From "Rurouni Kenshin Songs" (Original Vocal Album)

Kokoro no Hadaka
"Nakedness of the Heart"
(Sanosuke)

*On the street where the wind is ripping through,
you are looking for something that you have lost
But the thing that is more important than diamonds is the nakedness of the heart

To be worried over some simple question....No!
Just overcome all the problems
Don't just sit there waiting, looking on enviously
Having just the blueprint will not get a house built
If you don't move, nothing can begin
I want to try this and that
My state of mind--in these times--
If you want to feel refreshed, then naked heart

Looking at some place, heaving a sigh
Even though I look up to the sky in the middle of the night
Muddied kind of eyes cannot reflect the sun, nor the moon, nor the trifling tomorrow

I have no use for weak worries--that will just make the present futile
Without nursing the feelings that you can't do anything about and open your eyes

**The face reflected in the mirror when I wake up is the real me, just as it is
The thing that decorates my chest is not a medal but only my naked heart

Repeat *

Gentleness and weakness are two different things
It's something that you will understand immediately when you think about it
Break all the rules
Because this isn't a train

I don't feel excited about knowing what the result will be
Movies which you know the ending of are boring
My state of mind--in these times--
If you want to feel refreshed, then naked heart

It's a very simple thing: if you don't want to be drenched in rain on a rainy day,
then use an umbrella
Rather than sigh for the dreams that are not fulfilled, sigh for yourself
who can not be fulfilled

There's nothing to do about trying to look good--no matter what clothes I put on
It's an unnatural joke. Don't frolic around, and open your eyes

Wanting a beautiful tomorrow, I haven't given up on today
Rather than sweet talk, I believe in words that are rough

Repeat **

Kokoro no Hadaka

* Kaze ga fukinukeru machi de omae wa ushinakushita nanika wo sagasu keredo
Daiyamondo (Diamond) yori daijina mono wa kokoro no hadaka dake sa

Tanjunna mondai de nayamu nante No!
Konnan wa zenbu norikoerya ii
Yubi wo kuwaete matte cha dame
Sekkeizu dake ja ie wa tatanee
Ugokanakerya hajimaranee jan
Are mo kore mo shitaitte omou koto sa
Kibun jidai Konna jidai
Sukkiri shitai nara naked heart

Tameiki tsuite doko wo miteru Mayonaka no sora wo miageru kedo
Nigotta me ni wa tsuki mo hoshi mo wazukana ashita sae utsuranai

Hiyowana nayami ni you wa nai Ima ga muda ni naru sa
Shou mo nai kanjou ni amaetenaide me wo samase

* Kagami ni utsutta neoki no kao ga honto no jibun sa Ari no mama ni
Muni ni kazaru no wa kunshou ja nakute kokoro no hadaka dake sa

* Repeat

Yasashisa to yowasa wa betsumon da ze
Kangaerya sugu ni wakaru koto sa
Reeru (rail) hamidashitatte ii jan
Densha ja neen dakara
Kekka mieteru nante dokidoki shinee
Saigo shitteru eiga wa tsumaranee
Kibun jidai Konna jidai
Sukkiri shitai nara naked heart

Kantan na koto sa ame no hi ni nuretaku nakereba kasa wo sase yo
Kanawanai yume wo nageku yori kanawanai jibun wo nagekina yo

Kakkou tsuketatte shou ga nai Donna fuku wo kitemo
Fushiizenna joudan sa Hashaide nai me wo samase
Kirei na ashita wo hoshiku naru hodo kyou ni zetsubou wa shicha inai sa
Kirei goto yori mo zara tsuiteiru kotoba wo shinjiteru

** Repeat
