it in a puddle and remember you.
For some reason,
the sound of a steam whistle faintly blowing
from a far off ship in the sunset after the rain,
makes me sad.

If I'm not to be forgiven,
then I wish it was all gone
The pain, the suffering,
to a world where none of it matters.

Unable to atone for my sins with my life,
I shut myself
All I can do is pray... my sadness won't heal.
Your voice I heard from the gently weeping sky,
Laughing with tears in my eyes, I can't see...

the memory of my youth I saw in the light
even that silent smile, now makes me happy
even back then, a time we can never go back to,
we were smiling.

And finally, another Cloud song, Metamorphoze. I think the 'I wish I could have kept you safe' is what reminds me most of him.

Metamorphoze

I'm frozen in place by the pounding of my heart
pieces of you fall into the deep darkness
in this world where there's no running away
above all else, I wished I could have kept you safe

still now... even now more than anyone's kind words
I wish to feel those lips, your lips on me gently

one day even this endless space will bid a fond farewell
but I'll never forget you, the way I remember you.

my memory of you can take away
the pain that no one else can erase
even more so than any words, no matter how kind

just now, I screamed out your name again and again

we may keep making the same mistakes over and over but
I'm determined to keep the promise we made.

still now... even now more than anyone's kind words
I want to take you in my arms, once more

still now I will continue to fight for you
until the day we can laugh together again.

Oh yes!! Did you see the Kimi ni Aitakutte music video?! You'd think he were advertising for AC! :lmao:

Todokanai Ai to Shitteiru no ni Osaekirezuni Aishitsuzuketa...

amai yume no you na kimi to sugoshita hibi wo
ushinau koto nante nai to omotteita keredo...

The days I spent with you were like a sweet dream
I thought that I would never lose them, but...

"kimi no hitomi ni utsutteiru no ha boku ja nai n da ne"
utsumuku kimi ni nani mo ienakute

"I'm not the one reflected in your eyes"
Hanging my head low, I couldn't say anything to you

todokanai ai to shitteiru no ni
osaekirezu ni aishitsuzuketa
mou ichido kono ude de dakishimetai
kimi wo zutto hanasanai kara

Even though I know that my love will never reach you
I continue to love you uncontrollably
I want to hold you in my arms one more
And never let you go again

sukoshi terenagara yasashiku boku ni fureta
komorebi ni yureru kimi ha hitonatsu no kagerou

You touched me gently, just a little shy
In the wavering light between the trees, you are no more than the ephemeral summer heat

kimi ga nokoshita nukumori ga ima mo mune wo shimetsukeru
mou modorenai to sou iikikasete...

Even now I hold onto the warmth that you left behind in my heart
Even though they warn me that the warmth will never return...

todokanai ai to shitteiru no ni
osaekirezu ni aishitsuzuketa
mou ichido kono basho de deaeru nara
nido to kimi wo hanasanai kara

Even though I know that my love will never reach you
I continue to love you uncontrollably
If I could only meet you here once more
I wouldn't let you go again

sono hohoemi wo kesshite wasurenai
koe ga kareru made kimi no na wo sakebitsuzuketa...

I'll never forget your smile
I kept calling out your name until my voice ran dry...

todokanai ai to shitteiru no ni
osaekirezu ni aishitsuzuketa
mou ichido kono ude de dakishimetai
kimi wo zutto hanasanai kara

Even though I know that my love will never reach you
I continue to love you uncontrollably
I want to hold you in my arms one more
And never let you go

kimi wo zutto hanasanai kara

I will never let you go
---------------------------------
noesis (A song from Tifa to Cloud?)

kawarihateta mi wo kogashite
chigireta karada wo yasashiku dakishimeru
hitomi ni utsuru tsuki ha iroawase
"mou... modorenai yo" to nakinagara kurikaesu
noesis...
kawaranai sekai ni
yurusareru koto naku tada ikiteiku dake

You burn up the flesh that has changed so completely
And gently hold the torn body
The moon reflected in your eyes is faint
"There's... no going back" you repeated between sobs
noesis...
In the unchanging world
There's nothing to forgive; you are only staying alive

dakishimete nemureru no nara yasuragi wo ataeyou
eien ni sameru koto no nai shizuka na yume wo
itsukara ka wasureteita nukumori wo motomete
itsumade mo owaru koto no nai yami wo arukitsuzukeru dake

I hold you tight, and if you can sleep, I will give you peace
A quiet dream from which you will never sake
You're searching for warmth that you have forgotten so long ago
You only keep walking through the unending darkness

kimi ha nakigara wo dakishime
kowashite kieta mono to madoiau
aoku moeru honoo wo yurerugase
"dare ga... watashi wo tomerareru no?" to kurikaesu
noesis...
kawaranai sekai ni
yurusareru koto naku tada kieteiku dake

You hold the corpse close
Confusing it with something that is broken beyond repair
The dancing blue flame shudders and trembles
"Who... can stop me?" you ask again and again
noesis...
In the unchanging world
There's nothing to forgive; you are only staying alive

itsuwari ni shibarareta nara yasuragi wo ataeyou
kono mune ni kizamaretsuzuku itami no naka de
kaeranai kioku dake ga nani yori mo itoshisugite...

If you are bound by lies, I will give you peace
In the pain that continues to cut into my heart
Only the memory that will not return is more precious than all else...

mou nido to sono hohoemi ni fureru koto ha nai

You will never touch that smile again
(I thought this song made a good example of how Tifa would probably be feeling towards Cloud since she knows he's suffering)
