"Zankoku na tenshi no TEEZE"
(Cruel Angels Thesis)
Neon Genesis Evangelion Opening Theme Song


zankoku na tenshi no you ni shounen yo shinwa ni nare

	Like an atrocious angel, boy, you be a myth!

aoi kaze ga ima mune no DOA [door] wo tataite mo
watashi dake wo tada mitsumete hohoenderu anata
sotto fureru mono motomeru koto ni muchuu de
unmei sae mada shiranai itaike na hitomi

	Although the blue wind knocks on the door of the heart,
	Only staring at me and smiling are you.
	Something gently touching. Busy at seeking it.
	Being not aware of the destiny, the eye of infancy.

dakedo itsuka kizuku deshou sono senaka ni wa
haruka mirai mezasu tame no hane ga aru koto

	Nevertheless you will find that, at your back,
	there are wings to head the far future.

*zankoku na tenshi no TEEZE [German: Theses]
madobe kara yagate tobitatsu
hotobashiru atsui PATOSU [Greek: pathos]de
omoide wo uragiru nara
kono sora [kanji: uchuu] wo daite
kagayaku shounen yo shinwa ni nare

	* The Thesis of an atrocious angel.
	From the window, someday you will depart to travel.
	With the out-grushing hot pathos,
	if you betray your memories,
	Holding this sky and shining,
	boy you be a myth.

zutto nemutteru watashi no ai no yurikago
anata dake ga yume no shisha ni yobareru asa ga kuru
hosoi kubisuji wo tsukiakari ga utsushiteru
sekaijuu no toki wo tomete tojikometai kedo

	Sleeping for long time, in the cradle of my love.
	The morning will come when only shall be vocated to a
	missionary person for love.
	The moon light make the nape of your neck visible.
	Stopping the time all over the world, I wish to enclose them!

moshimo futari aeta koto ni imi ga aru nara
watashi wa sou jiyuu wo shiru tame no BAIBURU [Bible]

	If the encounter of us two means something,
	I must be, yes, the bible to know freely.

zankoku na tenshi no TEEZE [German: These] kanashimi ga soshite hajimaru
dakishimeta inochi no katachi sono yume ni mezameta toki
dareyorimo hikari wo hanatsu shounen yo shinwa ni nare

	The Thesis of an atrocious angel. The sadness shall, then, begin.
	The shape of life you hold. When you awakened to seek that dream,
	Better Emitting light than anyone else, boy you be a myth.

hito wa ai wo tsumugi nagara rekishi wo tsukuru
megami nante narenai mama watashi wa ikiru

	Spinning loves, people make a history.
	Without such a godess, I will live.

"Fly Me to The Moon"
Neon Genesis Evangelion Ending Song


Fly me to the moon,
and let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars.
In other words, hold my hand!
In other words, darling, kiss me!

Fill my heart with song,
and let me sing forever more.
You are all I long for, all I worship and adore.
In other words, please be true!
In other words, I love you!

"Repeat Song"

Tamashii no refrain
(Soul Refrain)
Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death and Rebirth Theme Song


watashi ni kaerinasai kioku wo tadori
yasashisa to yume no minamoto e

	Return to me, flowing through memories
	With gentleness to the source of the dream
	Shine to the stars once more, to be born...

tamashii no rufuran

	Soul refrain

aoi kage ni tsutsumareta suhada ga
toki no naka de shizuka ni furueteru
inochi no yukue o toikakeru you ni
yubisaki wa watashi o motomeru

	Naked skin in blue shadows
	Silently trembling inside of time
	As if seeking to know the whereabouts of life
	Your fingertip searches me

dakishimeteta unmei no anata wa
kisetsu ni saku marude hakanai hana
kibou no nioi o mune ni nokoshite
chiri isogu azayakana sugata de

	The you that was being embraced by fate
	Blooms in season like the ephemeral flower
	Holding the scent of hope in your chest
	Scattering hurriedly in splendid form

* watashi ni kaerinasai umareru mae ni
anata ga sugoshita daichi e to
kono te ni kaerinasai meguriau tame
kiseki wa okoru yo nando demo

	Return to me, before you were born
	You passed over the earth
	Return to this hand, to meet again
	Miracles happen, but how often?

tamashii no rufuran

	Soul refrain

inoru you ni mabuta tojita toki ni
sekai wa tada yami no soko ni kieru
soredemo kodou wa mata ugokidasu
kagiri aru eien wo sagashite

	When you closed your eyes as if in prayer
	The world just disappears there into the darkness
	Even so, the heartbeat again starts to move
	Searching for a constrained eternity

watashi ni kaerinasai kioku wo tadori
yasashisa to yume no minamoto e
anata mo kaerinasai aishiau tame
kokoro mo karada mo kurikaesu

	Return to me, flowing through memories
	With gentleness to the source of the dream
	You, too, return, to meet and love,
	Heart and body repeat

tamashii no rufuran

	Soul refrain

* Repeat

Mugen Houyou
(Eternal Embrace)


hanabira ga
kaze ni yurete ochiru you ni
inochi wa tada hakanakute
a... daichi e to kiete yuku
	Like fireworks
	shaking in the wind and falling
	Life is only fleeting...
	Ah... disappearing into the earth

kanashimi wa
togireta miraide wa naku
omoide no kohako no sumini
wasurete yukareru koto
	Sadness isn't
	an interrupted future.
	It's something that will be forgotten
	in the corner of your little box of memories

