Eternity
English Opening Song
Music: Akino Nii'i
Lyrics: Linda Hennrick
Arrangement: Mitsuo Hagita br> Vocal: Maya Sakamoto
Romanization: Takayama Miyuki
Translation by: Takayama Miyuki

Caught by the moonlight
A silent mist, a shimmer in the trees
Oh what a night for dreams, a night of destiny
Others are sleeping
So unaware of magic in the air
Magic you were
just for me

Io sono prigioniera [1]

Sweet fascination
Though I don't understand the words you say
You whisper soft and low, and I am swept away

Touch of enchantment
I tremble when you hold me close this way
Drawn like a moth
to a flame

Io sono prigioniera
My fate is in your arms tonight
Though love is shining in your eyes, will you be mine tomorrow?

Io sono prigioniera
My heart will nevermore be free
A part of you I'll always be, from now until eternity

[Instrumental]

Deep as the ocean
With every kiss, I'm deeper in your spell
Love me again tonight, you are my one desire

Waves of emotion
I know that this is where I want to be
Locked in your arms
With no key

Io sono prigioniera
My fate is in your arms tonight
Though love is shining in your eyes, will you be mine tomorrow?

Io sono prigioniera
My heart will nevermore be free
A part of you I'll always be, from now until eternity

Notes:
[1] "Io sono prigioniera" means "I am a prisoner" in Italian.

Translation Notes:
Hey, I don't write these songs, I just translate them... ^_^v
[1] "Toki" (time) is the reading given for the kanji for "unmei" (fate)

[2] "Nami" (wave) is the reading given for the kanji for "haran" (troubles, ups and downs).

[3] "Toki" (time) is the reading given for the kanji for "meiun" (fate, doom)

[4] "Hana" (flower) is the reading given for the kanji for "nogusa" (wild grasses)

[5] "Hisuji" (ray of light) is the reading given for the kanji for "kousen" (which also means ray of light)

[6] "Tabibito" (travellers) is the reading given for the kanji for "minjin" (people)

[7] "Kaina" (arms) is the reading given for the kanji for "ude" (arms)

[8] This line literally just says "gently permeate"... it doesn't say *what* they permeate... So I just interpreted it to mean permeating the earth. (It could also be permeate "all things," or something else... it's not specifically stated...)
