Please hear me
I want to tell you
Please sing to me
I wanna hear your voice

Touku no kodou ga mada hibiku aida
Hadaka no kotoba mune ni tojikometa
Kioku no iro ga nijimi hajimeru
Yabureta sekai no sumi de

Nani mo motomezu ni tada dakiyoseru
Ima no boku ni wa sore shika dekinai
Furueta tsuyo garide mo puraido ni mieru
Hagureta kodomo no you ni

Saigo no koe sae mo kaze ga samayou sei de kesareta
Tsuki ni te o muketa mama kimi wa sora no hoshi ni kieta

Soba ni ite to dakishimete mo
Mounidoto kikoenai kimi no utagoe wa
Furisosoida ame no sairen
Boku no kawari ni ima kono sora ga naki tsudzukeru

Kore made fumitsukete kita oshie o
Ima kakiatsume kono mune ni atete mo
Sukui motome utau youna o yuugi ni mieru
Monogataru otona no you ni

Kotoba ni yorisou dake no
Kara no ai to michibiki wa iranai
Kazara reta inoride wa
Asu no tegakari ni sawarenai

Itsuka kimi ni todoku hazu no
Na mo naki osanai shi de egaku adabana o
Wasuretai yo ichidodake
Nemurenu kanashimi ga sono uta o dakishime teru

Chorus:
Freezing cold shatters my sorrow
And scorching sands puts it together again

Nagesute rareru tadashi-sanara
Kieru koto nai machigai no hou ga ii
Okubyou ni kakushi teta koe mo ima
Kono-te de mouichido sagaseba ii

Tsukamu kito no saku hikari mo
Kawaita kokoro no sei de monokuro ni mieta
Wasurenai yo kyou no keshiki o
Arifureta negai ga ashimoto o terashite kureru

Aimer (エメ Eme, [eme]) is a Japanese pop singer and lyricist signed to SME Records and managed by FOURseam. Her name comes from the verb “Aimer” in French which means “to love”.

Aimer grew up around music and has a strong music background. Her father is a bassist in a band and she began studying piano in elementary school. She held Ringo Sheena and Utada Hikaru up to be her role models. In her years of junior high, Avril Lavigne inspired her to study guitar and begin writing English lyrics. At the age of fifteen, Aimer lost her voice due to the over-usage of her vocal chords, prompting her to undergo silence therapy to treat her condition. Fortunately, she recovered and the incident resulted in acquiring her signature husky voice.

Aimer started her career with a group called Agehasprings to collaborate on writing, producing and distributing music to various artists, including Yuki, Mika Nakashima, Flumpool, Superfly, Yuzu and Genki Rockets. She released her first album in May 2011 titled “Your favorite things” comprised of various genres like jazz and country western music. Though, Aimer went on to provide a signature genre of pop rock under her name, with her songs being featured in Japanese animes.
