Omoide no Mori ("The Forest of Memories")
"Shamanic Princess Original Soundtrack"  Victor VICL-799
translation by Mark Neidengard


Kanojo no heya ni itte
Namida wo fuite agete
                                             Go into her room
                                             And wipe away her tears

Watashi nara daijoubu
Tomodachi demo
                                             I'll be okay
                                             Even if we're just friends

Dakedo ai shiteru
Kitto wasurenai
Omoide no mori ni
Hitori ni shinaide
Naiteru
                                             But I love you
                                             I'll never ever forget
                                             Don't leave me alone
                                             In the forest of memories,
                                             Crying...

Umarete kuru toki ni
Guzen nigitta unmei no ishi ga
Hitobito wo
Yorokobi ya kanashimi ni michibiiteku
Moshi te no hiraite nagesutetara
Nanika wo kaeru koto ga dekiru no darou ka
Soretomo ishi wo nakushite shimattara
Mayotte shimau dake?
                                             The stones of fate that
                                             People grasped by chance
                                             When they were born
                                             Will guide them to joy and pain.
                                             If I open my hand and cast it away
                                             Would I be able to change things?
                                             Or if I lose the stone,
                                             Will I just become lost?

Moshi imi ga aru no nara
Kono deai ni
                                             If there's any meaning
                                             In this encounter...

Suki ni natta hi no
Yasashisa no mama de
Owaraseru koto ga
Watashi ni totte no saigo no
                                             To be able to end it all
                                             In the gentleness of the day
                                             When I fell in love
                                             Would be my last...

Doko ni iku no?
                                             Where am I going?
