I decided to put up the English translation of the White Album character song ‘Koiiro Sora’ (‘Love-Coloured Sky’) since it didn’t seem to be on the Internet. I really love this song, it’s so tender and actually I quite identify with the lyrics.

The original version is sung by Hirano Aya and it is the character song of her character Morikawa Yuki.

So here goes:

Koiiro Sora – Love-coloured sky

We walk the city dyed in the twilight
Together, holding hands
If I can be by your side like this
I don’t need anything else

Like a dream, time goes by unnoticed
Each time when we say ‘goodbye’ and wave our hands, I feel like I’m going to cry

The loneliness locked in my heart
Is piling up like falling snow
I can’t sleep, I want to strongly confirm this happiness
I want to hear your voice for a bit…

 No matter how many people share smiles, still
For some reason this feeling of being alone doesn’t disappear

 When it’s the two of us, I have the feeling I can become stronger
I want to feel you closer and closer

 My heart is freezing, I want you to
Warm me up with that kindness
Even if I search the whole world, a warmth that surpasses yours
Surely doesn’t exist 

The loneliness locked in my heart
Is piling up like falling snow
I can’t sleep, I feel the scent of winter outside the window
When I look up at it, it’s a love-coloured sky
