Shangri-La



Shangri-La
Vocals: Asami Imai
Lyrics: RUCCA
Composition: Tomoyuki Hamada
Arrangement: Toshikazu Minami

It’s been a while since we started this journey.
When we met we promised forever, you and me.
Just like fragmented molecular symbols,
If you are not with me, then I would…

I’d rather drown myself
Deep inside this most beautiful lie,
Throw myself away into this rotting ark
Where I’ll sink in the tide.

I must see you, but I cannot see you!
Please tell me: where did you go?
I don’t know the truth, but what can I do?
Should I ask? I don’t know.
This requiem, it calls from them;
These birds with their wings torn apart,
Echoing in this Shangri-La deep in my heart.

The water dripping from the sleepless crescent moon
Can no longer return back.

During that season I could laugh about
How pretty things are beautiful,
I fixated on it all like it was a fake.

Don’t disappear, don’t fade from my mind;
The mirage is flickering
I wanna cry, but I cannot cry
So I call out your name,
But if my wish and the warmth will melt away in the wind
Then I’ll at least
Send my love and song to you now.

I must see you, I must see you…
Even if it’s only in a dream.
Hold me close, and whisper to me
Ah, with that voice of yours.
I’ll overcome the misery
Of these birds with their wings torn apart
And take off into the skies of Shangri-La.

Even if it’s outline is faraway,
Look, I’m by your side.
I love you so much, in afterlife,
Ah, that it moves me to tears.
Yes, I am who I am
Because I was able to meet you on that day
So may my feelings reach you now.
