もののけ姫~ Princess Mononoke Theme (Lullaby)

♥ Studio Ghibli- The only true childhood ♥

I swear, Japanese movies can be the greatest thing.
Music Box lullabies. There's something about it that whispers nostalgia. 懐かしい。You have to admit, music boxes enchant an already hypnotizing piece of music.
And then I ruined it with my vocals. ReALly jULeS?

As the holidays approach, I thought some lullabies should be in order. Snuggle in and enjoy songs that make you fly back to childhood, where this movie among others was played over and over again, every scene memorized to the finest detail, yet still beautiful and new every time.

... As the weather gets colder, those wolves are starting to look like good snuggle buddies.

English Translation:

In the moonlight I felt your heart,
Quiver like s bow strings pulse,
In the moons mere light you looked at me,
Nobody knows your heart.

When the sun has gone, I see you
Beautiful and haunting but cold,
Like the blade of a knife- so sharp, so sweet-
Nobody knows your heart.

All of your sorrow grief and pain,
Locked away, in the forest of the night,
Your secret heart, belongs to the world,
Of the things that sigh in the night,
Of the things that cry in the night

Japanese lyrics:

haritsumeta yumi no furueru tsuru yo
tsuki no hikari ni zawameku omae no kokoro

togisumasareta yaiba no utsukushii
sono kissaki ni yoku nita sonata no yokogao
kanashimi to ikari ni hisomu
makoto no kokoro wo shiru wa mori no sei
mononoke-tachi dake mononoke-tachi dake

張り詰めた弓の震える弦よ
月の光にざわめくおまえの心
研ぎ澄まされた刃の美しい
その切っ先によく似たそなたの横顔

悲しみと怒りに潜む誠の心を知るは森の精
もののけたちだけ
もののけたちだけ
