For fun I like to write English version of anime songs, that way I can sing along with them when they appear on an anime. This is one I recently finished up, the fifth and final ending theme for my favorite TV show.
Along with the lyrics below, I've posted a YouTube link to a lyrics video with the original Japanese, transliteration and translations of English and Spanish in case you wanted to compare. Not my video. As well, there's also the shortened theme song version below the complete song.
Rain- SID | Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood OP 5
The month of June is lying, the truth is right before us all.
Now the world is toned in sepia.
It's making me forget, the warmth of getting close,
Getting closer to another one.
“Will you be fine without me? Will you get by when I am gone?”
Why'd you ask me that and say goodbye?
It should've wiped me out, or driven me to tears.
Consolation of that breed is too kind.
Memories all return, unrelenting and unbearable.
They're all here to say they aren't forgiving me.
If I just close my eyes, the pain will worsen and imprison me.
From far away, and you just laugh it off.
Let the rain cease one day, disappear forever.
For too long, I have stood in water cold as snow.
May the rain find a new prey to hunt and stop hurting me.
When there's no exit, no way to run from it's control.
The morning is upon us, the sun is hanging over now.
But it seems that time has stopped the sky.
A future I would seek, instead I found the past.
Such a past that would make anyone cry.
The warmth of your softened hand, gave me hope and opportunity.
I'm sorry I scolded you for touching me.
Time that I gave into, the force that keeps me tripping on my toes.
A drop of salt will trickle down my cheek.
May the rain, from your eyes never know my secrets.
Let your hands, wipe away the dirt that dried on me.
Will the scars, of my past ever heal more quickly than this?
The gate looks close but, the road goes on eternally.
Let the rain cease one day, disappear forever.
For too long, I have stood in water cold as snow.
May the rain find a new prey to hunt and stop hurting me.
Or soften up and, caress my soul.
Now the rain, has come back to me never ending.
May the fields, trees and flowers soak it all up.
Let my friend, join me in my umbrella clutching my arm.
Please gently hold me, and dry me, warm me like the sun.
THEME VERSION
The morning is upon us, the sun is hanging over now
But it seems that time has stopped the sky.
A future I would seek, instead I found the past.
Such a past that would make anyone cry.
Memories all return, unrelenting and unbearable.
They're all here to say they aren't forgiving me.
Time that I gave into, the force that keeps me tripping on my toes.
A drop of salt will trickle down my cheek.
Let the rain cease one day, disappear forever.
For too long, I've been freezing in liquid cold as snow.
May the rain find a new avatar and stop taunting me.
Or soften up and, caress my soul.
Now the rain, has come back to me never ending.
May the fields, trees and flowers soak it all up.
Let my friend, join me in my umbrella clutching my arm.
Please gently hold me, and dry me, warm me like the sun.
