P-Model - "Frozen Beach" Lyrics

[phonon_belt]

If I understand this correctly, "Frozen Beach" was released by P-Model in 1984 and again in 1989, then covered by Mr. Hirasawa on his first solo album in 1989, and subsequently remixed by P-Model in 1995. O_o What a song. My favorite is the super-techno version from Scuba Recycle in 1995. This song made me realize that--like in "Venus" or maybe "Mermaid Song"--Hirasawa really does use the motif of drowning/being submerged in water as the way to meet with "you" again fairly often. Interesting.


P-Model - "Frozen Beach"

出会いの場所はそもこのFROZEN　BEACH
君に驚異と敬意で考える
あしたからの出来事のまえぶれに
古代の涙ひとつも流させて

OH･･････

二人の影の落ちて行く先
海の原子と分子に恥を知る
過去知り合う人だけに想い出す
科学と祈りのはざまFROZEN　BEACH

OH･･････

仲深まる程に消える口数
夢の合図と秘密で息をつく
あといくつの現を想いながら
溶けた海の底で君に会えるか？

OH･･････



P-Model - "Frozen Beach"

Deai no basho wa somo kono FROZEN BEACH
Kimi ni kyoui to keii de kangaeru
Ashita kara no dekigoto no maebure ni
Kodai no namida hitotsu mo nagasasete

OH･･････

Futari no kage no ochite yuku saki
Umi no genshi to bunshi ni haji o shiru
Kako shiriau hito dake ni omoidasu
Kagaku to inori no hazama FROZEN BEACH

OH･･････

Naka fukamaru hodo ni kieru kuchikazu
Yume no aizu to himitsu de iki o tsuku
Ato ikutsu no utsutsu o omoinagara
Toketa umi no soko de kimi ni aeru ka?

OH･･････


P-Model - "Frozen Beach"


The place where we first met was this frozen beach
I contemplate it with wonder and respect for you
As a harbinger of the events to come after tomorrow,
Let me shed one tear from ancient times

Oh…

There, where both our shadows fall
The atoms and molecules of the sea make me feel ashamed
Only people who get to know each other in the past will recall
The frozen beach between science and prayer

Oh…

As our relationship deepens, we no longer need words
I take a breath with dream signals and secrets
How many more realities must I consider
Before I can meet you at the bottom of the thawed sea?

Oh...
