SAHARA
Slash Koshi Inaba Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

chotto zureta hanarabi mo
sui tsuku you na tezawari mo
mado no soto nagame teta
dekkai kanban no akari mo

Sorry I don't remember anything about you
kie chimatterunda are mo kore mo
konya wa nande daro itsumo yori nodo ga kawaku

yoakemae zettai saki ni
nemutta no wa omae no hou
choushi ii koto bakka hozaite
darashi nakatta no wa ore no hou

Sorry I don't remember anything about you
suna ni mamire tanda are mo kore mo
yake tsuku kaze ga kokoro no naka fukiareru

osanaku moeru shitto no katamari datta
nani ga nan demo omae wo
tsunagitome teoki takattan dayo

Sorry I don't remember anything about you
kie chimatterunda are mo kore mo
ukareta kibun de dareka wo kizutsuke

I can't let go… anything about you




dai nashi ni shitanda are mo kore mo
kagayaku hibi wa eien ni uzumore te yuku

Koshi inaba is an amazing Japanese singer and the matter of fact slash asked him to sing in Japanese knowing he could sing it in english

There is actually a full English version as well. Inaba is one of my favorite artists. He's so talented and versatile.
