pretty mellow

[insaneneko]

Though I have not watched nor will probably ever watch the anime ARIA the Natural, I do like the music. The opening song Euforia is disgustingly peaceful and pretty. I even like the singer's high voice. The ending song Rainbow is also laid back, but with a lovely comfortable beat. Baracarole is one of those songs in a made-up language. It is lush and beautiful. *_*

Euforia
Rainbow
Baracarole ~a capella~

I couldn't find a translation for Euforia so I did a quick one. The lyrics are match the feel of the song very well.


ユーフォリア

窓からそっと　朝陽がのびて
まどろむまつ毛に　こぼれてくよ

そよふく風　部屋へと招いて
木漏れ日に　君の寝顔
優しくて　

いつものありふれた朝だけど
鮮やかに色づいてるよ
それは君と巡り合えた奇跡
ひとりじゃない
君と一緒にいるから

空からふっと　花びら揺れて
のばした手のひら　舞い降りたよ

行き交う船　しぶきを上げて
懐かしい　君の笑顔
会いたくて　

遥か遠く離れてる時も
暖かく息づいてるよ
それは君とつながっている奇跡
どこにいても
君と一緒にいるよ

生まれては消えてく
そう　変わりゆくものだけど
かけがえのない　この想いは
変わらない<いつまでも>変わらない<いつまでも>
きっと…

違う時間（とき）も違う空間（そら）も
輝きが広がってくよ
それは君と分かち合える奇跡
いつもそばに
君と一緒にいるから　
(Lyrics from here)

Euforia

Mado kara sotto asahi ga nobite
Madoromu matsuge ni koboretekuyo

Soyofuku kaze heya e to manuite
Komorebi ni kimi no negao
Yasashikute

Itsumono arifureta asa dakedo
Azayaka ni irozuiteruyo
Sore wa kimi to meguriaeta kiseki
Hitori ja nai
Kimi to issho ni iru kara

Sora kara futto hanabira yurete
Nobashita tenohira maioritayo

Yukikau fune shibuki wo agete
Natsukashii kimi no egao
Aitakute

Haruka tooku hanareteru toki mo
Atatakaku ikizuiteru yo
Sore wa kimi to tsunagatteiru kiseki
Doko ni itemo
Kimi to issho ni iru yo

Umaretewa kieteku
Sou kawariyuku mono dakedo
Kakegaenonai kono omoi wa
Kawaranai kawaranai
Kitto...

Chigau toki mo chigau sora mo
Kagayaki ga hirogatteku yo
Sore wa kimi to wakachiaeru kiseki
Itsumo soba ni
Kimi to issho ni irukara



Euforia

The morning light lengthens from the window
And spills onto my dozing eyelids

Inviting the gentle breeze into the room
Sunlight streaming through leaves on your sleeping face
Softly

Though it is a typical ordinary day
It is vividly colored
It is the miracle that I was able to meet you
I'm not alone
Because I'm with you

From the sky, flower petals suddenly shook
And drifted down onto my outstretched palm

A ship that goes back and forth generates spray
Your dear smiling face
i want to see you

Even when we are far apart
It continues to warmly live
That is the miracle of being connected with you
No matter where I am
I am with you

It is born and disappears
Yes, though it is something that changes
This feeling that can't be replaced
It won't change it won't change
Surely...

Even at different times and in different places
The radiance continues to spread
It is the miracle that I can share with you
Always near you
I will always be with you


For Rainbow, I found Japanese lyrics as well as romaji and a good translation.

And speaking of mellow, pretty music, what better than the Carpenters? A cover by the Indigo: Rainy Days and Mondays

For a more groovy kind of mellow: Color Your Soul by the Korean group Clazziquai

And while slightly repetitive, a nice mellow song with groove is Ito Yuna's newest: Losin'

Finally, back to anime and the pretty mellow: Aozora by I've from AIR
