Sakura, Sasuke "Fairytale"

Set to a Mandarin song, Guang Liang's Tong Hua, translation in parenthesis.

I'd caught wind earlier that evening, so very long ago, that you were planning to leave.
Not just me, but Team 7 and Konoha as well.

wang le you duo jiu (I forgot how long was it)
zai mei ting dao ni (since I last heard you)
dui wo shuo ni zui ai de gu shi (telling me your favorite story)

How long has it been now, Sasuke-kun, and how are you doing?
Are you achieving what you left us for? That you left me for?

wo xiang le hen jiu (I have been thinking for a very long time)
wo kai shi huang le (I'm beginning to feel paranoid)
shi bu shi wo you zuo cuo le shen me (did I make any mistakes again?)

I'd managed to catch up just as you were about to leave. Since then, I've wondered..why did you walk that way? When you knew that I could catch you there. You could have easily left at any other time, at any other place..and yet..

ni ku zhe dui wo shuo (you came and told me with the tears in your eyes)
tong hua li dou shi pian ren de (that fairytales are all lies)
wo bu ke neng shi ni de wang zi (it's impossible for me to be your prince charming)

When I asked you, why, why were you leaving..
You gave the same answer, the answer that I didn't want to hear.
We're not alike, you said..that I wouldn't understand..that someone like me could never understand.

ye xu ni bu hui dong (maybe you will not understand)
cong ni shuo ai wo yi hou (after the moment when you said you loved me)
wo de tian kong xing xing dou liang le (the stars in my sky, are beginning to shine and shimmer)

I remember..I remember..that night.
That night, I told you, Sasuke-kun, that I loved you.
I spilled my soul for you, not because I expected that to make you stay
But because deep down inside, I knew, I knew that this may be my last chance.

wo yuan bian cheng tong hua li (I'm willing to be, in the fairytales)
ni ai de na ge tian shi (the angel you love)
zhang kai shuang shou (open my arms wide)
bian cheng chi bang shou hu ni (and let them become wings to protect you)

So I said what I'd been keeping inside.
And you listened to my words, finally, and not just hear them.
What more could I ask of you?

ni yao xiang xin (you have to believe)
xiang xin wo men hui xiang tong hua gu shi li (believe that we will be like the fairytale)
xin fu he kuai le shi jie ju (with happiness and joy as the ending)

And I was relieved, so relieved..
And I could hardly believe myself as I finally sputtered the words
That I'd live for you, and kill for you, and die for you..

yi qi xie wo men de jie ju (everything is our beautiful ending…)

And you said the words..

"Sakura-chan..thank you.."

Stupidly enough, those simple words..

Somehow, after that night, and the days, and the weeks, and the months afterwards..those words captivated me, and still to this day, they echo in my head.

I still haven't given up hope that one day, you'll come back, and you and I can write our fairytale.

I guess I still love you.
