| I know almost nothing about this series. What I do know doesn't really turn me on to it. But at the same time, this song seemed to spread its way through the anime community, establishing itself as a favorite for anybody who relates to its message. With the song held in so much reverence, I knew I had to be careful when writing English lyrics for it. I think the extra care paid off in the end. | |||||||||||||||
Pure Snow
The snow is falling down from the heavens onto the streets below.
My breath is rising up to the sky to join all the clouds in flight.
And when I think of you all of my thoughts just seem to go.
And for some unknown reason, everything is right...
When I'm alone it seems that I can't get you off my mind.
When I'm with friends it seems that I wish that you were with me too.
If I am shopping somewhere it never fails that I will find,
That I look at some clothes that might look good on you.
Times when I am a giant fool.
Times when I forget to keep my cool.
Remind me again, you're still with my friend.
It doesn't matter that I'm in love with you...
But I see your eyes, I wish they'd say you want me so.
And my hopes will rise, then fall like
Pure snow, pure heart, destiny.
Like snow that fell when I first laid my eyes on you.
It hurts me more than anyone can know,
When I hold you close but have to let you go.
My heart aches, begging to be true.
We always talk about you, even when you are far away.
We always joke around; I always manage to fake a smile.
I always wear the mask, no matter how heavy it may weigh.
It's either love or friendship that I must defile.
Why are you the one I adore?
Why are you behind the one locked door?
That my heart can burn, but you can't return
The way I feel. I can't take it anymore.
And through all these lies, humiliations come and go.
And my feelings rise, and fall like...
Pure snow, pure heart, bravery.
Deliver me the strength to tell you how I feel.
Maybe for a moment I can be bold.
I'll jump in your arms and pretend I'm cold.
And I won't let go, until I know it's real.
Pure snow, pure heart, honesty.
Can't regret or forget the times that you made me cry.
And I know someday you will sympathize.
And I know someday you will realize
That the way I act is a lie.
Oh, pure snow, pure heart, destiny.
Like snow that fell when I first laid my eyes on you.
It hurts me more than anyone can know,
When I hold you close but have to let you go.
My heart aches, begging to be true.
