One thing I've always found interesting is that we all of course love Winter's Story, but no one ever speaks about Melody Lane (the j-drama version). Of course, it's not even as remotely iconic as the og, but I think we all need to listen to it at least one time.
Also, here you can find the translated lyrics for both of the songs!
Melody Lane
Don’t go away, don’t let me go Keep smiling in the corner of my heart Don’t stop, don’t let it end Still remaining Melody Lane
I was dreaming of the old days looking close In a chilly day, the humming faded into the sky Your beautiful profile standing on the beach Too naïve to tell you anything
Letting the past times repeat Drowned in wondering to myself It’ll never come back no matter how I try
Don’t go away, don’t let me go The smell and heat you left Are still in my heart Don’t stop, don’t let it end I’ll play the rest of the song Which stopped at that time Still remaining Melody Lane
Collecting our memories Melted in long long days And break them again Silly promises, laughter And words I shouldn’t have told you
Don’t go away, don’t let me go I can’t forget The smell and heat you left That memory and that movement Here I’ll sing The rest of the song which suddenly stopped
In the city without you To tomorrow without you Keep playing this Melody Lane
Winter's Story
Just like the shade of snow That hasn't completely melted I carry on with these feelings inside me Hey, with what words Should I close the door of this love?
Your everything has lost its eternal tomorrow And now it's wandering around eternally Along with me Who was unable to say goodbye or move on from you
Just like a spell that's still unbroken Or maybe it's some kind of curse I'm still holding on to my thoughts Hey, what kind of tomorrow Should I look for in this town?
The cold tears that fall Freeze under the sky They're just pretending to be kind As they fall down my face Two people who were always together are now torn apart That's all there is to this story
Even if your everything loses its shape one day You'll always be here with me As I try to move on again Even though I couldn't say goodbye to you I’ll carry on because I know You’ll always be with me
