Aishiteta to nakeku niwa
Amarinimo toki wa sugite shimatta
Mada kokoro no hokorobi wo
Iyasenu mama kaze ga fuiteru
Hitotsu no mede asu wo mite
Hitotsu no mede kinou mitsumeteru
Kimi no ai no yurikagode
Mo ichido yasurakani nemuretara
Kawaita hitomi de dareka naite kure
The real folk blues
Honto no kanashimi ga shiritai dake
Doro no kawa ni tsukatta

Too much time has passed by to
lament that we were deeply in love.
The wind keeps blowing, while my heart
cannot heal all the tears in it.
Watching tomorrow with one eye
while keeping the other on yesterday…
If only I could peacefully sleep
in the cradle of your love again.
Someone, cry for me with parched eyes.
The real folk blues.
I only want to know what true sadness is.
Sitting in muddy water
isn't such a bad life,
if it ends after the first time.
Despair filled with hope,
and this chance with a trap set.
What's right or wrong?
It's like two sides of a coin.
How long must I live till I'm healed?
The real folk blues.
I only want to know what true happiness is…
All that glitters is not gold.
The real folk blues.
I only want to know what true sadness is.
Sitting in muddy water
isn't such a bad life,
if it ends after the first time.

whoa,beautiful...where did you find thaT?
It's the closing theme to an anime called Cowboy Bebop. The song has a very bluesy feel to it (not the standard, generic blues riff). I thought the lyrics were rather pretty-sounding the first time I heard them a couple years ago. Over time, I've found several translations, but this one best captures what the song (and the show) are really about. When I get home this afternoon, I can email you an mp3 copy of the song.
Cowboy Bebop is, on one level, a science-fiction action/adventure/comedy/drama about a group of disparate bounty hunters - a mercenary, a former policeman, a woman with no memory of who she previously was, and a little girl who's long been separated from her parents. Just below the surface of the show, however, is an appreciable depth virtually never found in mainstream American animation.
The show questions many things... what it means to be "alive," what it is that defines who you are, what your past matters versus your present and your future, and so on.
But for whatever reason, the song was on my mind this morning, so I posted the lyrics. :-)
sleep...I can't sleep...need sleep...
...out of melatonin?
the puppy only sleeps hours that benefits terry...I haven't slept for more than a 2 hour stretch since we got the little guy
Aww... go get under the blankets and get yerself some sleep, kiddo.
The puppy is sleeping in my lap...I literally feel like this is a dry run for motherhood...except when I told my mom she said babies are easier-you just give them a tit and put them down for a nap.thanks mom.
Ah, motherly wisdom.
