| I've been wanting to do an AMV for Iroh for a while now, so I decided to finally make one. I used the song Fukai Mori by D-A-I, one of the closing songs for the anime "Inuyasha" This song may not fit Iroh in every way but it was the only song I had that would even remotely work. It has a few meanings inside of it, like Iroh's loss of his son Luten and then taking Zuko under his wing as his own, and also him just plainly being one kickass firebender. =D The song can describe his loss of Luten and also how wise Iroh is.
This video is dedicated to Mako, the man who voiced Iroh and had died earlier in the year. Below are the Romanji (Japanese) Lyrics, along with the english translation. (Note: They might not and probably aren't fully correct, but since I don't know a lot of Japanese I can't tell so please forgive me if they are wrong! I did the best I could to find proper lyrics and translations. Enjoy!

Romanji Lyrics
fukai fukai mori no oku ni ima mo kitto
okizari ni shita kokoro kakushite'ru yo
sagasu hodo no chikara mo naku tsukarehateta
hitobito wa eien no yami ni kieru
chisai mama nara kitto ima demo mieta ka na
boku-tachi wa ikiru hodo ni
nakushite'ku sukoshi zutsu
itsuwari ya uso wo matoi
tachisukumu koe mo naku
aoi aoi sora no iro mo kidzukanai mama
sugite yuku mainichi ga kawatte yuku
tsukurareta wakugumi wo koe ima wo ikite
sabitsuita kokoro mata ugokidasu yo
toki no RIZUMU wo shireba mo ichido toberu darou
boku-tachi wa samayoi nagara
ikite yuku doko made mo
shinjite'ru hikari motome
arukidasu kimi to ima
boku-tachi wa ikiru hodo ni
nakushite'ku sukoshi zutsu
itsuwari ya uso wo matoi
tachisukumu koe mo naku
boku-tachi wa samayoi nagara
ikite yuku doko made mo
furikaeru michi wo tozashi
aruite'ku eien ni
tachisukumu koe mo naku
ikite yuku eien ni
Translated Lyrics
In this deep, deep forest,
I'm sure I left my heart behind.
Tired without the strength to search,
people vanish in the darkness of eternity.
If it is small as it is now, I wonder if I can even see it.
As we live on,
we lose things little by little.
Shrouded in deceptions and lies,
we stand on one spot, unable to cry out.
The days go on passing by and changeing,
without us realizing the color of the blue, blue sky.
Overcoming false opinions,we live in the present,
and our rusted hearts start to beat again.
If we know the rthym of time, then we can fly once more.
We live our lives while,
wandering the ends of the earth.
Seeking the light we believe in,
I now begin my walk with you.
As we live on,
we lose things little by little.
Shrouded in deceptions and lies,
we stand on one spot, unable to cry out.
We live our lives,
wandering the ends of the earth.
When we look back, the path is shut,
walking for eternity. |
