Melodies from the 90s: ZARD

Disclaimer: I shall not be rewriting ZARD's biography here, we have our ever "reliable" wikipedia.com if you want to know who ZARD is. I liked her songs because of the variety of mellow melodies, and it evokes some quite of nostalgia. (Don't ask me why)

These are some of my favorite ZARD songs and its English translations. Enjoy ZARD lovers!
Got some info from here :3

Konna ni aishitemo ~Hold Me~ / Eventhough I love you so ~Hold Me~

Yakusoku wasureta no? / Have you forgotten your promise? 
Mayonakasugi no anata no heya de / It's past midnight in your room 
Sugiteku jikan wo tada matteru / Just waiting as time passes
Itsu no manika namutteta / At some time, you must have fallen asleep


Konna ni aishitemo / Even though I love you so 
Tokidoki sabishii kao suru none / Sometimes you look so lonely
"Nani ka ga tarinai" sonna fuu ne / "Something's missing" That must be it
Modokashisa ni fuan ni naru / Your irritation makes me nervous

Hold Me Soba ni ite / Hold me, stay with me
Yasashikunakutemo kamawanai no / It doesn't matter if you're not gentle
Love Me Mou nidoto / Love me, don't ever again
Hoka no dareka wo aisanaide / Love anybody else


Konna ni aishitemo / Even though I love you so
Kokoro wa anata ni todokanai / These feelings won't reach you
Deatta koro wo omoidashite / Remembering the time when we first met
Mata hitori de setsunaku naru / Alone again, I grow sadder


Hold Me Soba ni ite / Hold me, stay with me
Kiyou na kotoba wa iranai kara / Because I don't need clever words
Love Me Mou nidoto / Love me, don't ever again
Hoka no dareka wo aisanaide / Love anybody else

Hold Me Soba ni ite / Hold me, stay with me

Ai wa nemutteru / Love lies asleep

Oto mo naku tsukiakari / The noiseless moonlight 
Fushigi iro ni kawatte yuku / Starts to change to a strange color 
Haruka ni tooi kako no ai wo / A far distant love of days past 
Shinjite itai / I want to believe in it 
Demo mou modorenai to for me / But for me, you won't return 
Dokoka de kajiteru / You're feeling it somewhere

Broken Heart
Eien no negai wa mirai eto tsuzuku / My wish for eternity continues to the future
Broken Heart
Toki no nagare daite / Embrace the flow of time
 
Ai wa nemutteru / Love lies asleep


Ki no yowai radio kara / From the radio, that weak-spirited 
Kikoete kuru yo ano RABU SONGU / LOVE SONG makes its way to my ears
Winding Road hashiri tsuzuketeta / I continued to run down the winding road
Ano hi no futari wo mitsume / Looking at us together back then
Naze sonna ni ichizu ni
for you / Why have I lived 
Ikite kita noka to / With such dedication for you?

Broken Heart
Kudakechitta yume demo / Even though my dreams are broken and scattered
Kagayaki wasurenai / I can't forget their shine
Broken Heart
Katari kakeru kotoba /
The words you begun to speak
Ima wa nemutteru / Now lay asleep


Broken Heart
Eien no negai wa mirai eto tsuzuku / My wish for eternity continues to the future
Broken Heart
Toki no nagare daite / Embrace the flow of time
 
Ai wa nemutteru / Love lies asleep

Broken Heart
Kudakechitta yume demo / Even though my dreams are broken and scattered
Kagayaki wasurenai / I can't forget their shine
Broken Heart
Katari kakeru kotoba /
The words you begun to speak
Ima wa nemutteru / Now lay asleep


I know it'll be more fun if there are karaoke version links, but couldn't find any - for now.Copies of old ZARD songs are also hard to search online, and I am too lazy (OH YEAH!) to upload my ZARD albums. XDDD (that would also be infringing rights). For the karaoke versions, I shall link here if I find some. :D #
