Letter Song – ENE

“Letter Song”. This song was originally composed for the vocaloid Hatsune Miku by doriko (the same person who composed Romeo & Cinderella). The song was however later picked-up and sung by other amateur niconico singers. Among the fandubs that I have listened to (I listened to over five versions), I find ENE’s version the best. Her singing voice was stable, mesmerizing and clear, almost like a pro.

The lyric of the song was already pretty touching and mind-bogging. Together with ENE’s voice, the song literally turned into a masterpiece, soothing and relaxing! The following is the lyric translated by bluemist.

Letter Song
The place where I walked with the person I liked.
The scenery I saw during that time.
Not looking back, I run past them now.
What would I be coming across now?

Trying to stop, trying to find the meaning.
Maybe I may have not matured yet.
The things Im seeing, the people Im meeting.
Inside me, Im just looking at the past.

To my future-self of 10 years,

Are you happy right now?
Or are you sad
and crying?

But beside you, theres something that wouldnt change
Without you noticing, have you been treasuring it?

With each day passing, I am hiding these feelings.
And time is the only thing I can chase.
Getting close behind someone elses dream
Will those days come back someday?

To my future-self of 10 years,

Who do you like right now?
Or do you still like that person?

But before you try to love somebody else,
Would you say that you are able to love yourself?

Those people you hold dear, are they still beside you?
Or are they far away, and walking their own paths?

But when those meetings and partings repeat,
Would you be more wonderful than who I am today?

To my future-self of 10 years,

If you are happy right now,
Would you remember me that day?

Even though I was crying in pain that time,
Kindly change these tears into memories.
