  • It's been a while since I wrote English lyrics and although this one took close to a week to complete it was fun tackling this cover. Because the original translation was difficult to work with, I tried to stick with themes in the game which I think worked out better.
    Karma is on my side this time... I hope... We will see...

    Lyrics:
    A single glass bead that felt to the floor
    I went to pick it up but then felt one more
    But when I search the place that light hit
    it’s seems only one has made it
    My heart beats in this moment in time
    All I think about now is my true crime
    I just want to be free now
    Live a normal life somehow
    So now I must face the sins of my past
    endure a suffering that’s yet come to pass
    If the memories I hold fade away
    all I need to do is find my own new way
    Surely I know, that in the future we will meet
    Use our hearts as a guide and then our journey will be complete
    I am calling for you
    Though you’re far I will see it through
    Even though there are many reasons that pile on to say not to live
    Even in birth, you have much to give
    Life’s even where the eyes cannot see
    It’s given me some time on how my life should be
    The two of us may share a birthright
    But only one can see the light
    That single glass bead that felt to the floor
    Another thing came out I couldn’t ignore
    And now I have my own path not depended anymore
    I remember I was counting all day
    At some point the numbers made me all haze
    I was made to believe in one thing
    That between zero and one ain’t nothing
    For the first time, I know that we will meet
    Follow the signs and all those in the way will know defeat
    So you cannot forget
    I’m here without any regret
    Let us bury all those nasty reasons so that we can start to build
    And that is when, our promise will be fulfilled
    We’re a reflection
    Reveal our imperfection
    But know that karma is there to connect us
    So each time our tainted hands connect through this mirror glass
    I feel my sins become past
    I am right here for you
    We are close I can feel it too
    We are both here in the sun that is not meant for us two
    Let us both enjoy the sun before we join to start anew
    So please do not forget
    I’m here without any regret
    I’m calling from within the very same glass bead from than
    I do now know for sure, that we will meet again
    Build a bridge upon the sunken reasons strong enough for us to run
    So that our promise is truly done
    And we can finally become one

    I'm a simple man. I see a Karma cover, I click.
    I have to give kudos to anyone who attempts to write their own English lyrics for Karma since it's notoriously difficult to accomplish.

    Very few artists I've heard make good English covers, either the singer is trying too hard to do something they can't or the lyrics have terrible flow, but this is definitely one of the best cover's I've heard ever. Actually sounds like the original artist but you clearly know your singing strengths, along with the great lyrics. Would definitely want to hear more.

I've heard other English covers for this song but they haven't managed to convert the Japanese lyrics with such feelings like yours. Others' seem like they're just singing the translation but you've done a great job with rhyming and metaphors.
