Date: 14 Dec 92 00:28:31 GMT
Organization: Rutgers Anime

Michael Studte asked for translations or lyrics to other Video Girl Ai
songs.  For you, Mike, here are the lyrics 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.

Ureshi namida (Happy tears)
"Denei shoujo Video Girl Ai" opening theme (1992)

nichiyoubi wa  hitori no hi             Sunday was a day alone.
PIICHIPAI wo yaita ato                  After I baked a peach pie,
sentakumono hosu you ni                 like airing laundry,
shinkokyuu de nesobetta                 I lay sprawled breathing deeply.

furueru mune ni te wo ate               Putting my hand on my trembling heart,
mi-ageru ao-sugiru sora                 I looked up at the too blue sky.
ai-suru hito no namae wo                I said the name of the one I love
chiisaku yonde-mita                     in a small voice,
yasashiku yasashiku                     tenderly, tenderly.

* ureshi namida ga HORORI  tameiki to issho ni
  konna watashi ga  hito wo aiseru
  koto ga ureshikute
  ureshi namida de kasumu  itsumo to chigau sora wo
  kokoro wo nozoku you ni  itsumade demo miteta
  hitori zutto miteta
                        Happy teardrops with a sigh,
                        I'm so happy someone like me
                        can love someone.
                        In the sky different from usual blurred by happy tears,
                        like looking into my heart, I was seeing forever,
                        alone I was seeing forever.

nichiyoubi wa  fushigi-na hi            Sunday is a wondrous day.
ichinichi wa yukkuri to                 Even as the day slowly
kurenagara mo  ichiban ni               gets dark, it
daiji-na koto  oshieru no               teaches us important things.

osanai jibun no koto wo 		
fukaku mitsumete-mitari 		I tried studying my youth deeply
ai-suru hito no mirai wo                and drawing in my heart
kokoro ni egaitari                      the future of the one I love,
yasashiku yasashiku                     gently, gently.

ureshi namida ga hikaru  itoshii kisetsu no naka
yatto koko made  kita ne to ieru
koi ga ureshikute
ureshi namida wo sotto  mi-mamoru takai sora wo
umare-kawatta you ni  itsumade demo miteta
hitori zutto miteta
                        Happy tears shine, in this lovely season.
                        I'm so happy our love
                        can say at last we've come this far.
                        In the tall sky secretly watching over happy tears,
                        like I was born again, I was seeing forever,
                        alone I was seeing forever.

* Repeat
