Seal makes the song epic, Angela makes the song melancholic. I don't know which one's better, but I can tell you I shed manly tears of happiness at both versions. XD
I like it but seal is so much better in my opinion still I love (Japanese ?) Asian's especially their material arts I love jiu-jitsu (Japanese not shitty BJJ)
@lylaben Hmm, first, lyric translations: I was born as a wanderer Baby, my heart knows no home I wandered around till I arrived at the world called you Planting a red seed of passion which bloomed into a rose Baby, I'm finally giving in to you but it's too late to wave the white flag If this love is dead, kill me with a kiss ... But did you know, that when it snows, my eyes become enlarged And the light that you shine can be seen Lyric credits to Jonathan Wu from cherryblossom-garden. com
@KonnichiwaSushi Now from the first part, she was born a wanderer. My interpretation is that she didn't love him yet, and she was still searching for love. She showed interest in him and planted a *seed*. Near the end she says that when it snows, she can see the light that he shines. (His purity, her love for him) She's finally giving in [to love] The seed finally blooms.
@KonnichiwaSushi But she says that it's too late. I guess by the time she realized her feelings for him, he has moved on. If this love [your love] is dead, kill me with a kiss [show me one more sign of affection] From my interpretation, Angela is the grave. The more roses[kisses] she gets from him, the stranger she feels[about her love for him]. Now that your rose [Angela's realization of love] is in bloom, a light hits the gloom on the grave. [She is no longer the light in his eyes]
I'm in love with this song
