Little Bird (Kotori)
 
song: Tony Mansfield/ lyrics: Mimori Yusa

Once my scars had seemed to heal
You turned to me, told me to fly
As you softly unlocked my birdcage
And then opened the door wide

 

kizu ga naottara
tobitachi nasai to
torikago no kagi o sotto
anata ga hiraita


Had you thought to keep me here
To sing forever by your side
And had clipped my little wings for me
Then I wouldn't mind but...

 

zutto kono heya de
utawasetai nara
kono hane kitte kuretara
ii no ni...

Now I know I must go
I've got to say goodbye
Farewell to you

 

sayonara mou
I've got to say goodbye
Sayonara

Oh so brilliantly blue, I fly and wonder just how far the new sky stretches to
It's something nobody can say
Up, so high up I go, but how will I know where to fly now that I'm all alone?
And for who's sake do I fly?
Love's a cage

 

aoku aoku, sora wa doko made tsuzuite iru no ka
dare mo wakaranai
takaku takaku, hitori doko made tondara ii no ka?
dare no tame ni
Love is a cage

When you saw my injured wings
You took me to you, held me tight
I wonder if somebody will finally come
Who can cure you lonely heart

 

kisutsuita tsubasa
dakiagete kureta
anata no sabishisa dare ka
iyashite kureru no

If you but notice that my pain
Is just like yours, that we're the same
Then I could take your hand up within mine
And not let go but...

 

onnaji itami ni
kizutsuite kuretara
sono te o hanasanakute mo
ii no ni...

Now I know I must go
I've got to say goodbye
Farewell to you

 

sayonara mou
I've got to say goodbye
Sayonara

Oh so brilliantly blue, I fly and wonder just how far the new sky stretches to
It's something nobody can say
Up, so high up I go, but how will I know where to go now that I'm all alone?
Too dazzling and bright...
Love's a cage

 

aoku aoku, sora wa doko made tsuzuite iru no ka
dare mo wakaranai
takaku takaku, hitori doko made tondara ii no ka?
mabushisugite
Love is a cage

Oh so brilliantly blue, I fly and wonder just how far the new sky stretches to
It's something nobody can say
Up, so high up I go, but how will I know where to go now that I'm all alone?
For who's sake do I fly?

 

aoku aoku, sora wa doko made tsuzuite iru no ka
dare mo wakaranai
takaku takaku, hitori doko made tondara ii no ka?
dare no tame ni

Oh so brilliantly blue, I fly and wonder just how far the new sky stretches to
It's something nobody can say
Up, so high up I go, but how will I know where to go now that I'm all alone?
So please don't let me go
Love's a cage

All you need is a cage.........

 

aoku aoku, sora wa doko made tsuzuite iru no ka
dare mo wakaranai
takaku takaku, hitori doko made tondara ii no ka?
hanasanaide
Love is a cage

All you need is a cage.....

 

I love Mimori Yusa dearly.
For one of my drama projects I developed a silent skit based on this, and became the bird...only because I am me I had the sky sink down and crush me in the end. The teacher said it was very wabi sabi kabuki, and that every time I perform she sees cherry petals falling around me.

Which makes it a double shame I went into econ.
I like acting, I like directing, I like bossing people around, making pretty things and organizing stuff...but I HATE money.
Not that I don't like having money mind you. But I really don't, and I hate that too. Argh need good job!!! When I apply I almost always get called, but I can't find anything to apply for...
