[HIKARU]
Sorani hikaru yukiwa marude tenshino shiroi hane dane
The snow glistening in the sky, as if it was an angel’s white wing
Machijyuuga yume mitaina watagashino iro shiawasesouna hitono nami
The whole town is a dreamy color of cotton candy, waves of
people who look happy
Imawa kokoni inai anata mewo tojite omidasu
You are not here now. I close my eyes, and remember
Yukino nai kuninimo todokuyoni kokorono oku tsubuyaku
I mumble, deep inside my heart, to reach to lands without snow
Merry Xmas
[UMI]
Yoruno umi mitaina marude tenshiga tobuyouna sora
Like the ocean at night, as if it were the skies angels flew in
Kinironi matataiteru hoshino kawarino machino akariga yume mitai
Glistening golden, the city substituting for the stars, the
lights are like a dream
Imawa mada aenai keredo kono kimochi wasurenai
I can’t see you yet, but I won’t forget how I’m feeling now
Taisetsuni muneno oku sodateru ienakatta kotobato
I’ll nurture it carefully deep in my heart, the words I
couldn’t say, and
Merry Xmas
[FUU]
Hohowo sugiteku kaze marude tenshino toikino youni
Wind blowing past my cheeks, as if they were sighs of angels
Heyano naka akari keshite miageru yozora
Turning out the lights in the room, and looking up at the
night sky
Ruriiro sunde yumeno you
A clear azure sky, like a dream
Imawa sobani inai anata hanaretemo wasurenai
You are not next to me now, I won’t forget even if we’re
far apart
Itsuka mata aeta hi tsutaetai muneno okuno omoito
I would like to tell you when we meet again, the feeling deep
in my heart and
Merry Xmas
[ALL THREE]
Keredo
But
Imawa kokoni inai anata mewo tojite omidasu
You are not here now. I close my eyes, and remember
Yukino nai kuni nimo todokuyou kokorono oku tsubuyaku
I mumble, deep inside my heart, to reach to lands without snow
Merry Xmas
Fuu (Rika Takahashi)’s translation notes: The first chorus Hikaru and the last chorus All Three *ARE* slightly different in Japanese although it’s the same meaning in English.
