lyrics translation. 'The Cross' by Honda Minako - my humble attempts to share the meaning of the songs I like

previously I was sharing this kind of stuff in Google+, but I somehow started to feel 'tis wrong

the matter is, providing only the lyrics I wrote down is not enough - what the use? those who speak Japanese can do it themselves, those who do not are doomed to be unable to understand. translations are obviously necessary. however, the ultimate purpose of the translation is to make others like the song I happen to like - and what's the use, again, if they are still unable to read the lyrics? therefore, romaji version is also necessary

however, posting the Japanese lyrics, the Romaji lyrics and the translation seems to be a bit unwieldy for a Google+ post. and I embarked on searching if sharing Blogger posts is not possible in Google+

yaay, 'tis!

and I beg your pardon for such an introduction. let me sum up the work I have done so far

The cross ~ 愛の十字架 (ai no juujika) by 本田 美奈子 (Honda Minako)

lyrics

あなたと初めて会ったその日から
普通の自分を失った
何か特別な不思議な力に
心を奪われ引かれていたわ

Cross in the shadow
あなた以外は見えなくて
Cross in the shadow
瞳の中に愛の十字架

知らないどこかで生まれたときから
二人の星座は決まってた
いつか見たような予感に気付いて
どうにもならない別れにおびえた

Cross in the shadow
あなた以外は愛せない
Cross in the shadow
遠い記憶に眠る十字架

マリアになれない　マリアになれない
この胸の悲しみをどうぞ許して

Cross in the shadow
あなた以外は愛せない
Cross in the shadow
あれほど誰か愛せない

Cross in the shadow
あなた以外は愛せない
Cross in the shadow
遠い記憶に眠る十字架

Cross in the shadow
Cross in the shadow
Cross in the shadow

translation

Since the day I met you for the first time
I have lost my usual self
By a special mysterious force
My heart was stolen and charmed

Cross in the shadow
Unable to see anything but you
Cross in the shadow
The cross of love in the eyes

Since the birth somewhere in an unknown place
There appeared a constellation of the two of us
I noticed the premonition that was just like one I have already seen
And I became afraid of the parting which I could not possibly prevent

Cross in the shadow
I do not love anyone but you
Cross in the shadow
The cross sleeping in distant memories

I cannot become Mary, I cannot become Mary
Please forgive me the sadness in my heart

Cross in the shadow
I do not love anyone but you
Cross in the shadow
I do not love anyone as much as you

Cross in the shadow
I do not love anyone but you
Cross in the shadow
The cross sleeping in distant memories

Cross in the shadow
Cross in the shadow
Cross in the shadow