* aisaretai ima ijou ni
fukaku tsuyoku motomeai
sono kokoro ni sono hitomi ni
watashi ga ita shirushi wo nokoshite
	I want to be loved, more than I am now.
	I want that so deeply, so strongly
	Leaving behind some sign that I was there
	in your heart, in your eyes.

taiyou ga
chiheisen ni okeru you ni
saigo made kireina mama 
a... watashi wo utsushite tai
	Like the sun
	melting into the horizon,
	I want to reflect myself...
	Ah... beautiful until the end.

atataka na
ude no naka ni nemutteru
eien wo te ni iretakute
onna wa mamono ni naru
	Sleeping
	within warm arms,
	Wanting to take eternity into her hands,
	a woman becomes an apparition.

aisaretai ima tashika na
kimochi	dake wo wakachiai
kono suhada wo kono toiki wo
mugen ni daite-ite ne onegai
	I want to be loved. Now, I just want to
	share these certain feelings with you.
	This bare skin, this sigh...
	Embrace them for infinity, OK?  Please.

shiawase no katachi wa
itsu demo mienai kara
itai kurai motto anata ni
	Happiness' form
	is always unseen, so
	it's almost painful, the closer I am to you.

Yokan
(Presentiment)


samishisa nara nareteiru yo
umareta toki kara
demo me no mae ni
sashidasareta ude ni
omowazu kokoro yurete
	I'm getting used to the loneliness,
	ever since I was born.
	But within those arms
	that opened up before my eyes,
	my heart spontaneously trembles.

mabushii yokan ni hirogaru mirai o
kanjiteiru ai no sei de
tsuyokute yasashii naze da ka setsunai
kimochi no kakera dakishimete
Ah...anata ni  Ah...yorisou
	In a dazzling premonition,
	I feel the future unfolding
	Because of love	Strong and gentle
	Embracing pieces of feelings
	that are, for some reason, painful.
	Ah... Cuddled up... Ah... ...close to you

wasurete yuku tame ni itsumo
deai o kasaneta
sonna itami ni
kizukasete kureta ne
sono atatakana namida
	In order to forget, I always
	had one encounter after another...
	They did me a favor
	by making me aware of such pain...
	Those warm tears...

fushigi na yokan ni tomadoinagara mo
anata no te o nigirishimeru
hohoemu koto kara hajimete mitakute
nani ka ga kawaru  kono mune de
Ah...hikari ga	Ah...afureru
	Even as I lose my bearings
	in the wonderous premonition,
	I squeeze your hand.
	For the first time, I want to try
	starting from a smile
	and something changes here in my heart
	Ah... The light is... Ah... overflowing

Shiawase wa Tsumi no Nioi
(Happiness is the Smell of Sin)


What is the dream?   We have the dream now
What is the dream?   We make the dream come true

matteireba yume wa kanau hazu to
tada shinjiteta osanai hi
sora o nagareru hikari ni negai o kake
hohoemi nagara ima o tsumuideita
	When I was young, I simply believed
	that if I waited, my dream would come true.
	Making a wish to the light flowing from the sky,
	I smiled while weaving the present.

matteite mo yume wa kanawanai to
sou shitta no wa itsu no koro
yasashii hito wa kanashimi bakari seoi
omoide to iu yami ni umorete yoku
	Then I came to realize,
	that even if I wait, my dream will not come true.
	Kind people are burdened with nothing but sadness,
	being hidden/buried in the darkness called memories.

koboreru tsumi no nioi
doushite nani mo kizutsukezu ni
ai o mamorenai no
afureru uso no kakera
kono te ni daita shiawase ni wa
dare ka no namida shimiteru
	The overflowing smell of sin
	Why can't I protect love
	without hurting anyone's feelings?
	Shards of overflowing lies
	Someone's tears are seeping into
	the happiness I held in my hands.

tawamure no nai kokoro dake o motte
ko no sekai e to orita no ni
totta toki kara ushinau koto ni obie
yasuragi sae mo itsu ka teki ni mawasu
	Although I descended to this world
	with nothing but my heart, which is without amusement
	from the moment I held it, I'm afraid of losing it.
	Even tranquility some day turns to the enemy

nijinda tsumi no nioi
doushite nani mo hoshigarazu ni
ikite wa yukenai no
yuganda uso no kakera
mabushii asu o omoi nagara
nemurenu yoru o kazoeru
	The smell of sin that oozed out
	Why can't I live my life
	without coveting anyone?
	Shards of warped lies
	While dreaming of a brilliant tomorrow,
	I count the sleepless nights.

koboreru tsumi no nioi
doushite nani mo kizutsukezu ni
ai o mamorenai no
afureru uso no kakera
kono te ni daita shiawase ni wa
dare ka no namida shimiteru
	The overflowing smell of sin
	Why can't I protect love
	without hurting anyone's feelings?
	Shards of overflowing lies
	Someone's tears are seeping into
	the happiness I held in my hands.

