Macross II: Lovers Again
Song Lyrics

2 okunen mae no you ni shizuka da ne
(Hush of 200 million years)
Macross II OP

Sung by: Kaneko Mika
Lyrics: Mana Anju

yokogao miru to omou
anata wo suki to omou
ima sekai ga owatta tte
oshiku wa nai wa
	I think I see your profile
	I think I like you
	If the world would end right now,
	I'd have no regrets.

urusai SHAI na yuu'utsu
NOIZU no mukougawa ni
mimi wo sumaseba ai ga
konna ni chikaku
	It's noisy, so I go into a shy depression...
	But if I listen carefully,
	across all the noise,
	love gets so much closer.

ni okunen mae no you ni shizuka da ne
Ah kotoba nante nanimo iranai kara
	It's as quiet as it was 200 million years ago.
	Ah, because we don't need such things as words.

* futari ga hitori de
umarete-kita koto
wasureru kurai ni
senaka wo daite
	When I'm about to forget
	that the two of us
	were born as one,
	please embrace me from behind.

* ano toki ichido wa kimeta SAYONARA wo
eien no yoru hoshi dake wa shitte-iru kedo
	At one time back then, I decided to say sayonara.
	Only the stars know that eternal night.

fureau hada no atsusa
sore dake kanjite-itai
machikado de kobande'ta
watashi ga iru no
	The heat of our skin touching
	is all I want to feel.
	But I'm here,
	stood up at the street corner.

suikomare-sou ni tooi sora no hate
Ah mirai datte koi wa onaji hazu ne
	Moving through to the vast reaches of the distant sky...
	Ah, even in the future love is the same.

futari wa hitori ja
ikite irarenai
dakara namida yori
anata no soba e
	Neither one of us
	can live alone,
	so I want to be closer to you
	than these tears.

hanarete-ita hi wa
kesenai keredo
kono nukumori wo
tsugunai no
MERODI- ni shite
	The day we parted
	will never be erased from my heart, but
	I'll make this warmth
	into a melody
	to make amends.

* Repeat

Macross II IS

Sung by: Satou Tomoyo
Lyrics: Shiramine Mitsuko

nee  watashi ga PINCHI na toki wa
hanarete'te mo wakaru desho
anata ni shika mienai
fushigi na SAIN
	Say, when I'm in trouble,
	you'll know, even if you're far away, right?
	A wonderous sign
	that can be seen by none but you.

kaze mitai ni kimagure da mono
tojikometari dekinai kedo
ki mama na anata ga suki
	You're capricious, like the wind
	and can't be contained
	but I like that you're carefree.

watashi no koto wasurete shimau kurai
muchuu na mono ga nakutcha ne
	When you forget about me,
	you end up losing all you've dreamed of.

COME ON! COME ON!
COME ON! COME ON!

* BARUKURI- ni notte
ima sugu mukae ni kite
anata to nara kitto
donna toko mo ikeru wa
	Riding in your valkyrie
	Hurry up and come to meet me
	As long as I'm with you,
	I can go however far I want.

nagareboshi wo oikoshite
yume no naka e tsurete tte
	Chasing after shooting stars...
	Take me away into my dreams!

moshi anata ga sabishii toki wa
hanarete'te mo wakaru kara
dokodemo hashitte-yuku
	If you ever feel lonely,
	I'll know, even if I'm far away.
	I'll come running to you, no matter where you are.

dakara yosomi wo shita nara
yurusanai wa
mukou sune wo ketobasu ka mo
	So if your eyes have strayed,
	I'll never forgive you!
	I think I'll launch you with that kick-off you deserve!

COME ON! COME ON!
COME ON! COME ON!

** BARUKURI- ni notte
watashi wo sarai ni kite
anata to nara kitto
donna koto mo dekiru wa
	Riding in your valkyrie
	Come and sweep me away.
	As long as I'm with you,
	I can do anything!

BIRU no mure wo yokogitte
yume no naka e tsurete tte
	Crossing over the crowds of buildings
	Take me away into my dreams!

COME ON! COME ON!
COME ON! COME ON!

	I force	my exhausted body awake,
	and slowly walk forward.

	In the midst of a light that's oh so bright
	I kept waiting to see your silhouette.

natsukashii you na deai da ne
	Please be close to me. Please smile.
	Even in a stormy night Even in a clear morning
	I feel like we've known since a long time ago...
	A one chance encounter that seems nostalgic.

soba ni ite mimamotte
nakitai toki ni wa mune wo kashite
	Please be close to me. Please watch over me.
	When I feel like crying, lend me your heart.

omou yori tsuyokunai
anata no koe wo kiite itai
konna hi wa
	I'm not as strong as I thought.
	On days like this,
	I want to hear your voice.

uchikudakareta kokoro no itami
me wo tojireba kiete-yuku
	I've crushed the pain in my heart.
	When I close my eyes, it disappears.

