Freckles

[Solid Ronin]

SOMEONE REMAKE freckles!!!in ENGLISH!!!Its pretty good.

[Heart of Sword]

Freckles--the Rurouni Kenshin theme? If so, there's an English version.

[Ren_sama]

yup, its the opening theme song for the Rurouni kenshin English version. There's also the japanese one...^_^'

[Heart of Sword]

Oh! I love that song. ^^;

There is an English version, it's at the beginning of the Rurouni Kenshin show when it's on Cartoon Network (in the middle of the night, at least, but it's not on anymore...*growl*). Heh, I was wondering why the lines in the song don't rhyme...^^;

Well Ronin if you wanted the lyrics:


I brush against the freckles that I hated so
My life goes on and I heave a little sigh for you.
It’s heavy, the love that I would share with you
Then it dissolves like it was just a sugar cube.

Now the little pain sitting in my heart has shrunken a bit
But it really does hurt me now; those silly horoscopes, I
Guess I can’t trust them after all.

If we could get further away, I wonder what it would be like?
Yay--I’d be so happy inside my heart!

All the memories I have are beautiful in my mind
But they don’t feed the hunger deep inside my soul
And tonight I thought I’d be just sitting in my sorrow.

And now I must wonder why, what did it really mean to you?
I just can’t see it anymore, I just can’t see it anymore
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oooohhhh

[Ren_sama]

lol. wow, I never noticed that the song had such...interesting...lyrics...XD

[Solid Ronin]

[quote="Heart of Sword"]Oh! I love that song. ^^]

Thanks although ya didnt have to (I got good ears for singing)..And yes..strage lycris..indeed

[Saint]

Yes i think that was my favorite Kenshin opening and for endings i really like the one that says "Ciao" all through out it.

[Kokhiri Sojourn]

This song is like a happy drug for me (if you'll indulge my similie... let's think legal - Nitrous Oxide! Gotta love laughing gas!). Just reading the words made me all giddy! I think.... I should.... go now.......

[mikas]

hahaha love that song, specially cause impersionating the voice as you sing drives friends and family insane, unless of course they happen to be singing too *glances at ducky, both burst into song* ".... those silly horoscopes i guess i can't trust them after aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllll" (heh sorry favorite part)

[SwordSkill]

There's even a Dance Dance Rev version of the "official" English remake, on DDR's 6th mix. A remake of a remake, so to speak. It has different lyrics too; goes like this:

What am I, what I am, what what what (uh!)

What am I gonna do, if I can't get through
Counting all these freckles in my life
It's just a waste of my time
And there's no finishing line

How am I gonna do, if I can not get you
To listen to the dreams we could fulfill
Can't get them out of my bed
I want to knock them down the stairs

I check the stars, but there's no sign
Venus to Mars there is no line, baby
I could be happy
If you still loved me

Still your memory's clear
Always here deep inside my heart
(Deep inside my heart)
I want you back to come and feed my appetite
Another lonely night
It's our life, why aren't you around
(Why aren't you around)

I'm all alone, thinking
Here my eyes fill with fear
It's my life, why are you not here

[Heart of Sword]

Knock them down the stairs? What-what-what?

[Aka-chan]

That's funny!

I had actually heard the song long before I knew anything about Rurouni Kenshin, and since the series title is in Japanese (and I was only first year Japanese), I just kind of assumed the series was a lot like the song in what it dealt with. Imagine my surprise when I actually watched Kenshin!

[Heart of Sword]

Yeah, "Freckles" doesn't exactly fit...heh...

[AngelSakura]

According to some person at anime lyrics, this is more accurate. But the direct translation doesn't fit the beats....
Daikirai datta sobakasu wo chotto
Hitonadeshite tame iki wo hitotsu
Hebi ikkyuu no koi wa migoto ni
Kakuzatou to isshoni toketa
Mae yori mo motto yaseta mune ni chotto
"Chiku" tto sasaru toge ga itai
Hoshiuranai mo ate ni naranai wa
I touched those hated freckles lightly and sighed,
My "heavy class" love has dissolved clearly
Just like a sugarcube.
The thorn stuck in my thin breast went in further
And hurt much more than before.
Astrology didn't predict that at all.
Motto touku made isshoni yuketara nee
Ureshikute sore dakede
I wished we could go together farther,
It would be joyful enough to...
Omoi de wa itsumo kirei dakedo
Sore dake ja onaka ga suku wa
Honto wa setsunai yoru nanoni
Doushite kashira?
Ano hito no egao mo omoi dasenai no
Memories are always beautiful,
But with only that you can't live.
Tonight should be a really sad night,
But why? Actually I can't remember his smiling face.
Kowashite naoshite wakatteru noni
Sore ga atashi no seikaku dakara
Modokashii kimochi de ayafuya no mama de
Soredemo ii koi wo shitekita
I understand breaking apart and putting back together
Because that's my personality;
With impatient feelings and uncertainty
Which nevertheless are capable of good love.
Omoikiri aketa hidari mimi no piasu ni wa nee
Waraenai episoudo
I pierced my left ear to forget,
It's an episode I can't laugh about.
Sobakasu no kazu wo kazoetemiru
Yogoretanui gurumi daite
Mune wo sasu toge wa kienai kedo
Kaeru-chan mo usagi-chan mo
Waratte kureru no
Counting up the number of freckles
Embracing the spots and all
But the thorn piercing my breast won't disappear.
My stuffed frog and rabbit
Smile and comfort me.
Omoi de wa itsumo kirei dakedo
Sore dake ja onaka ga suku no
Honto wa setsunai yoru nanoni
Doushite kashira?
Ano hito no namida mo omoi dasenai no?
Omoidasenai no
Doushitenano?
Memories are always beautiful,
But with only that you can't live.
It was a really tough night I wonder why though?
Why can't I remember that person's tears?
I can't remember, Why can't I?

Whoa..... different.

[Ren_sama]

wow. . .that is quite different. . .O_o

Yea, Freckles is a good song, but my favorite Ruro Ken song is probably "Ice Blue Eyes" and "It's Gonna Rain"...^_^
