Angela Aki ~ This Love

This Love - Angela Aki

「愛があれば平和だ」と

"Ai ga areba heiwa da" to

When there's love, there's peace

誰かが口にしていた

Dareka ga kuchi ni shiteita

Someone used to say that

頷く人もいれば

Unazuku hito mo ireba

There are those nodding to it

疑う人もいる

Utagau hito mo iru

And there are those doubting it

苦しみがあるからこそ

Kurushimi ga arukara koso

Whenever I was in pain

あなたを抱きしめる時

Anata o dakishimeru toki

you’d hold me closely

その腕の優しさを

Sono ude no yawashisa o

And it was in the warmth of those arms

平和と感じるのでしょう

Heiwa to kanjiru no de shiyou

that I felt peace

ある時から無口になり

Aru toki kara mukuchi ni nari

But then I stopped talking to you

心を締め切り

Kokoro o shimekiri

and closed off my heart

この恋が引き裂かれそうになった

Kono koi ga hikisakaresou ninatta

this love was torn apart

重ねたこの手を

Kasaneta kono te o

This time I don’t

今度は離さない

Kondo wa hanasanai

let go off my heart

信じる力が

Shinjiru chikara ga

Because the power of belief

愛を自由にする

Ai to Jiyuu ni suru

will set love free

友情に救われたり

Yuujou ni sukuwaretari

When you helped me as a friend

未来を想像したり

Mirai o souzoushitari

I imagined our future together

幸せは見えるけど

Shiawase wa mierukedo

And though I saw happiness in store for us

自分を見る事はない

Jibun o miru koto wa nai

I didn’t see my own issues

約束と言う私達のコンパスだけでは

Yakusoku o iu watashitachi no conpasu dakedewa

Though we said our promises would be our compass

この恋は方角を見失うの

Kono koi wa hougaku o miushinau no

we lost sight of the direction this love was going in

奇跡を待つより

Kiseki o matsuyori

Instead of waiting for a miracle

この手をつなぎたい

Kono te o tsunagitai

I want you to hold onto my hand 

信じる力が

Shinjiru chikara ga

Because the power of belief 

私を自由にする

Watashi o jiyuu ni suru

will set me free

この恋を恐れずに

Kono koi o osorezuni

You don’t have to fear this love

You don't have to fear this love,this love

重ねたこの手を

Kasaneta kono te o

This time I don’t let go off my heart

今度は離さない

Kondo wa hanasanai

信じる力が

Shinjiru chikara ga

Because the power of belief

愛を自由にする

Ai to Jiyuu ni suru

will set love free

奇跡を待つより

Kiseki o matsuyori

Instead of waiting for a miracle

この手をつなぎたい

Kono te o tsunagitai

I want you to hold onto my hand 

信じる力が

Shinjiru chikara ga

Because the power of belief 

私を自由にする

Watashi o jiyuu ni suru

will set me free
