[Lyrics + rough translation] Inoue Joe – hitomi -HE TOLD ME-
Original lyrics taken from here.
Romaji by me. And Google. AND Monash University’s Online Japanese Dictionary. MONASH IS GREAT!!
I love his album to bits. This was the first song I played from the whole album and I LOVE LOVE LOVED it the moment it started playing. Catch it [listen to the song] if you can! I might be posting more lyrics from the album if I come across more songs I must sing along to…
The title’s like a cool cross-cultural pun!
Please leave a comment if there are any corrections that should be made ^^. I’ll get to it ASAIC…
[ROMAJI]

[ROUGH TRANSLATION]
I was flying in the sky, when
I woke up from my dream, the light’s shining down on me.
From this moment on I stopped falling back to sleep,
The light’s shining down on me.
Now I want to say,
How I much was fascinated by those eyes.
I just wanna show,
How much I’ve been fascinated by those eyes.
I was dancing and dancing,
While holding hands with the dewy-eyed forest nymph
[Dewy-eyed - synonym for innocent]
I was amazed
By the light that shines down on her pulchritudinous beautiful body
[^ HAD TO BE DONE. I learned a new word!]
Now I want to say,
How I much was fascinated by those eyes.
I just wanna show,
How much I’ve been fascinated by those eyes.
Now I want to say,
How I much was fascinated by those eyes.
I just wanna show,
How much I’ve been fascinated by those eyes.
I just wanna show, how much those eyes…
I just wanna show, how much those eyes…
