we were lovers

• jean-jacques burnel'in seslendirdiği gankutsuou'nun muhteşem açılış şarkısı. edmont dantes'nin ağzından mercedes'e söylenmiştir, öyle ki şarkıda arkadaşlarının ihanetinden bahseder. sözleri şöyledir:
  
  harsh words were said, and lies were told instead.
  i didn’t ever mean to make you cry.
  but love can make us weak and make us strong.
  and before too very long.
  i was totally in love with you, i bathed in you,
  lost in you, captivated by you,
  amazed by you, dazed by you.
  
  nothing can go wrong.
  nothing can go wrong.
  
  so tonight i’ll sing a song to all my friends,
  also to those we won’t be seeing again.
  to those i knew and those i still adore,
  and i want to see once more...
  i just pray that you will love me and trust me,
  laugh with me and cry with me,
  spend those silent times with me.
  
  love me evermore.
  love me evermore.
  
  you and i were lovers.
  our dreams were not soured by life.
  and then my friends' betrayal
  meant you never would be my wife.
  
  harsh words were said, and lies were told instead.
  i didn’t ever mean to make you cry.
  but love can make us weak and make us strong.
  and before too very long,
  i was totally in love with you, i bathed in you,
  lost in you, captivated by you,
  amazed by you, dazed by you.
  
  nothing can go wrong.
  nothing can go wrong.
• bir anime açılışı için yazılmış en iyi şarkı olabilir. ayrıca beni gerçekten etkileyen ender aşk şarkılarından biridir.
  
  "you and i were lovers.
  our dreams were not soured by life.
  and then my friends' betrayal
  meant you never would be my wife."
  
  kısmı yürek dağlar.
  
  "i was totally in love with you, i bathed in you,
  lost in you, captivated by you,
  amazed by you, dazed by you."
  
  kısmıysa, "şöyle sözleri bir hatuna söyleyemedik ya lan." diye isyan ettirir. ki şu sözleri bir erkekten duysam durur, iki saniye düşünürdüm.^*
