Minnasama, konnichiwa!

The english translation of the beautiful Belldandy's single "Megami No
Kimochi" is finally ready! -- I'm crossposting this one here as well as on
the Bell-chan ML because I have no clue whether the "Translation ML" is
still running or not. Shibahara-san and I gave our best trying to convey
the meaning of these lyrics. Enjoy it! ^_^

P.S. A full version of this text provided with japanese lyrics in kanji and
kana can be found on the "Helper Goddess Office" of Ken Yang.

line..haven't you?? ^^;)

Insert here the usual note about not-literal translations being more
literal about the original lyrics than the literal ones.

Megami no kimochi (Goddess' Feelings)
"Ah! My Goddess" image song (1992)

kumo no kage ni moreru hizashi
yagate futari dake no jikan
kagami utsusu sugao no watashi
omoi itsuwarenai

Sunshine leaks through the cloud and softly brightens everything up
I am sitting here,simply appreciating your presence
My reflection in the mirror
can't hide my love toward you flowing silently and constantly
from inside of me


atsui yume wo kataru hito mo
ima wa hiza-makura de neiki
kokochi no ii negao dakara
yokei itoshiku naru

After passionately talking about your dream
You are now resting your head on my lap and sound asleep
Looking at your peaceful face,
I feel I'm overflowing with my love toward you


kono mama itai kara
mahou wo kaketa noni
ai wa fushigi ne  aa toki wo tomete mo
taezu nagareteru

I wished to be with you forever
So I stopped the time by spell
But..ah! Love is such a miracle!
that even if the spell stopped the time,it can't stop my love constantly
flowing


yasashisa agetai
anata no tame ikitai
hoho wo tsutsumu atsui te kara
tsutawaru ne

I'd like to fill you with my love
I'd like to live only for you
Do you feel my love flowing into you
through my hands that are gently covering your cheeks?


mamotte agetai
sekai-juu de anata dake
umi no you ni  sora no you ni
fukai hiroi ai de

I'd like to protect you against everything
You are the only one in the world that makes me feel this way
I'd like to cuddle you
with my love that is as wide as the sky and as deep as the ocean


anata dake no megami dakara
subete sasagetai to omou
futari dake ga yume wo miteru
konna hiroi hoshi [kanji: chikyuu] de

As a goddess, I'd like stay with you. Only you.
And I happily devote to you all the love I have
Did you notice that we are experiencing supreme love
that no one in the world has never experienced before


kono mama me [kanji: hitomi] wo tojite
sora [kanji: uchuu] e to tabidatsu no
Pegasus ni nori  aa ama-no-gawa made
ai wo michibiku no

I wish I could close my eyes and join your dream,
a trip over the Galaxy!
We would ride through the milky way on Pegasus!
....ah! Wouldn't it be so wonderful?
And the path we took would surely shine with our love


utatte agetai
kimochi no ii neiro de
toki [kanji: jikan] wo tometa mahou tokete
nagare-dasu

I'd like to sing this song for you
in a sweet, soothing voice
The time I had stopped is loosen from magic now
and is flowing freely with my love


mitsumete agetai
tsutsumu youna yasashisa de
yume wo miteru tochuu dakedo
anata mezamenasai

I'd like to look into your eye
sweet and tenderly
I know you are in the middle of that wonderful dream, but...
...Please open your eyes, my dear..


kiss wo suru ne sotto

....so,sweetly,I'll kiss you...
