Goodbye Winter a.k.a Driving in the Silence full album translation summary


Firstly, we have officially reached 20,000 hits. I am slightly amazed but thank you to everyone who has visited this blog over the past four years (yes, I am surprised it has been four years as well...) and I hope you will continue to visit in future.

Back on topic.
 
Kaijyuu_M wrote a rather lovely translation of the song ‘Driving in the Silence’ a couple of months ago and I have been meaning to link to it for quite some time. I shall thus publish this post to all collect all the album lyrics together including a link to Kaijyuu_M’s translation below.

I hope he doesn’t mind too much, but I am far too much of an admirer of his work to try writing my own after reading his. Quite often I yield to other translations when they are available! Unless it is a song I really, really feel strongly about or there are no other translations available, I prefer to read the written word of others.

I hope you enjoyed the album even more after reading the English (I will post a link to Frecklegirl's translations when she's posted hers on her site too). 

It’s pretty much spring now, so I guess we should all follow Maaya’s advice to put away the CD until winter comes round again in November. Or earlier if you live in a cold country, of course.
