The Promised Land

MIDI

Everyone says he longs at heart for Shangri-La,
But that it's a nowhere-land, after all.
How I wonder why no one tries to sail out,
Looking for a strange paradise.

In my dreams, I've seen people there,
Exchanging words of love and care.
In the bright sunbeams, they're dancing with the birds
And they're singing all day long beside the streams.

One day, someday,
You'll surely find me sailing away
For the white beach of the promised land.

Now here we stand
Oh, in the burning sunset,
Talking only of the promised land.
I'm glad to know now I am not the only one--
I've got nice friends who share dreams with me.

We are so young; we've got some magic powers.
We are nourishing like flowers.
Oh, let us wait until the day comes when we will all
Sail across the deeper blue sea.

In our dreams, we've seen people there,
Exchanging words of love and care.
In the bright sunbeams, they're dancing with the birds
And they're singing all day long beside the streams.

One day, someday,
You'll surely find us sailing away
For the white beach of the promised land.

Mon P'tit Chat (My Little Cat)

Qui punit tous les méchants.		Who punishes all the evildoers,
Ou bien la fée des voyages		Or the fairy of travels,
Qui protége les pauvres gens.		Who protects the pitiful.
Pourvu qu'il rencontre une fée,		If he were to meet a fairy,

"Madame, pouvez-vous m'aider		"Ma'am, could you help me
A retrouver et ramener mon p'tit chat?"		Find and bring back my little cat?"

Towa ni nemuru hitobito		The people, sleeping forever.

Once You Meet Her

MIDI

She's like a rainbow--
When she comes up, all are lit up.
And when she whispers,
You will hear this: "Don't chase after rainbows."

High on a hill, there's a green meadow.
All around, it's breezin',
She's smilin',
She'll let them sing angel songs.

She's like a fairy
When she's trembling, when she's dancing.
Just see her rambling--
How it's nice to follow her to the end.

You want some meanings of the life,
And go to see her.
Don't ask her too much--
Oh yes, she'll be out of your sight
Right over.

High on a hill, there's a green meadow.
All around, it's breezin',
She's smilin',
She'll let them sing angel songs.

Everyone is sad and blue when she is far away.
Don't you know it's time to pray she'll be coming soon?
And you think you hear her voice ringing from above.

And no one knows it--
Where she came from, where she's going.
And once you meet her,
Maybe you'll stay forever young.
