Music Tracks From Wish
By Ali Project
Translation by Tara
Wish Original Soundtrack
Track 3: Chu Chu

Translator comments: This song doesnft actually have any direct relation to Wish itself, but itfs on the Wish soundtrack anyway. The notes in the beginning of the CD booklet say that after doing the other 4 non-BGM songs on the soundtrack, the two members of Ali Project realized they still hadnft come up with any Wish songs having to do with unrequited love. They then played around with random tunes on Arikafs Mac and Katakurafs guitar until they had Chu Chu. In Japanese, gChu Chuh is the sound that songbirds make. This is a reference to the birds mentioned in the song, and possibly to those which befriend Kohaku in Wish.

Chu Chu

un deux trois quatre (1)

One day when I woke up
Inside my heart
There was a faint pain
and a thought of you

Sha la la la through the window
The beams of sunlight
were dancing
More than any other morning
they sparkled
and everything
felt beautiful

This is sort of like
the way I loved you
But if you noticed
by now I would
firmly do nothing (2)

Chu Chu Chu Chu the birds are
singing of love
to my ears
While putting on my clothes
a tear suddenly fell
A single tear

Sha La La La everyone
all little girls
before we are born
are cute angels
I secretly recall that time

Chu Chu Chu Chu you
on your cheek, your chest
Ifll kiss you to sleep
More than any other night
I want to give you sweet dreams
Ah, right now

1. This is just counting from one to four in French. I didnft translate it because I figured most people would know this already.

2. Ifm actually not sure if this is whatfs being said in these last two lines. This stanza uses a verb form I was just barely touching upon when my study abroad semester in Japan ended.
