Pretty Girl -WARNING EXPLICIT LYRICS

I translated this to english. Critiques welcome, this is how I'll learn. I'm feeling unsure about what I interpreted so if you think any part is wrong, I'd love to hear it, :) I was unable to find this song anywhere on the internet, so I took the kanji from my cd sleeve and looked them all up, and it took forever... lol. It's hard when you're not good in Japanese, lol. But it is how we learn, ne:)

Since my good friend and fellow fangirl Tracy has considered flying half way accross the globe to see Hyde, and since she complimented me on my translation on Horizon, I thought I post my translation here. The lyrics seem befitting to her going to see him in concert... well... sorta... :)

Japanese:

あこがれは遥か蜃気楼の彼方

ひび割れた胸が焦がれて痛いよ

揺り籠のように抱きしめられたなら

必要なものなんて他に無い

気付けば果てしない砂漠の上

ちぎれた想いが叫んでいた

見上げた瞳は空を目がけて

最後の一つまで眩しい矢を放つ

穏やかな日々に出逢えたのなら

「全て夢だったよ」って目覚めてみたい

どれくらい君を待ち続けてただろう?

切なさ以外はもうここに無い

目が眩む日差しが照らしてる

凍えた心は燃えるように

見上げた瞳は空を目がけて

最後の一つまで眩しい矢を放つ

突き刺さった…

もがくほど絡む有刺鉄線を連れて

引きずるように明日をつかむ

見上げた瞳は空を目がけて最後の一つまで眩しい矢を放て!

Romaji:

Akogare wa haruka shinkirou no kanata

Hibi wareta mune ga kogarete itai yo

Yuri kago no you ni dakishimerareta nara

Hitsuyou na mono nante hoka ni nai

Kizukeba hate shinai sabaku no ue

Chigireta omoi ga sakende ita

Miageta hitomi wa sora wo me gakete

Saigo no hitotsu made mabushii ya wo hanatsu

Odayaka na hibi ni deaeta no nara

"Subete yume datta yo" tte mezamete mitai

Dorekurai kimi wo machi tsuzuketeta darou?

Setsu na sa igai wa mou koko ni nai

Me ga kuramu hizashi ga terashiteru

Kogoeta kokoro wa moeru youni

Miageta hitomi wa sora wo me ga kete

Saigo no hitotsu made mabushii ya wo hanatsu

Tsuki sasatta...

Mogaku hodo karamu yuushitessen wo tsurete

Hiki zuru youni asu wo tsukamu

Horizons rise here in my eyes

A sound of silence calls

But in my heart a distant hope is mine forever more

Miageta hitomi wa sora wo me yagete

Saigo no hitotsu made mabushii ya wo hanate!

English translation by me:

A longing, for a mirage far off in the distance

My heart is broken, I'm so in love it hurts

You tremble as I embrace in my arms

Nothing else matters because this is all I need

You must know there are no boundaries over a desert,

I was crying because my heart was shred to pieces

My eyes looking up, my gaze is at the sun, until the end comes, I feel bedazzled by cupid's arrow

Everyday we met brought tranquility

"If it's all just a dream" it seems like I would wake up

I wonder, how much longer should I continue to wait for you?

Again I except this hardship of your absence here

Bedazzling sunlight shines in my eyes, as it fires up my frozen heart

The moon was stuck...

Can't wait to become one with you, I'd go through barbwire to get there

as I stealthily pull you in, to seize our future

Horizons rise here in my eyes

A sound of silence calls

But in my heart, a distant hope

Is mine forever more

Until I reach the horizon, cupid's arrow shoots me!

ハイドさん お誕生日おめでとうございます!!! We love you!!!

Hyde Solo Tour 2008

I know this is old news by now but HYDE is touring again in 2008! you can find the dates and locations here www.hyde.com/tour2008

I am planning on going to the shows in Sendai if nothing doesn't happen between now and August to stop me AGAIN. If anyone out there is going to that one please let me know i would love to meet up with some people.

I wish he would tour again over here though he is loved so much in the states and its so hard for most of us to go to Japan it really hurts to not get to see him!
