irodorareta kioku ni yosete sayounara

[luciazephyr]

So I found L'arc En Ciel's "Fourth Avenue Cafe" buried in my Zune. It's a song I haven't heard in.... five years? I don't even remember how long ago it was. Oddly enough, I still remember all the words in Japanese and one passage in English:

although I know, I pretend that I don't understand
I was always drowning
and though dreaming of someone else
your profile was just too wonderful

I wonder why I remember only those lines...

-Lucy

PS: lol, checking the lyrics, that's apparently not the translation. Tres odd. Where did I even get it from? it's very firmly ingrained in my mind... Oh well.

PPS: Ellen, this is such a HSAU!Hal song.

Those are the lyrics, hon.

Animelyrics.com translates the block

Wakatte ite mo kidzukanai furi shite
Oborete ita yo, itsudemo
Dareka no koto omotteru
Yokogao demo suteki datta kara

as being

Although I know it, I pretend I don't realize about it
I've always been obsessed with her
I was thinking of somebody, because even her profile face was adorable

But what you have is a more literal translation of it.

The literal translation makes a lot more sense. :lulz mightily:
