Samba of the Night

About This Song:
Series:	Sakura Wars
Placement:	Ayame Fujieda Song
Japanese Title:	Yoru no Samba
Time:	4:11
Style:	Samba
English Lyrics:	Jessica Lo

I still think not enough people know of Sakura Taisen. That game/anime easily has some of the best songs I've ever heard. While this song has a nice beat (and Orikasa Ai singing wonderfully), it was hard to retain the meaning while making the lines fit. The translation was quite wordy. Ayame turns into an enemy late in the Sakura Taisen game, so the lyrics came as no surprise. I hope I managed to convey the seductive feeling in these words, though.

Samba of the Night

Weak heart of thine, I'll make you mine And inflict pain upon you Oh, swaying fast, my heart swings past Shaking hard when I see you Suspiciously inviting me Can this really be? Heart beating, a tune just right The samba of the night... PAYA PAYA Even though I shake, shyly in your wake This blossom remains a flower darkly stained Taking a new risk, lifting my lips for a kiss Aa, it's a night samba Giving up souls, devil's control Joining the river of death Burning arrow, pure black it shows Crackling out its last breath Finding my true self at last Burning down the past Heart beating, faster tonight The samba of the night... PAYA PAYA Even though I shake, shyly in your wake This blossom remains a flower darkly stained Taking a new risk, lifting my lips for a kiss Aa, it's a night samba Heart beating, a tune just right The samba of the night... PAYA PAYA Even though I shake, shyly in your wake This blossom remains a flower darkly stained Taking a new risk, lifting my lips for a kiss Aa, it's a night samba
