omg when I was watching the PV I first thought cloud and aerith because
the vocalist [ruki] had blonde hair and was holding the hand of this girl with brown hair and a red dress! too cute
then after watching the video I wanted to know the translation of the song and my eyes widened this is such a cloud and aerith song!!
you all must read!!

:cleris:

the song would be in cloud's pov while the memo would be in aerith's

Title: Zakurogata no Yuuutsu (A Pomegrante Shaped Melancholy)

cry and cry, and when the tears have stopped,
let's keep a smile on our faces
cry and cry, and if you smile to me, ever by my side

the morning light coming from the window
looks different than usual
this ill air is because I've seen what lay ahead
when the get-well flowers in the vase wilt
I'll leave you, discard everything and go somewhere far away
you always kid around to cheer me up
cheerfully showing me kindness, caring more about me than yourself...
It must be tough. Seeing me this way.
why don't you just come and say you're tired?
you never made a sour face,
you simply held me gently and cried for me.

I wanna live, I don't wanna die. everytime I think of it, the tears spill
I wanna live, there's nothing I can do for you

it seems like I've been asleep quite awhile
next to me only your scent remains
I felt a bit uneasy, the fear welling up within me
and the days go by, a memo came to me
as I waited fro you to come home. It was from you.

I was left dumbfounded by what was written
I cried out as if I'd been broken.

-------------------------------------
(the memo)

I'm sorry.
for acting without your consent
I just wanted to help you.
If I could die for you
nothing would make me happier...

-------------------------------------

you're always watching over me from within me
when I close my eyes and think about you,
I can't forget that smile.
from now I'll live my life looking at the same background over and over
blown by the seabreeze and the light coming from the window
I'll fall asleep.
even if we never awake again.

Oh my gosh!! I cant help but to bump this thread T_______T FORGIVE ME! But I love ruki in this video =o

Yup i agree that the guy's point of view is like cloud's T_T But look at this song. Sumire by gazette too. I always thought this song is a continuance of Zakurogata no Yuutsu (just like wakaremichi and 7gatsu 8ka) and in the guy's pov. Remind me of how cloud feels.. This is not my translations btw =o I've copied it from somewhere into my pc along time ago >.<;;

Title: Sumire

okitegami ni kishita
gomen ne no imi ni tomadou

I worried about the meaning of the "I'm sorry"
in the note left behind

denwa no beru ga itai
naiyou ha kitto are darou

the ringing of the phone pains me
I'm sure i know what it's about.

tada jijitsu ni nigeteru dake
okubyou da ne wakatteru sa
kimi wo omoi
kigatzuitara hashiridashiteta

I'm just running from the truth
I know, im a coward.
I think of you, and before I know it,
I'm running off.

tanoshikatta hibi ha ima mo mune no naka de ikitemasu
yarinaoseru kimi to dakara
arukihajimeta ano koro no you ni...

The good times still live on, even now, in my heart
'cause I can start over with you,
like back when I first began to walk...

furishikiru ame kimi ni mukau hodo ni tsumetai

the falling rain, was colder the more I headed towards you

me no mae ni ha iki wo hikitotta kimi
hannou no nai 'kara'
mugon ga tada itai

you died right before my eyes
a 'husk' that gave no response.
the silence just pained me so.

kimi no egao, kimi no namida, kimi no negao
kimi no koe, kimi no karada, kimi no boku,
kimi ni mou aenai

your smile, your tears, your voice
your body, your body, you're mine,
I can't never see you again.

tanoshikatta hibi ha zutto
mune no oku de ikiteru kara
kimi ha boku no kioku no naka de
akarui egao misete

the good times live on
forever in my heart,
in my memory
you show me that cheerful smile,

yume no naka de au kimi ha
aikawarazu nakimushi de
kono mama zutto kono yume ga samenai you ni
sotto negatta

when I met you in a dream,
you were as much a cry baby as you always were
I wished I'd never wake up
I softly wished,

kienai you ni
sotto negatta
kienai you ni...

that you wouldn't go away
I softly wished
that you wouldn't go away...
