Hoka no koto:

Ending theme from the second Card Captor Sakura movie, "Fuuin Sareta Ka-do." It's great in the movie because the song is timed to start at a key moment, and thus instills the viewer with a sappy yet uplifting sense of joy. Romaji and translation are both mine.

Ashita e no merodii

Todokete kono koe wo
Tsutaete ima sugu ni
Isoide koko ni kite
Kanjite mada mienu chikara shinjite hoshii no
Yume no tsuzuki ga hora
Utatteru ashita e no merodii

Todokete kono koe wo
Tsutaete ima sugu ni
Isoide koko ni kite
Fushigi na natsukashii kodou kikoeteiru deshou?
Tooi kioku wo ima
Tsunaideku monogatari ga hajimaru

Ienakatta kotoba
Ryoute ni afureteru
Kokoro no daiarii
Mekureba itsumo
Anata ga soba ni Ita no

Mienai yakusoku de
Deatta watashitachi
Oshitete sono wake wo
Ano hi no chikai wo ima mo oboeteiru deshou?
Miageta sono sora ni
Dokomade mo kibou no niji wo kakeyou

*Todokete kono koe wo
Tsutaete ima sugu ni
Isoide koko ni kite
Kanjite mune no binetsu wo wakatteita deshou?
Yume no tsuzuki ga hora
Utatteru ashita e no merodii

Koi wo suru kiseki
Himitsu wo hodoite
Anata no moto e
Hashiru

Todokete kono koe wo
Tsutaete ima sugu ni
Hajimete mita you na
Shiranai kagayaku mirai sagashi ni ikimashou
Nanimo osorenaide
Isshou nara kujikezu ni ikeru kara

A Melody to Tomorrow

I send my voice
Let it reach you now
Come quickly
Feel this--I want you to believe in a power that's still invisible
The continuation of a dream--listen
It's singing a melody to tomorrow

I send my voice
Let it reach you now
Come quickly
Somehow, mysteriously, you can hear that longed-for heartbeat, can't you?
A story that will bring together
Distant memories is beginning

Those words I couldn't say
Are overflowing in my hands
The diary of my heart
When I turned the pages,
You were always there
By my side

The two of us met
Through an invisible promise
Tell me the reason
The vow we made that day
You still remember it, don't you?
All across the sky at which we were gazing
Let's draw a rainbow of hope

I send my voice
Let it reach you now
Come quickly
Feel this--you understood the fever in my heart, didn't you?
The continuation of a dream--listen
It's singing a melody to tomorrow

The miracle of loving someone
I'll unbind all my secrets
And run
To your side

I send my voice
Let it reach you now
It's like seeing for the first time
Let's go looking for a bright, unknown future,
Afraid of nothing,
Because if we're together, nothing will bring us down

*Repeat
