No, it's not a request, I know how to use Google. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in my English lyrics, based heavily on the original. I had to make stuff up to fit the meter, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, especially the last verse. I'm also working on expanding it to the long version of the song, but it's pretty time-consuming.

SPOILER WARNING (sorta; the original also could be considered a spoiler due to its heavy foreshadowing, this version is even more so)

Midway through the long, wand'ring uphill climb,
You went down a strange new road
I stand at the spot where our paths converged,
Not knowing why to carry on.
My memory turns
Back to sunshine and warmth,
And I think I can feel
In your footprints, a long-passed spring.

It was always you.
You, you alone,
Were the one
That I loved,
My tears are lost
As I face the wind,
You slip from
My cold hand.

This day and always,
I will remember,
Worlds live and die but
This is forever.
It was a simple
Only a simple
Tiny and quiet
Ordinary thing.
Into my care a
Newborn dream given,
Brought me to life
And led me to heaven.
This last memento
I'll guard and treasure,
Now and forevermore.

EDIT: I wasn't really sure which forum to put this in. I guess this forum fits better than any of the others...
