Hey guys! English lyrics are here.. enjoy :)
BALLAD - AYUMI HAMASAKIAwakened in the middle of a dream
I could feel that my lashes were wet
And I remembered the words that said
“I beg you, please don’t ever leave me”
I have this growing feeling for you
And this feeling never really changes
My respect and adoration for you
Are always unbeaten and unshakable
*The red sky at sunset today
Reminded me of you; so tender and soft
I shouted like it wasn’t a dream this time
And I was screaming, begging you “please don’t go”
These memories will never disappear
But they never cease to increase
The words that I’m not allowed to say are
“I beg you, please, always stay with me”
Just maybe I can no longer hold on
Pretending to be so prim and so strong
My love for you will never be removed
Just by holding myself down to the ground
**The moonlight that gazes upon me tonight
Is the guide from heavan that you gave to me
You turn your back towards me and I,
I can no longer see it - “Please stay with me”
*
**
“I beg you solemnly, please, just for now”
Bokor Hill Station, Cambodia (via)
Bokor Hill Station is an abandoned French town in Preah Monivong National Park, located in northern Cambodia.
The town was built in 1921 as a resort by the colonial French settlers to offer an escape from the heat, humidity and general insalubrity of Phnom Penh. Nine hundred lives were lost in nine months during the construction of the resort in this remote mountain location. The centrepiece of the resort was the grand Bokor Palace Hotel & Casino, complemented by shops, a post office, a church and the Royal Apartments. It is also an important cultural site, showing how the colonial settlers spent their free time.
Bokor Hill was abandoned first by the French in late 1940s, during the First Indochina War, because of local insurrections guided by the Khmer Issarak, and then for good in 1972, as Khmer Rouge took over the area. During the Vietnamese invasion in 1979, Khmer Rouge entrenched themselves and held on tightly for months. In earlier 1990s Bokor Hill was still one of the last strongholds of Khmer Rouge.
Now abandoned, most of the buildings are still standing. The site is owned by the government but is under 99–year lease to the Sokimex Group who are undertaking to relay the road and redevelop the site, repairing the old hotel and casino along with new buildings.
Who you’re hiding from, buddy?
