KOKIA - Erika

Track 10 of the album Songbird released in 1999. In Youtube there isn't a good video with this song, which I think it's a shame.

Lyrics:
PAPA ya MAMA nimo ie nakatta
Nayami katami akashita yoru ga atta yo ne
Wake mo naku gakkou sa hottari
Doushite ka namida ga koboretari
Nandaka zuibun mae no koto no you ni kanjiru ne
Nee Erika

Yoru no machi ni akogaretari
Mainichi aeru no ni denwa wo shitari
Nanjikan mo itsumono kisaten de
Hanashita yume no koto wasure nai de
Nandaka zuibun mae no koto no you ni kanjiru ne
Nee Erika

Ima futari wa betsubetsu no michi wo aruki hajimeteru kedo
Wasure naide donna ni kewashii michi mo
Futari katatta yume no tame ni aru koto wo

Susume mayou koto naku kimi no eranda michi wo
Susume mayou koto naku furikaeru koto naku

Ichiban ushiro no tokutouseki
Kahan makura ni yoku nemutta yo ne
Shiken mae no ichiya duke mo
Futari sorotte nemucchatta yo ne
Nandaka zuibun mae no koto no you ni kanjiru ne
Nee Erika

Omoidashite fuan darake datta futari wa deatta ano hi ni
Masaka konna ni mo suteki na toki ga sugoseru nante
Omoi mo shinakatta yo ne
Korekara mo zutto...

Susume mayou koto naku kimi no eranda michi wo
Susume mayou koto naku furikaeru koto naku

Futari nami heta kata no nukumori wa
Sabishii toki nagusamete kureru kara
Watashi ga watashi rashiku irareru nomo
Takusan no tomodachi to anata ga ite kureru kara
Nee Erika

There were times we stayed up all night
Telling each other our worries that I couldn't even tell Papa and Mama
Skipping school for no reason,
For some reason, my eyes well up with tears,
Somehow, it feels very long, long ago, doesn't it, Erika?

Adoring the city at night,
Calling each other even though we saw each other every day,
Don't forget the dreams we spent countless hours discussing in coffee shops,
Somehow, it feels very long, long ago, doesn't it, Erika?

Now, we've begun to walk different roads,
But don't forget, no matter how perilous the way,
For the sake of the dreams we shared with one another.

Go forward, without wavering,
On the path you've chosen,
Go forward, without wavering,
Without looking back.

We slept so well, didn't we,
In the back of the room, with our bags as our pillows?
We fell asleep together, even on nights before exams when we planned to stay up and study,
Somehow, it feels very long, long ago, doesn't it, Erika?

Remember, on the day full of worries when we met,
We never thought for a moment that we would spend
Such a wonderful time together,
And forever more. . .

Go forward, without wavering,
On the path you've chosen,
Go forward, without wavering,
Without looking back.

The warmth from when we stood shoulder to shoulder
Comforts me when I'm lonely
I can be myself
Because of my many friends, and you,
Right, Erika?
