Gyuu [Album]
Anime Neon Genesis EVANGELION episode 4 insert song
Shimazu Saeko cover song
Lyrics: Satomi Arimori
Composition & Arrangement: Tsutomu Oohira
I always want to love someone and I always want to be loved by someone
The truth is I'm so weak and yet I can't relinquish my mask
I'm just an ordinary woman...
I've gotta walk even faster than this city
so that I don't trip on this invisible, entangled threads...
Aah, I want to escape quietly into my distant memories
If I wept quietly all by myself on an evening when the waning moon appears
I could transform into a woman as strong as my face in the middle of the day...
But that's just the ramblings of a sleepless night, isn't it?
Sighs escape over how I'm unable to open up
Intensity suits me more than a dried out kindness
Aah, I'm sure, like this, nothing will ever change
I always want to love someone and I always want to be loved by someone
The truth is I'm so weak and yet I can't relinquish my mask
I'm just an ordinary woman...
If I wept quietly all by myself on an evening when the waning moon appears
I could transform into a woman as strong as my face in the middle of the day...
But that's just the ramblings of a sleepless night, isn't it?
Sakushi: Arimori Satomi
Sakkyoku & Henkyoku: Oohira Tsutomu
Itsumo dareka wo aishite itai itsumo dareka ni aisaretai
Hontou wa konna ni yowai kuse ni kamen wo tebanasu koto dekinai
Watashi, tada no onna noni
Kono machi yori mo subayaku aruite yukanakucha
Karamikitta mienai ito tsumazukanu you ni...
Aa, tooi kioku no naka ni sotto nigete mitai
Kaketa tsuki no deru ban wa sotto hitorikiri de nakiakashita nara
Mahiru no kao to onaji kurai no tsuyoi onna ni kawareru nante
Nemurenu yoru no tawagoto ne
Kokoro yursenu jibun ni tameiki ga oboreru
Kawakikitta yasashisa yori hageshisa ga niau
Aa, kitto konomama zutto nanimo kawaranai
Itsumo dareka wo aishite itai itsumo dareka ni aisaretai
Hontou wa konna ni yowai kuse ni kamen wo tebanasu koto dekinai
Watashi, tada no onna noni
Kaketa tsuki no deru ban wa sotto hitorikiri de nakiakashita nara
Mahiru no kao to onaji kurai no tsuyoi onna ni kawareru nante
Nemurenu yoru no tawagoto ne

Thank you for the english translation of this song. I like Okui Masami very much, and this is a beautiful song. By the way, there's a mistake: This is not a Neon Genesis Evangelion insert song, but a cover song from the Bannou Bunka Nekomusume anime. The original artist was Shimazu Saeko. http://vgmdb.net/album/57653
ReplyDeleteEven if it's not, it still fits perfectly. That's my opinion 🤣😝
DeleteIt appears on Evangelion, though. At the end of episode 4, when Misato and Shinji reunites, the first part of the song plays on the background. In this episode also appears Bay side love story, from Masami Okui
