Hope in the darkness

[Allah loves you]

I was jdorama-baited for pursuing study in Japan. 

I was -am still actually- a fan of japan idol group(s). Bitter truth
Pretty much a big fan once, to the extend of remembering everyone's profile. Should have used that memory power on something more beneficial *sigh 

I was distracted from the lagha-ness, once, due to study-and-persatuan-workloads.
Not to forget, a big 'thanks' to the harddisk-got-virused-from-senpai's-laptop-crashed-and-everything's-gone. 

Beautiful-lovely-happy days continue passing.
For forever or I thought.


But nothing could stop His will.

I was thrown away from the life I loved, by the persons I trusted -- used to or should.
A complete checkmate. A complete darkness.


And it was that time when I suddenly stumbled on a recent drama which lead me to the theme song and later to the vocals of the song. Again!

But, Allah loves me.

Between lyrics' lines, precise arrows hit directly

Of the scripted dramas, portrayed beautifully the harshness of reality

From random articles and interviews, slices of life being echoed silently

In the stupid jokes of varieties, clearly hidden sorrowful loneliness shadowed by plastered smiles 

I learnt a lot.

Just a lot and too much.

As much as Allah loves me

He always wants me to be on track

That He even messaged through the negligence

君もここに来るのかい？
Are you going to come here too?

生きて行こうか　すべて受け止め
Let's keep on living　Accepting everything

大地にそっと咲いた花のように美しく
Beautiful like a flower that gently blooms on the ground

今　夜が明けて行く　聞こえるか？
Now, the dawn is breaking　Can you hear it?

導かれてく　目指すべき場所へ
Being led to the place we should be aiming for

光と影　反比例
Light and shadow　Direct opposites

馴染むことなく絶え間なく　揺れて
Without ever blending in, yet always wavering

新しい風の薫りがした　海の向こう
From beyond the ocean, there was the scent of a new wind blowing

加減知らずの情熱だけを　信じたなら
The passion that you didn't know how to hold back　If that's all you believed in...

突き抜けるのさ　目指すべき場所へ
Then break through　To the place we should be aiming for

素晴らしき明日へ　素晴らしき明日へ
To a wonderful tomorrow　To a wonderful tomorrow

満天の星のように　生まれた神秘
Mysteries that were born just like the sky full of stars

不思議な力　点し　闇の彼方　辿り
With a strange power, they light our way　Follow the path out of the darkness

無限の扉　開き　未開拓な道を　駆け抜けてゆけ
Opening an infinite number of doors　Run through on an unexplored path

目指すべき場所へ
To the place we should be aiming for
　
素晴らしき明日へ
To a wonderful tomorrow

Truly,

Allah loves me

Allah loves you

Allah loves everyone


Simply grateful for everything
For I am who I am now
