Open up your year book
Write it down oh I should
Tell you now exactly how I feel bout you

Got this Pen a Mission
Got to end this Tension
Perhaps you would feel the same way too

How many wasted chances have we just pass by?
Don't keep what you're feeling aways deep inside

You should say it loud
you should say it now
you should open up your heart

Friend so True
That is you
Through whatever may come
I have you to hold my hand

And the way you make me feel
days I am with you
are the best days of my life

Cross my heart
hope to die
promise I'll always care
I'll be there no matter where

you know we'll always be friends
time and time again for ever
Yea I will see you again

A G" E A E         F"
Oh this I pro- mise you~ ou

Thank You for reading! Link to sheet music version below V
"Year book" An English adaptation of "Fude pen Boru Pen"

I apologise for the poor matching of notes (they are not chords!) to lyrics, I can't seem to make the text spacing to work.

So after watching K-on! episode 12 a couple of weeks ago, I heard part of the lyrics in a dream. It was as if sumone had turned on the stereo on full blast playing this English version of "Fude Pen Boru Pen". (really!)

So I sat up awake at 4:30 am, and wrote the song down. Ironed out the poetry over a couple of days and this is the result.

My philosophy on writting English versions of Japanese songs, especially Anime songs, is to let the literal meaning of the original lyrics take a back seat..... the Jap Lyrics then to be a bit silly...(In K-On! A lantern was hung on this by stating songwriter Mio has weird taste)

However, it is important to match the new English lyrics with the Jap syllables to conserve the rhythm and musical value of the song. I hope I have achieved that here :)

Music written with the Lyrics is based on Spiritsoulo's utube video, check it out!

Ps: due to the fact that this English version has more than double the number of whole words than that of the Jap lyrics, it would be easier to sing this English version at a slower tempo.
