Aiko: ChouChou Musubi
03.06.18
Artist: Aiko Title: Chouchou Musubi (Butterfly Ties) Words: Aiko Music: Aiko Our eyes met just at the moment in the afternoon when the yellow butterflies were out, surely because we have something special. My lovely one, fluttering about in the big sky, what kind of flower will you land on? I'm going to wait and see. Before the night comes, before the darkness visits hold me hold me to lull me. I swear if we had met earlier in this same way it would have been love. So I'll dream of you again tonight to put the feelings I can't say into words. into your loose shadow, glowing on my slightly flushed cheeks. because you gently wrap around even my beat-up knees take a step forward. bloom bloom even if you fall completely apart, I'll collect you up, and before you can bemoan with the usual sadness I'll tie us to this unforgettable joy. Translated By: Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma Translator's Notes: The name of the song ChouChou Musubi usually refers to a bowtie, but could also mean "a butterfly knot" in this case it refers to The butterflies at the beginning and the 'knot' or 'ties' Aiko uses to hold together the happiness.
