MIYU YACHIYO

(TV theme)

When I open the door, there is Eternity
A call from a distance. Whose voice is that?
Someone strokes my hair. Who are you?

The sound of a flute recites the land of hope.
Time and memories pass through me.

I don't need anyone; (it is a lie)
I don't need myself; (yes, it is true)

Footprints in the sand are slowly crumbling...
The night is mysterious. Hiding reality, yet showing dreams.
Invited by the moon, darkness spreads in the sky.
The night is purple. Tears are falling down.
The sky is crying in my place...

When my eyes are closed, there is Eternity.
A whisper close to me. Whose voice is this?
Someone is touching my face. Who are you?

The sound of a flute recites the land of hope.
Time and memories pass through me.

I don't need anyone; (it is a lie)
I don't need myself; (yes, it is true)

A doll made of sand is slowly crumbling...
The night is mysterious. Hiding reality, yet showing dreams.
Invited by the moon, darkness spreads across the sky.
The night is ultramarine. Stars are falling down.
The moon is singing in my place...

The night is purple. Tears are falling down.
The sky is crying in my place...

from the Miyu cd; thanxs to Saphira Karjono for the translation and the song...

Sadness fills her eyes, witnessed by time.
Past memories burn in her heart.
Like a white memory.
Blaze of spirits appear in dreams...
Following the instincts of the light,
She guards brightness forever.

from OAV theme song; thanxs to Saphira for the translation and the song!
