Merry Christmas , Mr. Lawrence ! [English lyrics] -映画｢戦場のメリークリスマス｣の非公式ソング-

This song is a tribute to the 1983 film "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence". The lyrics are my own original creation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] [Melodic Interlude] [Verse1] What eats away at my heart is The shadow of a dark war. Ah! Lawrence! Why do we fight? [Verse2] Although we look slightly different, We are the same humans! If this were not a war, We could laugh together! [Chorus] Merry Christmas! Mr. Lawrence! Today, let's forget about the war , And celebrate this night together! Merry Christmas! Mr. Lawrence! If we had lived in a different time, We could have shared drinks together! [Melodic Interlude] [Verse3] On Christmas night, I drown in alcohol alone. And I remember and long for my family back in my homeland. [Bridge] If only there were no war, I would still be a good father in an ordinary family! I have completely changed. [Chorus] Merry Christmas! Mr. Lawrence! Today, let's forget about the war , And celebrate this night together! Merry Christmas! Mr. Lawrence! If we had lived in a different time, We could have shared drinks together!
