ENDLESS RAIN ~acoustic~ (music & lyrics by Yoshiki) Originally released by X Japan in 1989 on the album “Blue Blood” vocals: Leif Astroid e-piano, e-vibraphone, spoken voice: Mike Breeze [additional English translation by Mitsuhiro Nishida, Kanagawa, Japan] ____________________________________________ I’m walking in the rain yuku ate mo naku kizutsuita karada nurashi [no way to go with my body and soul getting wet.] karamitsuku koori no zawameki [aclimbing icy buzz] koroshi tsuzukete samayou itsu made mo [killing and wandering forever] Until I can forget your love
nemuri wa mayaku tohou ni kureta [sleeping is a drug, losing my mind] kokoro o shizuka ni tokasu [and melting your bewildered soul quietly] mai agaru ai o odorasete [let the burning love dancing] furueru karada o kioku no bara ni tsutsumu [wrapping my frozing body with the roses of memory] I keep my love for you to myself
ENDLESS RAIN, FALL ON MY HEART kokoro no kizu ni [to the scar of your mind] LET ME FORGET ALL OF THE HATE, ALL OF THE SADNESS
Days of joy, days of sadness slowly pass me by As I try to hold you, you are vanishing before me You're just an illusion… When I'm awaken, my tears have dried in the sand of sleep I'm a rose blooming in the desert
It’s a dream, I’m in love with you madoromi dakishimete [hold me tight in dozing]
CHORUS
I awake from my dream I can’t find my way without you
The dream is over koe ni naranai kotoba o kurikaeshite mo [if I tried to repeat the silent voices] takasugiru hai iro no kabe wasugi satta hi no [the grey wall too high] omoi o yume ni utsusu [made the passed memory return to the dream ] Until I can forget your love
CHORUS
ENDLESS RAIN, LET ME STAY EVER MORE IN YOUR HEART LET MY HEART TAKE IN YOUR TEARS, TAKE IN YOUR MEMORIES ENDLESS RAIN