What is the dream?   We have the dream now
What is the dream?   We make the dream...
What is the dream?   We have the dream now
What is the dream?   We make the dream come true

Kokoro yo genshi ni modore
(Heart! Return to the Beginning)


hikari yo daichi yo kiryuu yo....

	Light! Earth! Flowing air!...

kanashii hibi ga kaseki ni kawaru yo mousugu
anata no sono itami wo nemuri no mori heto
hisoyaka ni michibiiteageru
oyasumi subete ni ichizusugita mayoigotachi
hagayusa ga yume ni shinkasuru hi made

	Those sad days will soon become fossils
	And your pain will be secretly led
	to the forest of sleep
	Good night, all of you overly enthusiatstic stray children
	Until impatience makes the evolving days into your dreams

namida no kishi de zutto tatazunda kimochi wo
yasashiku tsutsumu you ni himitsu no kusuri ga
omoide no oki heto hakobu yo
oyasumi moraru ni yogoreteita yubi mo mimi mo
kono ude no naka de mou nemurinasai

	On the beach of tears, you constantly stand,
	as though gently concealing your feelings, the secret medicine
	Transporting them to the sea of memories
	Good night--your fingers and ears dirtied by morality
	Within your heart, let it sleep

inochi wa mabushii asa wo matteiru
yabureta seisho wo dakishimeru yori
itsuka jidai no yoru ga akeru
anata yo inori wo sutete
inochi wa mezamete toki wo tsumugidasu
shizen no ruuru ni sono mi wo makase
soshite hikari ga mune ni todoku
kokoro yo genshi ni modore

	Life is waiting for that dazzling morning
	Rather than holding on to your worn-out scriptures,
	Someday the dark era will break into dawn
	You! Cast away your prayers
	Life is awakening, spinning time itself
	Entrust yourself to the rule of nature
	And so, the light tells your heart
	Heart! Return to the beginning

inochi wa mabushii asa wo matteiru
saigo no zange mo kanawanai nara
itsuka jidai no yoru ga akeru
sekai yo mabuta wo tojite
inochi wa mezamete toki wo tsumugidasu
anata no shouko wo sakanoboru you ni
soshite hikari ga mune ni todoku
kokoro yo genshi ni modore

	Life is waiting for that dazzling morning
	Even if the final penitence doesn't come true
	Someday the dark era will break into dawn
	World! Close your eyes
	Life is awakening, spinning time itself
	Like returning to your proof
	And so, the light tells your heart
	Heart! Return to the beginning

Thanatos ~If I Can't Be Yours~




Now its time, I fear to tell I've been holding it back so long
But something strange deep inside of me is happening
I feel unlike I've ever felt And its making me scared
That I may not be what I think I am

What of us, what do I say
Are we both from a different world
Cos every breath that I take, I breathe it for you
I couldn't face my life without you
And I'm so afraid. There's nothing to comfort us
What am I, if I can't be yours

I don't sleep, don't feel a thing
And my senses have all but gone
Can't even cry from the pain, can't shed a tear now I realise
We're not the same and it's making me sad
Cos we can't fufill our dreams (in the life)

So I must, let us break free I can never be what you need If
there was a way, through the hurt then I would fint it I'd take the
blows. Yes I would fight it But this is the one. Impossible dream
to love What am I, if I can't be yours.

Performed by: Loren & Mash




Komm Suesser Tod




I know, I know I've let you down
I've been a fool to myself
I thought I could live for no one else
But not through all the hurt and pain
Its time for me to respect the ones you love
mean more than anything
So with sadness in my heart
I feel the best thing I could do
is end it all and leave forever
whats done is done, it feels so bad
what once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again
my world is ending

I wish that I could turn back time
cos now the guilt is all mine
cant live without the trust from the ones you love.
I know we can't forget the past
you cant forget love and pride
because of that its killing me inside

It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down,
it all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down, letting me down,
in my heart of hearts,
I know that I called never love again
I've lost everything everything
that matters to me,
matter in this world

I wish that I could turn back time
cos now all the guilt is mine can't live without
the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
you can't forget love and pride
because of that, its killing me inside

It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
it all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
it all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down, letting me down

Love Antique

I am just about to forget you.
Once there was summer of color crimson lake.
All it took to confess was a word.
All it took to express was a kiss.

When love was young between us.
I wasn't too proud to wait for carrousels.
You whispered you would make me a day.
Like no day had been in my life.

* You let me feel I was turned on.
You had me feel I was only one.
You made me feel I was loved by the whole world.

I never said that I was in love.
You never held me in your arms.
Never made love, we never dared to.

I am just about to forget you.
Once there was winter of color horizon blue.
All I knew, you were there beside me.
All I saw, our shadows on the path.

I love you so, still I know I do.
I trust you so, yet I know I do.
I want you so, true like ice, true like fire.

To keep my mind sharp and bright,
To keep my heart cold and tight,
To keep my love alone and free,
I shall leave.

* repeat and fade
