On July 16th 2009, Westenra performed at the Opening Ceremony of the World Games 2009 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, singing Tears For You (涙そうそう), a Japanese-Okinawaian folk song.
Turning the pages of old photographs
I whisper thanks to each and every one
Deep in my heart you have come, come to live
Sure as the sun to see me through
Come rain or shine however the day may be
You shelter me with your smile
However far your memories may fade
Traces of you I hope to find
Then you appear and I drown in my own tears
I wish on a star, the first star of the night
You'll find me here every evening of the year
As twilight approaches I look to the sky
Seaching for you with all of my heart
In grief and joy I long for you and your smile
Hoping you feel the way I do
If only you could find me from where you are
I do believe somewhere in time
I do believe I will see you once again
Come rain or shine however the day may be
You shelter me with your smile
But as each memory of you fades away
I'm so alone longing for you
You're on my mind as I drown in my own tears
会いたくて (I'm missing you)
会いたくて (I'm missing you)
君への想い 涙そうそう (You're on my mind as I drown in my own tears)
髪をアップにしたヘイリーも可愛いですね。観客や競技者が頻繁に映るのが難点ですが・・・。
最後の日本語の部分は特に気に入っています。
