Fullmetal Achemist - English Opening

"Melissa" by Porno Graffiti

Lyrics : Haruichi Shindou
Compositions/Arrangement : ak. homma

~~~~

Take the memories of distant days,
tear them up with your own hands,
and squeeze the life
out of your sorrows for me.

Come on, and pierce my heart
as it years for your love!

Looking at the sky,
thinking tomorrow must be coming,
it's to much for my
captivated heart to take.

As a bird flutters along beside me,
I wonder where he managed to find his light.
Say, would you carry me along
on your back as well?

And leave me at the highest place there is,
faraway from kindness?

Take the memories of distant days,
tear them up with your own hands,
and squeeze the life
out of your sorrows for me.

Come on, and pierce my heart
as it years for your love!

Fullmetal Alchemist - English Closing

"Kesenal Tsumi" by Nana Kitade

Lyrics : Nana Kitade
Composition/Arrangement : Susumu Nishikawa

~~~~

With you always in my sight,
I can manage to draw breath.
And for me, that ought to be
enough in itself, and yet...

All little old me ever does
is repeat the same old mistakes.
How much strength do I need to come by
before I can get by
without hurting anything?

I am not going to stray,
I'm going to trust this love,
and with it I will go on living!
I'm going to take these wounds,
the ones that will not close,
and squeeze them tight!

The two of us must keep on walking,
since we can never return again.
Even now, deep within my heart,
I still feel the pain of this indelible sin.

Darling.