Ima wa Tomodachi
(Only Your Friend)
Macross II IS

Sung by: Satou Tomoyo
Lyrics: Tania Hiroko

suki na hito ga ita nante
maru de shiranakatta
anata ga omoi wo tsugete
koi wo nakushita no mo
	I had no idea
	that you had a person you loved
	And I had no idea as well
	that you had your love denied

futari wa dare yori mo mijika ni iru
tomodachi dake to omotta kedo
mae yuku anata ga kyuu ni mienaku naru
	I thought the two of us were just friends
	that were closer than anyone.
	but then you suddenly disappear from right in front of me

tabun koi na no
itsu kara ka wakaranai
anata ga suki
	Maybe it's love, I don't know.
	I don't know when I started feeling this way, but
	I love you.

dakedo kowakute
kidzukarenai you ni shite-ita no
	But so that you won't realize
	that I'm scared, I've been...

zutto kono mama
kimochi wo kakusu koto wa
dekinai kedo
	I can't go on
	always hiding my feelings
	like this, but...

nido to tomodachi
modorenaku nari-sou de ienai
aishite'ru
	I can't say the words
	Because we can never go back to being friends if I say
	"I love you."

anata wa nanimo iwazu ni
tooku mitsumete-iru
tabun anata mo watashi to
onaji kataomoi ne
	You're quietly gazing
	off into the distance
	Maybe you're just like me,
	with a love that goes unanswered.

ima wa namida yori mo
egao wa sukoshi tsurai kedo
gaman suru wa
gikochinai shigusa no wake mo itsuka wakaru
	Right now, it's harder for me to smile
	than to cry,
	but I'll bear it.
	Maybe someday you'll realize why I'm so awkward around you.

donna toki demo
tabun itsudemo watashi
koko ni iru yo
	I will always be
	right here for you,
	no matter what.

dakara kidzuite
watashi no mune no oku no honki wo
	So please, realize
	the sincerity that lies in the depths of my heart.

anata no suki na
hito wo shiranakatta no wa
kanashii kedo
	It's so sad
	that you didn't know
	there was someone who loves you.

itsuka yuuki wo
dashite anata no mae de iu kara
aishite'ru
	Since someday, I'll be brave,
	and be able to face you and say
	"I love you"

sotto shimatte'ta
takaramono mitai na kono kimochi
azuketai
anata ni
	These feelings are like precious treasures
	quietly sealed away
	and I want to give them
	to you.

tabun koi na no
itsu kara ka wakaranai
anata ga suki
	Maybe it's love, I don't know.
	I don't know when I started feeling this way, but
	I love you.

Koi no Banana Moon
(Banana Moon Love)

Sung by: Satou Yuka
Lyrics: Yokota Takeshi

yaketa HA-TO ga SHO-TO suru hodo
konna ni mune ga
tokimeite-iru no ni
	My chest is pounding so fast
	it seems like
	my burnt-out heart's going to short out.

nemui JO-KU de jirasanaide yo
dokuiri no KISU de
shibiretai no
	Don't irritate me with your tired jokes.
	I want you to numb me
	with poisoned lips

Ah anata wo aishite'ru
nijuuyo jikan
Shine on you!
	Ah I love you
	All around the clock, I'll
	shine on you!

* koi no jumon de
manazashi wo hitorijime yo
dakara nee
dakishimete-ite
	With a spell of love
	I'll keep your gaze all to myself
	So, come on...
	hold me.

* aoi BANANA mo
mikadzuki ni kubittake yo
hayaku hora
ubawanakya dame na no
	Even a green banana
	falls head over heels for the crescent moon.
	Hurry up! Hey!
	I guess I'll just have to steal you away...

uso wo tsuku no ga heta na kuchibiru
tenshi ga kureta
adokenai RANDEBU
	My lips just aren't any good at lying.
	An innocent rendezvous
	given to us by an angel.

fui ni MU-DO ga shizumikomu kara
UINKU wo kimete
neraiuchi yo
	Suddenly, the mood's sinking so,
	with a wink,
	I've got you in my sight!

Ah sekai ga kagayaite'ru
yume no naka made
Shine on me!
	Ah The world is shining
	into my very dreams
	Shine on me!

** koi no binetsu ga
fushigi na chikara ni kawaru
dakara nee
tsukamaete-ite
	The fever of love
	changes into a wonderous power
	So, come on...
	catch me!

** aoi BANANA mo
mikadzuki to o-niai da wa
ima wa mada
nemuritakunai no yo
	Even a green banana
	suits the crescent moon well.
	I don't want to
	go to sleep at all yet!

Lyrics: Matsumiya Kyouko

	Will those warm feelings
	never return?
	Pieces of my dream
	slip through
	my fingers

dakedo ima dakedo dokoka tooku

tooi yume kasuka na ai dakedo
mou ichido Love You
	But now, but somewhere distantly
	I can feel love.
	It may be a distant dream, a dim love but
	once more, I love you.

kuzure ochita maboroshi kirameita ano omokage mo
kaze no uta ni furimuku kedo
sugita hibi wa kiete
	Those shattered visions and traces of the past once shined.
	I turn my face toward a song on the wind
	but those days gone by have disappeared.

dakedo ima dakedo mune no oku ni ai wa nagareru
tooi sora haruka na toki kitto 
mou ichido Love You
	But now, love flows through the depths of my heart.
	A distant sky, a far-off time...but without a doubt
	once more, I love you.

Don't say never again
kurikaesu MERODI- no inori wa
donna tooku ni hanarete-ite mo todoku kara...
	Don't say never again
	because this melody I repeat in prayer
	will reach you no matter how far apart we are...

itsu no hi ka itsuka tooi basho de
ai wo kawasu no
tooi yume kasuka na ai dakedo
mou ichido Love You
	Someday, sometime in a distant place
	will we be able to share love?
	It may be a distant dream, a dim love but
	once more, I love you.

itsu no hi ka itsuka tooi basho de
ai wo kawasu no
tooi sora haruka na toki koete
mou ichido Dream Again
	Someday, sometime in a distant place
	will we be able to share love?
	Crossing over distant skies and far-off time,
	once more, dream again.
