Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
私も Don't cry Don't cry 本当は 泣き虫なのに
いつも どんと くらい どんと くらい
口ぐせ Don't cry Don't cry
思いっきり 無理してること
ミエミエだけど キミが好きだよ
私ならば キミの気持 なんでも わかっていて
キミの方は 私の気持 なんにも 知らなくって
哀しい位 おかしな事ばかり 起るネ
すぐに二人 テンテコまい キリキリまい あいまい!
キミは どんと くらい どんと くらい
真似して Don't cry Don't cry 優しさを すりむいた時
いつか どんと くらい どんと くらい
お茶目に Don't cry Don't cry
傷口に 愛をふりかけ 笑ってみるの キミの隣りで
女のコは オトナになって 夢を かなえたくって
男のコは 子供のままの 夢を 見ていたくって
きれいなハート 忘れた大人たちばかりネ
だからみんな ウキウキして ハラハラして ジラして
キミは どんと くらい どんと くらい
私も Don't cry Don't cry 本当は 泣き虫なのに
いつも どんと くらい どんと くらい
口ぐせ Don't cry Don't cry
思いっきり 無理してること
ミエミエだけど キミが好きだよ
ミエミエだけど キミが好きだよ
The lyrics of 立花理佐's song キミはどんとくらい describe a girl who always seems to be holding back her tears, urging herself to be strong and not cry by repeating the phrase "don't cry" to herself. She admits that she is actually quite emotional and cries easily, but she tries to hide it and put on a tough exterior. She also acknowledges that her love for the person she is addressing is obvious, even though she may be hiding her true feelings from them.
The song also touches on the theme of communication breakdown in a relationship, with the girl expressing frustration that even though she understands the person's feelings perfectly well, they seem oblivious to her own emotions. Despite the difficulties they face, the song ultimately ends on a hopeful note, with the girl expressing her love and affection for the person.
Overall, the song is a bittersweet meditation on the struggle to express oneself honestly in a relationship, and the ways in which both vulnerability and strength can coexist in one person.
