The Little Mermaid - English Lyrics

Original translation by hibliskiss, edited by mois, I hope you enjoy.

I WORKED VERY HARD ON THESE, PLEASE DO NOT USE THESE LYRICS WITHOUT CREDITING ME! THANK YOU!

(Words in Italics are spoken, rather than sung.)

MEGURINE LUKA: (Vocalizing)

Even though I’m destined to become sea foam,

My love for you will live on without me.

After dissolving into the sky,

I’ll continue to watch over you.

(Sea Witch speaking): When you turn fifteen,

You may go up to the surface.

Gazing from the ocean, longing to be closer,

To reach out and touch that starry, moonlit sky.

Underneath the waters, I dreamt of the day

When I could rise out and see these silver lights.

Under thick clouds, ‘neath pounding waves,

I saw you sink to the bottom of the ocean that day.

These feelings, the first feelings in my life, were of love;

Ah, how painful such love can be…

Even though my legs ache like treading on knives,

I will endure it if I can stay by your side.

The dancing pains me but still I’ll twirl on

And continue to watch over you.

Too late did I realize: there’s no hope for us,

For you’ll never know how much I love you.

No matter how loudly my screams go unheard;

You continue to return to her arms.

Standing on the deck, my sisters called to me,

Throwing me a gleaming silver dagger.

Telling me to kill him to regain my tail--

“I can’t….”

(Sister’s voices): “Return! Return!

Sing deep within the sea!

Come and live forever!

Join our sweet melodies!”

I poured all my love for you into a song.

And though my voice is far beyond your ears,

I’ll continue to sing on without ending,

Hoping that you’ll hear me on the wind.

Even though I’m destined to become sea foam,

My love for you will live on without me.

After dissolving into the sky,

I’ll continue to watch over you.
