For you, Jack, here are the lyrics to Earth's secret weapon in romaji
with an English translation, followed by the lyrics in Japanese
Industrial Standard codes.  The ESC characters in the JIS codes are
replaced with "^[" for posting.

These and many other anime song lyrics and translations are available
for anonymous ftp from romulus.rutgers.edu (128.6.13.2), in the
pub/anime/lyrix subdirectory.

I'm translating these songs to learn Japanese, so if you notice any
mistakes, please correct me.

Ai - oboete-imasu ka (Love - Do you remember?)
"Choujikuu Yousai Macross  Ai - oboete-imasu ka" insert song (1984)

ima  anata no koe ga kikoeru
"koko ni oide" to
samishisa ni  makesou-na  watashi ni
				Now, I hear your voice:
				"Come here"
				to me, about to give in to loneliness.

ima  anata no sugata ga mieru
aruite-kuru
me wo tojite  matte-iru  watashi ni
				Now, I can see your form
				walking up to me,
				waiting with my eyes closed.

kinou made  namida de kumotteta	Now, my heart,
kokoro wa ima......		which until yesterday was clouded by tears...

* oboete-imasu ka  me to me ga atta toki wo
  oboete-imasu ka  te to te ga fureatta toki
  sore wa hajimete no  ai no tabidachi deshita
  I love you so
				Do you remember the time
				   your eye met my eye?
				Do you remember the day
				   your hand touched my hand?
				That was the first time
				we set out on a journey of love.
				I love you so.

ima  anata no shisen kanjiru	Now, I feel your gaze
hanaretete mo			even when we're apart.
karadajuu ga  atatakaku naru no	It warms me all over.

ima  anata no ai shinjimasu	Now, I believe in your love.
douzo watashi wo		Please,
tooku kara  mi-mamotte kudasai	watch over me from afar.

kinou made  namida de kumotteta	Now, my world,
sekai wa ima......		which until yesterday was clouded by tears...

*  Repeat

** mou  hitoribotchi ja nai	I'm no longer alone,
   anata ga iru kara......	because I have you.

*  Repeat

** Repeat and fade
