Bird And The Bee, The - Love Letter To Japan Lyrics






From the west to the east I have flown to be near you
I have come all this way to be close, to be here with you
And now, all my heart I will lay down precisely at your feet

My beloved, oh my sweet
All the gifts you have given me
The patience and the peace,
Cherry blossoms and the candy,
I am yours, I am yours
For as long, for as long as you will have me

Dearest one, I had a dream
I mouthed the words,
The sound came out,
I spoke to you in Japanese
Oh, my love I cannot see, I heard your name
I know at once there was no place I'd rather be
All at once there was no place that I would rather be

From the west to the east I have flown to be near you
I have come all this way to be close, to be here with you
And now, all my heart I will lay down precisely at your feet

My beloved, oh my sweet
All the gifts you have given me
The patience and the peace,
Cherry blossoms and the candy,
I am yours, I am yours
For as long, for as long as you will have me

I packed my bag, I'm on my way
I am prepared for any season
I am prepared to stay
Here is my heart, my beating heart
Oh, how I'm longing for this love affair to start
How I'm longing for this love affair to finally start

From the west to the east I have flown to be near you
I have come all this way to be close, to be here with you
And now, all my heart I will lay down precisely at your feet

My beloved, oh my sweet
All the gifts you have given me
The patience and the peace,
Cherry blossoms and the candy,
I am yours, I am yours
For as long, for as long as you will have me

Nishi kara higashi eto
(From the west to the east)
Anata no tokoro ni tondekitano
(I have flown to be near you)
Tooi michinori o anata no soba ni itakute
(I have come all this way to be close, to be here with you)
Kono omoi o subete anata ni sasagemasu
(And now, all my heart I will lay down precisely at your feet)

From the west to the east I have flown to be near you
I have come all this way to be close, to be here with you
And now, all my heart I will lay down precisely at your feet

My beloved, oh my sweet
All the gifts you have given me
The patience and the peace,
Cherry blossoms and the candy,
I am yours, I am yours
For as long, for as long as you will have me

  25. P.... H....

    Sounds like Lilly Allen.No?

  26. H.... ....

    This was me learning how to play DDR in 2000

  27. s.... s....

    IS SHE A WEABOO???!!!

  28. �.... ....

    Heard it at the closing ceremony at Animazement 2018. Love this to bits.

  29. K.... C....

    This song brings me a lot of memories from my first and only love.

  30. J.... W....

    He's dancing for the girl, but seems a little awkward to have the dude there staring at you also. ;) And in the end (3:38), he's still all alone lol ;) Poor guy.

  31. Y.... ....

    I fuckin love this song since 10 years ago

  32. M.... C....

    Family Arcade! I used to go here all the times with my buddies. Good times.

  33. m.... ....

    펌프 게임기인데 화면은 DDR이라서 슬픈.. 그래도 노래는 최고

  34. M.... L....

    Moment's favourite song:-*

  35. I.... L....

    Who was first place?!

    2:07 . That guy is first place.

    Clearly so disgruntled at having been pushed abruptly off of the machine after one of his first satisfying runs, he dedicated the rest of the afternoon to replaying this song over over over again. The same thing the next day, and the next.
    He could do it in his sleep. He could do it in a car. He could do it on a Czar. He could DO it was the main point. And he did. He did it so good and so hard and so well that, well...
    He beat the main character of this film. What a bummer! We weren't even rooting for this guy :'-)

    This was my favorite song of this album but the others are more popular. I don't like this music video. This song fit in SO fucking well with the 2008 alt pop scene. But the others...well...They're just badass pop songs. They have the staying power. But this song has "it" because that 2008 alt scene was so fucking ::epic::.

  36. B.... R....

    This song is so addictive that you'd want to put it on loop while driving a Lamborghini late night on secluded streets in Japan with warm/cool summer breezes blowing in your face & through your hair !!!

  37. A.... ....

    2nd place?

  38. m.... a....

    Bought and Paid for buy the Greatest Deceiver... ;)

  39. S.... C....

    I imagind the music video much different in my head

  40. a.... ....

    "2nd place"

  41. U.... V....

    Dave Grohl brought me here!

  42. N.... H....

    listening to this in june 2017!!!!

  43. J.... A....

    Finally found it!!!

  44. S.... J....

    I'm in love with Inara and Greg

  45. P.... T....

    Hooo hooo hooo

    P.... T....

    oh hoooo hoooo

  46. B.... P....

    i searched for this song 10000 years , i m ready to die now

  47. S.... B....

    I love this song more than anything ever!!!

  48. P.... K....

    Makes me sad that the Family Arcade is gone.

  49. F.... D....

    From Polite Dance Song to this...I love Bird and the Bee's cringy yet delightful MVs.

    F.... D....

    never ,until you mentioned it... I'll always hear it now...lol

    S.... ....

    "I will tell you, so badly, 'Eat That Booty!' "

  72. S.... M....

    I absolutely love this song, I'm going into 8th and I've loved it since 2nd, and no one knows it ): I listen to a lot of rock as well so no one at school really relates to my taste in music /: such as breaking Benjamin or Metallica

    S.... M....

    +Sold My Soul 2 Rock N' Roll so much angst.

  73. s.... ....

    Say NO to orientalism.

    s.... ....

    +snowsafins i agree

  74. A.... ....

    PUMP IT UP machine and DDR visuals. Such a shame.

  75. j.... f....

    This is such a great song but the portion in Japanese is so cringeworthy.

    j.... f....

    For some reason, I think it makes the song. I love the Bird and The Bee.

  76. J.... J....

    This is amazing stuff. I hate figuring this shit out years late.

  77. t.... ....

    g.... ....

    for real if I was getting paid to make this music video I wouldn't do something as sloppy as that. It's just sloppy!

  80. P.... G....

    Anyone else think that he's a rude a***hole for shoving the guy off the machine without even saying anything?? I hate him and his dumb haircut.

    P.... G....

    +areacode212 Love has no patience, my friend.

  81. G.... M....

    Does this song speak to teenage anime fanatics as well as I think it does?

    G.... M....

    feels pretty weeby up in here.
    That Buddha is what killed me tho.

    G.... M....

    (just so we're clear, i like the song. It's just the content makes me somewhat weary)

  82. B.... A....

    I love Japan

  83. I.... V....

  88. A.... ....

    They really outdid themselves with this album.

  89. A.... E....

    BUT WHO WAS FIRST PLACE?!

    A.... E....

    I like how it made him second place, he still has work to do

    A.... E....

    watching this  in youtube ,yes!
    firt time  was in MTV ♥ ,a long times ago 

    A.... E....

    My guess is that it is the Bee, in other words the gentleman in the band opposite the lead singer, but I'm probably mistaken.

    A.... E....

    But who was phone?!

    A.... E....

    Maybe it was the guy in the beginning.

  90. e.... c....

    weaboo anthem?

    e.... c....

    wrong one friend.

    weaboo anthem is Turning Japanese by The Vapors

    e.... c....

    @Mardo Turning Japanese has nothing to do with Japan, it's literally about masturbation.

    e.... c....

    if you're digging that deep

    e.... c....

    @Mardo yeah, most people know this. it's not really a secret.

  91. L.... B....

    I just cant with this song! Its frickin turnt to the max! I cant deal! I LOVE!

  92. (.... i....

    mainstream is just lost.
