The ship veiled in the shining sea leaves a whistle of the good-bye.
Will I meet the wind of summer color if I go down the gentle slope?
My love, it's a melody. I sing highly and low.
My love, it's a gull. I fly highly and low.
Will I meet tender you if I call for you in the setting sun?

The sound of the piano somebody plays sounds like sea rumble.
Do people coming and going in the late afternoon carry the dream of summer color?
My love, it's a diary. I spell a daily page.
My love, it's a boat. I go the sea of sky.
Will you look for me if I look back in the setting sun?

Trees shaking in a promenade cast a good-bye shadow.
Can the weathercock of an old chapel see the town of summer color?
The yesterday love, it's tears. It dries before long and disappears.
The tomorrow love, it's a refrain. Words without the end.
Will you hug me if I meet you in the setting sun?

夕闇迫る雲の上
いつも一羽で飛んでいる
鷹はきっと悲しかろう
音も途絶えた風の中
空をつかんだその翼
休めることはできなくて

心を何にたとえよう 
鷹のようなこの心
心を何にたとえよう 
空を舞うよな悲しさを

雨のそぼ降る岩陰に
いつも小さく咲いている
花はきっと切なかろう
色もかすんだ雨の中
薄桃色の花びらを
めでてくれる手もなくて

心を何にたとえよう
花のようなこの心
心を何にたとえよう
雨に打たれる切なさを

人影絶えた野の道を
私とともに歩んでる
貴方もきっと寂しかろう
虫のささやく草原を
ともに道行く人だけど
絶えて物言うこともなく

心を何にたとえよう
一人道行くこの心
心を何にたとえよう
一人ぼっちの寂しさを

たかく ひくく 飛ぶの
夕陽のなか 呼んでみたら
やさしいあなたに 逢えるかしら

だれかが弾く ピアノの音

おそい午後を 往き交うひと
夏色の夢を はこぶかしら

English translation

Above the clouds where dusk comes
Always flying by itself
The hawk is probably grieving is it not
In the wind's midst even sound stops
The wings that grasp the sky
Resting is a thing they cannot do

To what compares the heart?
This heart that is like a hawk
To what compares the heart?
Of grief that seems to circle the sky

In boulder's shadow near falling rain
Always blossoming small
The flower is probably sad is it not
In the rain's midst even colour finishes
Of lightly peach-coloured petals
Without a hand to love them

To what compares the heart?
This heart that is like a flower...

10.Nausicaa of the valley of the wind
This film had a great enviromental message, which was really really obvious, but it is something people do have to take in, and i loved the design of the post apocolyptic Earth, and the fact it was ripped apart into nations, which were very diverse and different, and it suggested more chaos was going on in the world, then first appears. The characters were powerful, lead by Nausicaa, who, in Miyazakis true style, was a strong, adventurous female character. I was a little suprised there was not really a love story incorporated though, but, the story didnt...
