Lockdown Tunes

Lockdown tune #10

My first cover with the #Arturia Minilab MKII and Analog Lab Lite.

Angel (Sarah McLachlan Cover)

Made a full band version of this cover, because the song is just soooo good.
All instrumentation and vocals by yours truly.

Lyrics:

多分 私じゃなくていいね / I guess, it doesn't have to be me
余裕のない二人だったし / We were emotionally strained
気付けば喧嘩ばっかりしてさ / Always fighting before we knew it
ごめんね / I'm sorry

ずっと話そうと思ってた / For so long I've been meaning to say
きっと私たち合わないね / We probably aren't suited for each other 
二人きりしかいない部屋でさ / In a room with just the two of us
貴方ばかり話していたよね / You were the only one talking　

もしいつか何処かで会えたら / Perhaps one day, if we meet again somewhere
今日の事を笑ってくれるかな / Will you be able to laugh about what happened today
理由もちゃんと話せないけれど / Can't really explain why
貴方が眠った後に泣くのは嫌 / But I don't like crying after you've fallen asleep

声も顔も不器用なとこも / Your voice, your face, your awkwardness
全部全部 嫌いじゃないの / All of it, all of it I kind of like
ドライフラワーみたい / Like a dry flower
君との日々も / The days spent with you will
きっときっときっときっと / Probably, probably, probably, probably
色褪せる / Fade away in color

多分 君じゃなくてよかった / I guess I'm glad it wasn't you	
もう泣かされることもないし / You won't make me cry anymore
「私ばかり」なんて言葉も / Words like “why is it always on me”
なくなった / have disappeared

あんなに悲しい別れでも / Such a sad break-up but
時間がたてば忘れてく / Time makes you forget
新しい人と並ぶ君は / You who now stand next to someone else
ちゃんとうまくやれているのかな / I wonder if it's going well for you

もう顔も見たくないからさ / Never want to see your face again
変に連絡してこないでほしい / Don't try to stay in touch
都合がいいのは変わってないんだね / Still expect things to always go your way
でも無視できずにまた少し返事 / But I can't ignore you so I answer back

声も顔も不器用なとこも / Your voice, your face, your awkwardness
多分今も 嫌いじゃないの / I guess, even now I kind of like
ドライフラワーみたく / Like a dry flower
時間が経てば	/ With passing time
きっときっときっときっ / Probably, probably, probably, probably
と色褪せる / Fade away in color

月灯りに魔物が揺れる / Evil spirits quiver in the moonlight
きっと私もどうかしてる / There's probably something wrong with me too
暗闇に色彩が浮かぶ / Colors float in the darkness

赤黄藍色が胸の奥	 / Red, yellow, blue in the depths of my heart
ずっと貴方の名前を呼ぶ / Keep calling out your name
好きという気持ち / Feelings of love
また香る / Still leave a scent

声も顔も不器用なとこも / Your voice, your face, your awkwardness
全部全部 大嫌いだよ / All of it, all of it I hate 
まだ枯れない花を / Flowers that have yet to wilt
君に添えてさ	/ I place with you
ずっとずっとずっとずっと / Forever, forever, forever, forever
抱えてよ / Hold on to them

ドライフラワー / Dry Flower (Yuuri Full Band Cover)

English translation (credit: lyricstranslate.com)

Moon

The moon looked at the sleeping city,
And the night suddenly whispered something.
The moon looked at that sleeping dog
That motionless lay on the black ashy earth.
 
Chorus
 
Oh moon, moon
I want to hug you
bring home
and give to my mother.
 
The moon heard and suddenly disappeared
I stayed alone
on this enchanted night
And when I woke up, suddenly saw
that the missing moon
sleeps in my thrust.
 
Chorus
 
Oh moon, moon
I want to hug you
bring home
and give to my mother.

SPACEWALK
Written, arranged, recorded by Anne Mendoza

3 and 2...  
At one, he takes the leap of his life
He turns around what glory and beauty he finds

A sunset like never before
The sky’s on fire and the earth
is a masterful work of art
The vastness of the universe 
drowns the spaceman,
a feeling familiar when he looks inside
As he’s out there and 

Spacewalking,
Spacewalking,
Spacewalking,
Out where nobody can follow and reach him
Out there just spacewalking,
Spacewalking,
Spacewalking,
Outside the shadows he’s perpetually bound
Out of the light that commands where he must be
Out of the noise that refuses to leave him
Out there and spacewalking, 
Spacewalking,
Spacewalking,
Out of the madness, out of the world,
Out of the mind

