kurisumasu - judy and mary

hey…been ages since i posted T_T anyway, i really looove judy and mary and this is their christmas song so in the spirit of the season, i’m putting up a translation!!! i missed you bloggie T_T

anyway, the song paints a clear picture of how people spend christmas in japan. when i was there i sorta felt depressed since in my home christmas eve has always been a family holiday whereas it felt like valentines day in japan. you either have dinner, give presents to each other, and spend christmas eve together with some traditional christmas cake! but good thing was we had a big party instead and spent the whole night singing in karaoke ^^;

 i managed to also snag this live performance of judy and mary for the song so i do hope you enjoy. any talk of a reunion soon? i am so there hahahah!!!

anyway, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! kore kara mo yoroshiku ne ^_^V

KURISUMASU
Judy and Mary
(Romaji by Cori)

Kotoshi no KURISUMASU ni
doushite mo hoshii mono ga aru no BABY
Makka na RIBON ni kurumu
DAIYAMONDO janakute…

SANTA KUROOSU ni narunakute
anata wa shonbori shiteru KEDO
Nani yori mo taisetsu na mono wo kureta

Momi no ki to danro no mae
ooki na inu to chiisanan KEEKI
Rousoku ni hi wo toushite
futari dake de sugosu Christmas

Anata ni deau mae ni
mou nido to koi wa shinai to chikatta
Shinjiru kimochi ga itsuka
kuroi kumo ni o’ou warete

SANTA KUROOSU wa yume no naka
watashi wa kamisama ni inoru wa
“KIRAMEKI yori taisetsu na hito wo kudasai…”

Ichiban no kanashimi wo
anata to itsumo koereru you ni
Rousoku ni hi wo toushite
futari dake de inoru Merry Christmas

Momi no ki to danro no mae
ooki na inu to chiisanan KEEKI
Rousoku ni hi wo toushite

Ichiban no yorokobi wo
anata to futari wakereru you ni
Rousoku ni hi wo toushite
Futari dake de inoru Merry Christmas
Futari dake de sugosu Merry Christmas
Futari dake no shiroi Merry Christmas

Me ga sameru made soba ni ite…

CHRISTMAS
Chelli Translation

this year’s christmas,
i want something more than anything else, baby
not a diamond
wrapped up in very red ribbon

you can’t become santa claus
and is becoming down-hearted
but you gave me something more important than anything else

the fir tree and in front of the fireplace
a big dog and a little cake
set light to the candle
spending a Merry Christmas with just the two of us

before i met you
i’ve sworn not to love again
someday my feelings of trust
were chased away by a black cloud

santa claus is just inside a dream
i will be praying to God
“please give me a precious person more than any glitter”

i wish to always be able to get over
my number one sadness with you
set light to the candle
praying for a Merry Christmas with just the two of us

the fir tree and in front of the fireplace
a big dog and a little cake
set light to the candle
stay by my side until i wake up

i wish to be able to share
my number one happiness with you
set light to the candle
praying for a Merry Christmas with just the two of us
spending a Merry Christmas with just the two of us
spending a white Merry Christmas with just the two of us
stay by my side until i wake up
