Matsu Wa ( 待つわ)

First Music Monday post after a long inactivity. Matsu Wa(待つわ) by musical duo called Aming(あみん). Its a beautiful song but I first heard i as a cover by another duo named W (pronounced ダブルユー).

While feeling nostalgic by W version, the original singer was much better in my taste. My growing interest in older Japanese music was a big part in that taste development.

Aming – Matsu Wa (I’ll Wait)

Kawaii furi shite ano ko wari to yaru mon da ne to
Iware tsuzuketa ano koro ikiru no ga tsurakatta

Ittari kitari surechigai anata to watashi no koi
Itsuka dokoka de musubareru tte koto wa
Towa no yume

Aoku hiroi kono sora dare no mono demo nai wa
Kaze ni hitohira no kumo
Nagashite nagasarete

Watashi, matsu wa itsu mademo matsu wa
Tatoe anata ga furimuite kurenakutemo
Matsu wa (matsu wa)
Itsu mademo matsu wa
Hoka no dareka ni anata ga furareru hi made

Kanashii kurai ni watashi itsumo anata no mae dewa
Odokete miseru doukemono namida nante iranai

Wakarikitteru tsuyogari heiki de itte mitemo
Hitoribotchi no toki ni wa sotto namida wo nagasu

Daremo watashi no kokoro minuku koto wa dekinai
Dakedo anata ni dake wa
Wakatte hoshikatta

Watashi, matsu wa itsu mademo matsu wa
Tatoe anata ga furimuite kurenakutemo
Matsu wa (matsu wa)
Itsu mademo matsu wa
Semete anata wo mitsumete irareru no nara

Watashi, matsu wa itsu mademo matsu wa
Tatoe anata ga furimuite kurenakutemo
Matsu wa (matsu wa)
Itsu mademo matsu wa
Hoka no dareka ni anata ga furareru hi made

I know I’m pretending, acting like I’m fine, but when I’m alone, I quietly let the tears fall.
