AMV Bleach: Orihime Leaves
Sen No Yoru Wo Koete (English) Lyrics
I want to be loved, but you don’t seem to love me I wander within that repetition I found one answer; that even if I’m scared, even if I’m hurt I can say “I love you” to the person who I love
Do you love me? Or not love me? As for things like that, it’s already fine either way No matter how I wish There are many unchangeable things in this world, right? That’s right, and because only the fact of my loving you Is the truth unchangeable by anyone
I want to overcome the thousands of nights and tell it to you There’s something that I must tell you I want to be loved, but you don’t seem to love me I wander within that repetition I found one answer; that even if I’m scared Even if I’m hurt, I can say “I love you” to the person who I love It’s scary to turn my feelings into words But I can say “I love you” to the person who I love
In this broad world, I can’t express the joy of encountering you with words So we smile, sing about the vividly passing autumn in do-re-mi Turn our backs on winter, wait for the sunlight streaming through trees in spring And become reborn anew, so that we can protect someone
On the path we came from and our destination, when we looked back, I’d always have timid eyes I want to face you, but I can’t be honest I, who repeated days of not being able to straightforwardly love my partner And hated being alone on that day Seemed to love people while unwounded
I’ll overcome the thousands of nights and go meet you now There is something that I must tell you I want to be loved, but you don’t seem to love me I wander within that repetition I found one answer; that even if I’m scared Even if I’m hurt, I can say “I love you” to the person who I love Even if those thoughts aren’t fulfilled, I can say “I love you” to the person who I love
