Its been ages since I had blogged. Many issues which I had mentioned in my earlier posts and some more which I had not, had kept me away. I would like to think, that some had missed the updates on my blog; if you have,I dedicate this beautiful ballad to you.
Couple of weeks ago, I was going through my collection of X-Japan songs. If you haven't heard them , you should. Arguably one of the finest talents to come out of Asia, pioneers of a new genre of J-rock [visual kei], their music was at its finest form in their ballads. So if you like rock ballads, do check them out.
Here's to you..
Here are the lyrics in Romaji and English
Forever Love [Romaji]
Mō hitori de arukenai
Toki no kaze ga tsuyosugite
Ah
Kizu tsuku koto nante
Nareta hazu dakedo ima wa
Ah
Kono mama dakishimete
Nureta mama no kokoro o
Kawari tsuzukeru kono toki ni
Kawaranai ai ga aru nara
Will you hold my heart
Namida uketomete
Mō... Kowaresō na All my heart
Forever Love
Afureru omoi dake ga
hageshiku setsunaku
jikan o umetsukusu
Oh tell me why
All I see is blue in my heart
Will you stay with me
Kaze ga sugisaru made
Mata afure dasu all my tears
Forever Love
Forever Dream
Konomama soba ni ite
Yoake ni furueru
Kokoro o daki shimete
Oh Stay with me
Ah
Subete ga owareba ii
Owari no nai kono yoru ni
Ah
Ushinau mono nante
Nanimo nai anata dake
Forever Love
Forever Dream
Konomama soba ni ite
Yoake ni furueru
Kokoro o daki shimete
Ah Will you stay with me
Kaze ga sugisaru made
Mō dare yori mo soba ni
Forever Love
Forever Dream
Kore ijyō arukenai
Oh Tell me why
Oh Tell me true
Oshiete ikiru imi o
Forever Love
Forever Dream
Afureru namida no naka
Kagayaku kisetsu ga
Eien ni kawaru made
Forever Love..
Forever Love [English]
I'll never walk alone again, the winds of time are too strong.
Ah, it's that what you hurts, which you'll have to live with...
Ah, this tight embrace, and this burning, unchanged heart.
In this ever changing time, love will never change.
Will you hold my heart? Stop flowing tears.
Again, all of my heart is broken....
Forever love, forever dream
Only flowing emotions, bury this intense,
trying, meaningless times.
Oh tell me why ... all I see is blue in my heart.
Will you stay with me? Wait until after the wind passes,
all my tears are still flowing...
Forever love, forever dream Stay with me like this.
Hold my trembling heart in the dawn.
Oh stay with me...
Ah, everything good seems to be ending,
in this unending night.
Ah, what else would you lose if nothing at all matters.
Forever love, forever dream, stay with me like this.
Hold my trembling heart in the dawn.
Oh will you stay with me... Until the wind passes,
stay with me again.
Forever love, forever dream, I'll never walk this path.
Oh tell me why, tell me true, teach me how to live.
Forever love, forever dream, within flowing tears
Bright seasons will forever change again and again ....
forever love...

Notes: This footage is from the 1997 last live performance of X-Japan. The band had decided to disband,and this was their farewell performance after announcing the dissolution. Hence you see Yoshiki, founding member and the songwriter for this song, crying. Shortly after this performance, hide [the guitarist] also died.
X Japan reunited in 2007, however, hide will forever be missed.
