Nouzen Katsura Lyrics
As requested. This would be another cover of Nino's that he played on Baystorm a long time ago. The original singer is Ando Yuko. She had two versions of it, but Nino based his off of the "reprise" version. I quite like both of her versions too, so please check them out. I think I read somewhere that Nino purposefully added noise to make it sound like it does, like an old-time recording. Try listening to all of them and see what you think. ^_^
As for "Nouzen Katsura", it is a type of red-orange flower that blooms in summer. (Pictured here) Apparently, Yuko found a poem written by her grandmother after her husband had passed away and made the song in memory of them.
Kanji:
撫でて 優しく のうぜんかつらの唄ように
あなたは何を見てたの？
ソーダ水越しでは
あなたが揺れちゃって
私は迷っちゃって
いつか一人になって
二人の時間も泡みたいになって
あなたの匂いをひとり探していた
そして手は探る
あなたといた街思い出せなくなる前に
声を聴かせて 笑顔を見せて 肌を伝えて
そして赤い花空に舞うたびに
あたしとつないだ手と手
道で揺らして このまま二人 続くよと言って
声を聴かせて 笑顔を見せて 肌を伝えて
撫でて 優しく あの日のようにうまく笑うから
Romanji:
Nadete Yasashiku Nouzen katsura no uta no you ni
Anata nani wo miteta no?
So-da sui goshi de wa
Anata ga yurechatte
Atashi wa mayocchatte
Itsuka hitori ni natte
Futari no jikan mo awa mitai ni natte
Anata no nioi wo hitori sagashite ita
Soshite te wa saguru
Anata to ita machi omoidasenaku naru mae ni
Koe wo kikasete Egao wo misete Hada wo tsutaete
Soshite akai hana sora ni mau tabi ni
Atashi to tsunaida te to te
Michi de yurashite Kono mama futari Tsudzuku to itte
Koe wo kikasete Egao wo misete Hada wo tsutaete
Nadete Yasashiku Ano hi no you ni umaku warau kara
English:
Stroke my hand, gently Just like the song of the "nouzen katsura"
What did you see?
Across from our glasses of soda water
You swayed
And I hesitated
Someday I'll become alone
The time we spent together became like bubbles
And I searched for your scent alone
And then, I fumble around
Before I can't recall the towns we went to
Let me hear your voice Show me your smile Convey it to my skin
And then, every time the red flowers fluttered in the sky
You held hands with me
Swinging them while walking on the street "We'll always be together," you said
Let me hear your voice Show me your smile Convey it to my skin
Stroke my hand, gently Just like the song of the "nouzen katsura"
