LYRICS AT BOTTOM!
Hiya! Still about 15 mins ‘til February here. (After reuploading coz vocals got unsynced) Sorry I’m late this month. Changing my upload schedule coz doing all the Love Live and MM birthdays was too stressful. Still gonna do holidays though. Anyways thought I’d go back to my roots tonight for my first cover of the new year.
My first cover was of “Make a Wish” from Pokémon: Jirachi Wish Maker. I’ve redone it a couple of times, but it’s not the original song. The original song is called “Chiisaki Mono” or “A Small Thing” and I’ve long had English lyrics written for it, so I decided to sing a version that captures the lullaby feel from the movie. After all, what better way to start off the new year than with a cover of the song that gave me my start?
The original song was sung by Asuka Hayashi.
LYRICS (Feel free to use so long as credit is given and a link back to this vid is provided)
So silently, I was just gazing at you!
Your sweet sleeping face, oh, what a small thing!
Your sleep's grown restless and at your brow just a few seams gather!
If you're having a nightmare, then, oh, please awaken!
Mem'ries of that long ago summer I was fearful of
The water begin returning to me now!
Being pushed from behind, I learned how to swim at last!
It feels as if it'd been only yesterday!
I'm able to hear a voice
Guiding me along the path towards my destiny!
Within the gentle breeze that is cascading as if a river,
All alone, I sing this song for you!
"A Small Thing"'s what I am, beyond a single doubt!
In reality, that's who I'm truly!
Though the mirror I gaze into reflects only helplessness,
Moving towards the future, I won't be beaten by a soul!
And so, slowly but surely, I begin returning to
All those younger days, now so long past, in which
I would sing not even aware of the meaning of the love song
That you had always praised me for singing!
Rising into the blue sky,
My voice grows so strong, as I sing so crystal clear!
Within the gentle breeze that is cascading as if a river,
I wish to soar with you towards peace!
I'm able to hear a voice
Guiding me along the path towards my destiny!
Within the gentle breeze that is cascading as if a river,
All alone, I sing this song for you!
I've come to realize that the ones most precious to my heart
Are always with me, right at my side!
Rising into the blue sky,
My voice grows so strong, as I sing so crystal clear!
Within the gentle breeze that is cascading as if a river,
I wish to soar with you towards peace!
I'm able to hear a voice
Guiding me along the path towards my destiny!
Within the gentle breeze that is cascading as if a river,
All alone, I sing this song for you!
Mmm... Mmm... Mmm...
“Oyasumi...”
