これ以上何を失えば　心は許される
どれ程の痛み成らば　もう一度君に会える
One more time　季節よ　うつろわないで
One more time ふざけあった時間よ

How much more do I have to lose, before my heart is forgiven?
How many more pains do I have to suffer, to meet you once again?
One more time, oh seasons, fade not
One more time, when we were messing around

食い違う時はいつも僕が割きに折れたね
わがままな性格がなおさら愛しくさせた
One more chance 記憶に足を取られて
One more chance 次の場所を選べない

Whenever we disagreed, I would always give in first
Your selfish nature made me love you even more
One more chance, the memories restrain my steps
One more chance, I cannot choose my next destination

いつでも捜しているよ　どっかに君の姿を
向かいのホーム路地裏の窓
こんなとこにいるはずもないのに
願いがもしも叶うならいますぐ君のもとへ
できない事はもう何もない
全てかけて抱きしめて見せるよ

I’m always searching, for your figure to appear somewhere
On the opposite platform, in the windows along the lane
Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place
If my wish were to come true, I would be at your side right away
There would be nothing I couldn’t do
I would put everything on the line and hold you tight

寂しさ紛らすだけなら　誰でもいいはずなのに
星が落ちそうな夜だから　自分をいつわれない
One more time　季節よ　うつろわないで
One more time ふざけあった時間よ

If I just wanted to avoid loneliness, anybody would have been enough.
Because the night looks like the stars will fall, I cannot lie to myself.
One more time, oh seasons, fade not.
One more time, when we were messing around

いつでも捜しているよ　どっかに君の姿を
交差点でも夢の中でも　こんなとこにいるはずもないのに
奇跡がもしも起こるならいますぐ君に見せたい
新しい朝　これからの僕
言えなかった「好き」という言葉も

I’m always searching, for your figure to appear somewhere
At a street crossing, in the midst of dreams
Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place
If a miracle were to happen here, I would show you right away
The new morning, who I’ll be from now on
And the words I never said: “I love you.”

夏の思い出がまわる
ふいに消えた鼓動

The memories of summer are revolving
The throbbing which suddenly disappeared

いつでも捜しているよ　どっかに君の姿を
明け方の町桜木町で
こんなとこにいるはずもないのに
願いがもしも叶うならいますぐ君のもとへ
できない事はもう何もない
全てかけて抱きしめて見せるよ

I’m always searching, for your figure to appear somewhere
At dawn on the streets, at Sakuragi-cho
Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place
If my wish were to come true, I would be at your side right away
There would be nothing I couldn’t do
I would put everything on the line and hold you tight

いつでも捜しているよ　どっかに君の欠片を
旅先の店新聞の隅
こんなとこにいるはずもないのに
奇跡がもしも起こるならいますぐ君に見せたい
新しい朝　これからの僕
言えなかった「好き」という言葉も

I’m always searching, for fragments of you to appear somewhere
At a traveller’s store, in the corner of newspaper,
Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place
If a miracle were to happen here, I would show you right away
The new morning, who I’ll be from now on
And the words I never said: “I love you.”

いつでも捜してしまう　どっかに君の笑顔を
急行町の　踏み切りあたり
こんなとこにいるはずもないのに
命が繰り返すならば何ども君のもとへ
欲しいものなど　もう何もない
君のほかに大切なものなど

I always end up looking for your smile, to appear somewhere
At the railroad crossing, waiting for the express to pass
Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place
If our lives could be repeated, I would be at your side every time
I would want nothing else
Besides you, nothing else matters

Actually the anime is from Byousoku 5cm [5cm/s] (The anime has been out for quite awhile… Only in the mood to blog about it now tho….)

Very beautiful and very sad…. Its a must-watch for any anime-watchers!!! Plus there’s a nice theme song….. Hahahhahax!!!

Song Title: The Light Before We Land (Gunslinger Girl OP)

Performed by: The Delgados

Takened from: www.animelyrics.com

In cases such as these I'd like a hand
Don't wake me up without a master plan
With black & white instead of colour
Don't you understand?
When things that once were beautiful
Are bland

And when I feel like I can feel once again
Let me stay awhile
Soak it in awhile
If we can hold on we can fix what is wrong
Buy a little time
For this head of me
Haven for us     

In truth there is no better place to be
Than falling out of darkness still to see

Without a premonition
Could you tell me where we stand?
I'd hate to lose this light
Before we land     

Before we let euphoria
Convince us we are free
Remind us how we used to feel
Before when life was real

Gunslinger Girl is a 13 episode anime about a group of girls/cyborgs who have differing personalities but share the similarity that all of them belong to the “Social Welfare Agency” and are one half of a special ops team call a “Fratello”. Throughout the 13 episode anime, we are shown the operations carried out by these special ops teams and also the training and the everyday life of the girls. In which we find out about the relationship between them and the other half of the “Fratello”, the “handler”. The graphics and the sound is pretty good. And the anime is quite interesting too.. Just that some might find the pace of the first few episodes abit slow….
