Angela Aki - This Love

「愛があれば平和だ」と誰かが口にしていた
頷く人もいれば、疑う人もいる

“ai ga areba heiwada” to dareka ga kuchi ni shiteita
unazuku hito mo ireba, utagau hito mo iru

Someone used to say, “When there’s love, there’s peace”
There are those who agree, and those who disagree

苦しみがあるからこそ
あなたを抱きしめる時
その腕の優しさを平和と感じるのでしょう

kurushimi ga aru kara koso
anata wo dakishimeru toki
sono ude no yasashi sa wo heiwa to kanjiru no deshou

Whenever I’m in pain
You would hug me
It’s in those warm arms where I felt peace

ある時から無口になり心を締め切り
この恋が引き裂かれそうになった

aru toki kara mukuchi ni nari kokoro wo shimekiri
kono koi ga hikisakare sou ni natta

Since then I’ve become silent and closed off my heart
This love seems to have torn apart

重ねたこの手を
今度は離さない
信じる力が
愛を自由にする

kasaneta kono te wo
kondo wa hanasa nai
shinjiru chikara ga
ai wo jiyuu ni suru

This hand this time
Will not let go
Because the strength to belief
Will set love free

友情に救われたり、未来を想像したり
幸せは見えるけれど　自分を見る事はない

yuujou ni sukuwaretari, mirai wo souzou shitari
shiawase wa mieru keredo jibun wo miru koto wa nai

When you helped me as a friend, I can imagine our future
I see happiness in store but I failed to notice my own issues

約束と言う私達のコンパスだけでは
この恋は方角を見失うの

yakusoku to iu watashitachi no konpasu dakedewa
kono koi wa hougaku wo miushinau no

Though we said that the promise is to be our compass
We lose sight of the direction this love is heading

奇跡を待つより
この手をつなぎたい
信じる力が
私を自由にする

kiseki wo matsu yori
kono te wo tsunagitai
shinjiru chikara ga
watashi wo jiyuu ni suru

Instead of waiting for a miracle
I want you to hold my hand
Because the strength to belief
Will set love free

この恋を恐れずに
You don’t have to fear this love, this love

kono koi wo osorezu ni
you don’t have to fear this love, this love

You don’t have to fear this love
You don’t have to fear this love, this love

重ねたこの手を
今度は離さない
信じる力が
愛を自由にする

kasaneta kono te wo
kondo wa hanasa nai
shinjiru chikara ga
ai wo jiyuu ni suru

This hand this time
Will not let go
Because the strength to belief
Will set love free

奇跡を待つより
この手をつなぎたい
信じる力が
私を自由にする

kiseki wo matsu yori
kono te wo tsunagitai
shinjiru chikara ga
watashi wo jiyuu ni suru

Instead of waiting for a miracle
I want you to hold my hand
Because the strength to belief
Will set love free
