華麗的冒險

When I first heard of this song, this group "Zone" already disbanded (they officially disbanded on April 1, 2005 ). I started to find some more songs on youtube and lyrics translation but I guess only bits and pieces left. Regardless, I think this song really bring back memories. It remind me of many things......


*******************************
ZONE – secret base~What You’ve Given Me~

Lyrics: Machida Norihiko
Music: Machida Norihiko

*I won’t forget the end of summer with you
Or our hopes and dreams for the future
I believe in my heart we’ll meet again in August, ten years from now

You’ve given me the best memories…

Our meeting was a sudden moment at a crossing on my way home
When you called out, “Let’s walk home together”
I must have seemed so awkward
Hiding my face behind my bag
The truth is I was so, so happy

Ah, the fireworks bloom beautifully in the night sky and it hurts a little
Ah, the wind passes by together with time

We had so many
Fun and happy adventures
Inside our own secret base

(Repeat*)

**I knew you were shouting, “Thank you”
From your heart until the very end
It hurts to smile and say goodbye
While fighting back tears, you’ve given me the best memories…

Ah, summer vacation’s almost over
Ah, so the sun and moon become friends

We had so many
Sad and lonely times and fights
Inside our own secret base

(Repeat**)

I suddenly and helplessly had to change schools
I’ll write you letters and call you
Don’t forget about me
We’ll always be inside our secret base

We talked for a long time at summer’s end
Gazing at the stars after watching the sunset
I won’t ever forget the tears flowing down your cheeks
I’ll never forget you waving your hand for me until the very end
That’s why you’ll be in my dreams like this forever…

(Repeat*)
(Repeat**)

You’ve given me the best memories…
