Sako Tomohisa - Love Pattern (恋模様) & Because You’re Here (君がいるから)
The last two songs from T-kun's single, Bye Bye: Love Pattern and Because You're Here. Sako Tomohisa Songs Translation Masterpost here.
Love Pattern is a song of falling in love and looking towards the future. It's slightly different to his previous songs in that a few of the verses are talked out rather than sung, which sounds really nice. (Psst, you can buy the album to listen to it for yourself here!) Because You're Here, focuses on appreciating what you have and the people who supported you.
Love Pattern (恋模様)
I went out one day, forgetting my umbrella
And the rain caught me unawares
My favorite shoes were soaked, and
I was leaping over the puddles in my path
It was then that you
Offered me half of your umbrella
It melted away my uneasiness, and
I fell in love with you
No matter how cloudy it is
Or how heavily the rain pours
I’m always watching you
Until my feelings reach you
The rain will always stop
As long as I think of you
I always believe that
The sun will surely shine out
Hey, I don’t know what the future holds
But I hope that this love will bear fruit
The cloudy sky will become clear
That’s my love pattern
I walked alone today as well
While thinking about you
I remembered that you were always alone
And walked looking down, unhappy
At those times, I think
I’d like to be by your side
Even if you don't want to look up
I wish for the rain to stop
No matter how cloudy it is
Or how heavily the rain pours
Even if the grey clouds obscure you
I’ll definitely find you again
The night will always end
As I spend another night thinking of you
I always believe that
Morning will surely come
Hey, even if I can’t see the stars tonight
It will definitely reach you
The dark sky will become clear
That’s my love pattern
When it seems you’ll be swallowed by the dark skies
Or when it seems your tears are about to fall
Until the cold rain stops,
Let’s take sweet shelter together
Since surely, the sun will shine once more…
The night will always end
As I spend another night thinking of you
I always believe that
Morning will surely come
The rain will always stop
As long as I think of you
I always believe that
The sun will surely shine out
Hey, I don’t know what the future holds
But I hope that this love will bear fruit
The cloudy sky will become clear
That’s my love pattern
That’s our love pattern.
TN: 模様 means pattern, but it can also relate to weather, so it's kinda, "Love (Weather) Pattern"
Because You’re Here (君がいるから)
Although we can hardly meet
As soon as we do, our faces light up
Yesterday’s unease and worry
Flies away immediately
I feel so embarrassed, I can never say it
But I feel it from the bottom of my heart
By you being here, just by that
I’ve been saved so, so many times
That I can laugh naturally
That I’m never alone
It’s because I’ve been supported by
So many people, that I’m the way I am, now
So thank you, thank you
In the middle of these repetitive days
There are days I feel I’ll forget
But it was you who taught me
What was really important
The time I spend with you is
So fun, time seems to fly
These irreplaceable moments, these times
I wish they’d just continue forever…
If I had continued to laugh naturally
Would you laugh for me as well?
Since we’re always connected
Beneath the same sky
Your warm, gentle voice
Wipes away my tears
And that warmth, has always
Wrapped ‘round my heart
That I can laugh naturally
That I’m never alone
It’s because so many coincidences have piled up
That I can be here, now
That there are people important to me
That people say to me, “Thank you”
It’s because you’re smiling, right now
That I’m the way I am, now
So thank you, thank you.
