Angela Aki - “Ai no Uta (愛のうた)” (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
It's midnight and I'm sitting in my hotel room
Hugging my pillow, hiding behind my hair
From the lonely light of the stars
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
I'm sure anyone can easily say that we parted for good reason
Yet I am judged each day, by reason and righteousness

[Pre-Chorus]
And so I was driven out of the Garden of Eden
Oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
What the two of us left behind is just a broken future
And this song, this song about love
In this prison of time, everything is burned down
As I sing this love song
Oh

[Verse 3]
Underneath these pure white sheets
A passionate promise was made
And underneath this bed, I carefully hid
The realization of my sins
[Pre-Chorus]
The morning light creeps in, illuminating my wounds

[Chorus]
There's only one thing left that I can offer you
And that's this song, this song about love
Even if we try to find a compromise
It will be trampled by the shadows of despair
So I just sing this love song
Yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
Oh
And you left, as I was still asleep
Oh

[Chorus]
What the two of us left behind is just a broken future
And this song, this song about love
In this prison of time, everything is burned down
As I sing this love song
Even if we try to find a compromise
It will be trampled by the shadows of despair
So I just sing this love song
I just sing this love song
[Outro]
Calling, calling
Calling, I'm calling your name
Oh-oh, I'm calling, calling
Calling, I'm calling your name
Oh-oh, I'm calling, calling
Calling, I'm calling your name
Oh-oh, I'm calling, calling
Calling, I'm calling your name
Oh-oh-oh
