[ Melody - Dakishimete ]

(Melody -- Hold Me Tightly!)

Marmalade Boy Movie Song
Sung by Kouda Mariko

Translation by Imo-girl

*Kikoemasu ka Todokimasu ka Anata e no merodii
Dakishimete

*Can you hear it? Does it reach you? My melody for you.
Hold me tightly!

Dare ka wo moto e to isoideru hito nani
Yuuyake miagetara naze ka
Hitori bocchi wo kanjita no

I hurry toward someone -- who?
If I look up at the sunset, why
Do I feel all alone?

Kitto watashi wo mitsukete
Konna ni hiro sugiru sekai de
Anata to deaitai

Surely you'll find me
In the whole wide world
I want to meet you

Sabishii kisetsu no naka kara
Doko ka e tsureteitte
Wazukana kaze ni mo mata tachidomaru no

From this lonely season
Take me with you somewhere!
The slight breeze again -- you stop walking


Hoshi iku mitai ni Matataki dasu machi no hi
Shizukana mado wa hitotsuzutsu
Afureru ai wo kou shite iru no ne

Resembling stars, the city lights twinkle
At the silent windows, one by one
My overflowing love has become light, hasn't it?

Kitto watashi wo mitsukete
Dare yori atatakai sono te ni tsutsunde kokoro goto

Surely you'll find me
Warmer than anyones, your hands envelop each heart

Anata no hitomi no naka de
Hohoemu sono toki wo
Umareru mae kara zutto matte iru no

In your eyes
For the moment you smile
I've been waiting since before I was born

Setsunai hodo takanatteru
Kono mune no merodii -- Dakishimete

Distressing news throbs
This heart's melody -- Hold me tightly!


Kitto watashi wo mitsukete
Donna ni tookute mo
Kiseki wo kasanete deaitai

Surely you'll find me
No matter how far away I am
I pile up miracles one after the other -- I want to meet you

Sabishii kisetsu no naka kara
Doko ka e tsureteitte
Anata ni au made [takazun?] de iru no

From this lonely season
Take me with you somewhere
Until I meet you [?]
