『BALLAD』
夢の途中で目覚めた　睫毛が濡れていた
覚えてた言葉は　『お願い行かないで』
決して変わらないのは　募ってゆくこの想い
いつも揺るがないのは　敬い慕う気持ち
今日の夕焼け空は　あなたのように優しくて
今度は夢じゃないと叫びました　『行かないで』
Written by ayumi hamasaki

google translation and made sense by me XD:

"BALLAD"

I awakened in a middle of a dream, eyelashes were wet.
I remembered the words "please do not go".
Never thought of this pitching change,
and always stand firm, the mind yearns respect.
In today's sunset, this time you have cried softly
and not as a dream "Do not go".

,·___·,

This ballads are soo sad T_____T

And she also talks about finishing the recording of a PV:

追伸。

今日の撮影は無事に終わったよ〜！！

でもね、、、ヘアーから顔から身体じゅう、本物のダイヤで

すきまなくキラッキラ、、、でもダイヤっで石だからさ、

肌触りはザラッザラ、みたいな。笑

そんな感じでした〜。お楽しみにっ☆’

she says something about heavy hair?? a wig?? and diamonds?? JEWEL II?? XDDD

I woke up in the middle of a dream, eyelashes wet.
The words I remember are "Please, dont go."
The thing that never changes is the strengthening/worsening of these thoughts.
The thing that never wavers is these feelings of undying respect (have no idea to translate 敬い慕う in english, so I chose that one.)
Today's sunset sky is gentle like you,
It's not a dream now, I cried out. "Don't go."~~~

In the post about the PV, she says from her hair, to her face, to her body, everything was covered in diamonds.

Ok I'll try translating again.. :)



English
I woke up in the middle of a dream, my eyelashes were wet.
The words I remember were "Please, don't go"
The things that never change, they invite these thoughts to me..
The thing that never trembles, is this feeling that yearns for respect.
Today's sunset sky, it is just as tender as you are.
This time the words that are shouted aren't a dream: "Don't go!"


omg.. it sounds so sad. It already makes me emotional, I bet the real song will make me cry :) sounds very nice, extremely excited for this single!!

[EDIT: Whoops while translating, someone already posted one :laugh well now you guys have options to choose from]
