La Dernière Minute

Suppose I’d understood all, lived all here below
Suppose I was so old I wanted no more o’me
When the skin of my life is pathways dug out
by tracks and by grief, by doubts and laughter
At that point I would ask  for just one more minute.

When there is nothing more which upsets and which hurts
And when even sorrows seem like a soft caress,
When I can see my death at the foot of my bed
When I see her smiling at my so tiny life
I will tell her “Listen, leave me just one minute
(Just for one more minute. Just for one more minute.)

To smarten myself up or for a cigarette
(Just for one more minute, just for one more minute.)

For one final shiver or for one final act

(Just for one more minute, just for one more minute.)

To sort out my mem’ries before the great winter
(Just one more minute, Quite pointless and aimless)

Since my life is nothing, so I want every bit,
All the lot, all complete, and with all its by-ways,
Since my life is nothing, so I’m asking some back,
I want added for me sixty little seconds as my final minute
The very Last Minute
(Tick tock tick tock tick tock)

Hikari No Sasu Basho

For how long have I been sleeping 
In the gap of this endless darkness? 
Wandering aimlessly in my closing off heart 
I can hear a nostalgic voice  calling from far away 
Riding on the arid wind

From somewhere far in the distance  reverberates a prayer 
In order to see tomorrow

How much farther do I have to walk 
On this endless road  before I can reach the place where the light shines?

Envisioning a lasting dream

Entrusting my thoughts  in the letters carved in red 
Weaving our destinies together

How much farther do I have to walk to reach it? 
Planting my feet firmly  on the marvelous earth 
On this endless road  toward the place where the light shines someday

((Sung by Mamoru Miyano. English lyrics from animelyrics.com.)) 

Orpheus

Engraved in my bosom is the first impact, fast soul beat. 
As the streets sway in the stillness, where’s the angels’ song going? 
At the end of my wandering road, I’m just feeling, just missing. 
Right now, what wish are you making?

Sing your song. Even when we’re apart we can understand. 
Hear my wind. There is only one sky that connects us two.

The brand-new sky is limitless. 
Because we are not alone, 
your love song, although far away, will beat its wings. 
Let’s believe in our shiny days. 
It’s our absolute “Love’s Heart chain”.

We’ll have an innocent dream. Feel me, touch me. 
My heartbeat is the future.

Yes, into the world that’s waiting for the dawn… 
resound, Orpheus heart!

Even if that’s a sin. Believe my pain. Believe your voice 
I don’t care; I still want to embrace your hidden tears. 
The God is very fickle. Shakin’ minds, shakin’ love. 
What are you trying to try out?

Sing my song. My thoughts will not dissipate. 
No more cry. Scorch the seething present moment.

If, for example, the cloudy sky becomes watery, 
and your heart is weeping as well, 
then with my sun-like love, let me shine everything. 
Your scar, already filled with tenderness, 
please let me close it up with a kiss.

We’ll make the future’s world. Feel me, touch me. 
Is it reaching you? Can you hear it?

Sing our song. Get over your tears, 
make [them] your wing, and aim for our sky.

The brand-new sky is limitless. 
Because we are not alone, 
your love song, although far away, will beat its wings. 
Let’s believe in our shiny days. 
It’s our absolute “Love’s Heart chain”.

We’ll have an innocent dream. Feel me, touch me. 
My heartbeat is the future.

Yes, into the world that’s waiting for the dawn… 
resound, Orpheus heart!

((Since Mamo is going to be Hakuba’s voice actor in the new Magic Kaito series, I’m going to go ahead and say that his impressive vocal catalog is available to attribute to favorite half-brit detective as suits our fangirlish needs. The first that needs to be claimed is, of course, Guilty Beauty Love, which many of you will recognize from Ouran High School Host Club.

So listen and imagine that it’s Hakuba singing to you… and thank me later~))

Guilty Beauty Love 

What a crime, such a beautiful crime,
that God would make a star as bright as I
And I know it’s a disgrace to admire this perfect face
Reflected in your eyes;
So, it’s right that I suffer tonight
All the pain of all the passion inside
But my heart can not deny
What I’m feeling inside that makes me long for you. 
Guilty Beauty Love 

Take my hand. Take the key.
You can open the door.
Take a step. Take a chance.
Now you’ll find there’s so much more. 
There’s a world you’ve dreamed of, and, if you’ll allow,
Let me escort you there. 
I kneel before you, kiss your hand to tell you I’m a lucky guy. 
Look back, and know that I can heal your tired heart. 

What a crime, such a breath-taking crime,
Everything I touch can’t help but fall in love
In this cruel romantic game,
There’s no way that you’re to blame
For your stolen heart. 
So, I’ll say that the price I must pay
Is to offer up my heart forever; 
Just don’t take away your touch
‘cause it means so much to feel your hand in mine. 
Guilty Beauty Love 

In the sky, you and I are floating in space,
I, the moon, you, the sun, locked in beautiful embrace; 
Heavenly bodies come together so blindingly bright
They chase away the night. 
What I bring you I hope delights you,
A bouquet of passion cutie lady; 
Be sure that here with me, you’ll always save the day. 

What a crime, such a wonderful crime,
That God would choose to make such lips as mine. 
It was wrong but all the same,
I invited, and you came into this dream with me. 

So, my price is to gaze in your eyes
And to feel more love than I can contain; 
Even so, it’s fair to say I still found a way to cast my spell on you. 
Guilty Beauty Heart

(sung by Mamoru Miyano, english version lyrics by Vic Mignogna)

((and then I spend the entire time in the shower composing Hakuba’s Koushien Lament about meeting Heiji… … … man IDEK WHAT I AM EVEN DOING WITH MY LIFE

here are some more verses I thought of:

I think you might be jealous
Yes, I’m rather sure that’s true
It’s really not my fault, you know,
That I’ve solved far more crimes than you~!

and then

So, maybe I’m obsessive,
with the one I couldn’t solve
But you would be the same, Hattori,
if you’d only get involved~!

and more but

I’ll keep writing verse and then put them all together and cut with a machete and then record it. And then everyone will be like “?????? wasting time ??????” only a couple of people will laugh and it will make it all worth it. thank you goodbye.))

((ps it’s a broadway-style musical obv))

Nobody Loves You Like Me

Here at the bar who cares what I do
I’m all alone but I’m drinking for two
Drowning the man that I used to be
Nobody loves you like me

I won’t sign a thing, or else if I do
I’ll use a pencil and that will show you
How nothing lasts, how nothing is free
Nobody loves you like me

I shouldn’t stay, I think you’ll agree
It’s no good for you, no better for me
In the morning I’ll go to a place far away
Somewhere you’ll never find me

I catch a look, a thing that you say
Out on the fire escape smoking all day
Missing someone, now who could it be
Nobody loves you like me

Noises outside, the trucks in the street
Will cover my flight, my hero’s retreat
I’m supposed to feel bad but I don’t anymore
Only when you remind me

Air in my lungs, a cough and a wheeze
Holes in the bellows and blood on the keys
You move along, there’s nothing to see
Nobody loves you like me
Nobody loves you like me

Tonight You Belong To Me

I know you belong
To somebody new
But tonight you belong to me.

Although we’re apart,
You’re part of my heart,
But tonight, you belong to me.

Way down by the stream,
How sweet it will seem,
Once more, just to dream in the moonlight.

My honey, I know,
With the dawn,
That you will be gone,
But tonight you belong to me.

Way down – way down – along the stream
How very, very sweet it will seem
Once more, just to dream, in the silvery moonlight.

My honey, I know,
With the dawn
That you will be gone
But tonight, you belong to me.

Just to little old me.