At 22, she ponders, her path she can’t find 
At 42, he’s living but he ain’t alive

Sometimes the air that we breathe feels too heavy
And the reason to awake is just elusive
The only thing that would make sense is escaping
slowly then we close our eyes and imagine
That we’re out here and 

Spacewalking,
Spacewalking,
Spacewalking,
Out where nobody can follow and reach me
Out there just spacewalking,
Spacewalking,
Spacewalking,
Outside the shadows I’m perpetually bound
Out of the light that commands where I must be
Out of the noise that refuses to leave me
Out here and spacewalking, 
Spacewalking,
Spacewalking,
Out of the madness, out of the world,
Out of the mind

Spacewalk (Original)

Holding hands
Our feet in sand
On swinging chairs
Oh, we laid out our plans
Night streets
were our witness when we kissed and said,
"Let's forget that it ever happened"

Ever (Chorus, Original)

MAGANDANG UMAGA

Magandang umaga
Andito ka sana
Ba’t pa lumisan
Ikaw pa rin naman ang aking hantungan

Magandang umaga
Ngunit wala ka
Kay ligaya na sana
Kung sa paggising ikaw ang kasama

Lagi’t lagi ka sa isip
Pangalan mo, panay banggit
Sa kung sino-sino
Wari nila’y “namimiss mo”

Magandang hiwaga
Dalisay na pagsinta
Mailap at bihira
Kita’y biniyayaan ng tadhana

Laging sawi bago ka dumating
Pinawi’ng luha, ikaw na ang ngiti
Mag-aantay’ng tunay
Hangga’t maging kapiling ka habambuhay

Magandang umaga
Galak sa pag-asa
Balang araw kasama
Babatiin sa hirap at ginhawa
“Magandang umaga”

Magandang Umaga (Original)

Humored myself and wrote a song after a brief online encounter 😃

Adios, 
bayang sinisinta
Ang 'yong kasanrinlan 
ang tanging adhika
Buhay iaalay 
sa pag-asang dalisay
Adios,
umahong malaya.

Anne Mendoza

Adios (For "Jose Rizal" Manga PV)

Beautiful Days (Original)

Mulat sa katotohanan
Ang may kaalaman ay makialam
Humayo at isakatuparan
Ang mga minimithi’t pangarap

Dahil sila’y naghihintay
Sa iyong mga kamay

Taglay mo ang kakayahan at ang pusong makabayan
Ikaw ang kinabukasan ng iyong bayan
Hawak mo ang pag-asa ng pag-usbong at kaunlaran
Nasa ‘yo, Kaya mo
 Taglay mo, Isko

Ang ‘yong pagwawalang-bahala
Paglimot sa kultura at sa ideolohiya
Ang pagbibingi-bingihan at pagbubulag-bulagan
(REF CHO)


Isko (live recording at Tatak UPMin 2012)

I
Let's talk as if I need to know the score
as if I just haven't been told
as if I need to hear those truthless words of yours
but hey I don't
been trying to believe 
that all was well and worth to keep
been saving what I hoped that we could be 
but now you're free

II
Tell me why you had to change to what you're now
coz I'd been lost and left behind
oh no no now I can't keep up
Pretending that I don't see
was foolish enough to be the one
who kept holding on hopelessly and desperately
but now I've learned I'm over it/you

Cho
I am tired, tired of this love
Where's the fire, the fire in those eyes
Losing desire, so how will it survive
and see a tomorrow of the "us" still alive

Say goodbye coz I've grown tired by those lies
you tried to hide behind those eyes
You can deny but I can read between the lines
So hey it's time
to take it all away 
you think I can't but now I'm brave enough
to show I never needed you to stay, oh, anyway

Repeat II, Chorus

Quel est donc
Ce lien entre nous
Cette chose indéfinissable?
Où vont ces destins qui se nouent
Pour nous rendre inséparables?

On avance
Au fil du temps
Au gré du vent... 

We all go 'round and 'round
Partners of lost and found
Looking for one more chance
All I know is
We're all in the dance

Night and Day, the music plays on
We are all part of the show
While we can hold on to someone
Even though life won't let us go

On avance
Au fil du temps
Au gré du vent... 
ainsi...

On vit au jour le jour
Nos envies, nos amours
On s'en va sans savoir
On est toujours
Dans la même histoire...
We're all in the dance

We all go 'round and 'round
Partners of lost and found
Looking for one more chance
On est toujours
Dans la même histoire...

We're all in the dance
