Angela Aki - “One Melody” (English Translation) lyrics

[Verse 1]
If this is true love
It'd be okay to let go of the one I love
Then if he comes back, it’s fate
And if he doesn't, it's fate

[Pre-Chorus]
I foolishly held on to you
And said one thing to you
My dreams and ideals were shattered
My sadness turned into hopelessness
And hopelessness turned into a facade
When I said “Goodbye” to you

[Chorus]
There is just one melody
The sound of the world fades out
And one song lingered, oh
And it was just one melody
It was the sound of me throwing away my pride
Telling you, “I’m sorry”
La-la-la-la-la

[Verse 2]
All by myself, I went back
To the beach we used to walk on together
The memories sinking into the water
As the waves crash
[Pre-Chorus]
I couldn't get used to be alone
And always wondered what you were doing
But I couldn't pick up the phone to ask you
Maybe it's time to move on, I thought
And fall in love with someone else
But my heart wouldn't budge

[Chorus]
There is just one melody
The laughter of the crowd could not
Drown out the sound of this melody, oh
It was just one melody
From the depths of my memories, I can hear the sound
F you calling out my name
La-la-la-la-la, oh

[Bridge]
Oh
Maybe it's time to move on, I thought
And fall in love with someone else
But my heart wouldn't budge

[Chorus]
There is just one melody
The sound of the world fades out
And one song lingered
Just one melody
The laughter of the crowd could not
Drown out the sound of this melody, oh
Just one melody
Surely this song will last forever
In the distance, a bird rises and descends
Returning once more, to sing the song called “I love you”
La-la-la-la-la
[Outro]
If this is true love it'd be okay to let go of the one I love
