PRIDE
今井美樹 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

私は今 南の一つ星を
見上げて誓った
どんな時も 微笑みを絶やさずに
歩いて行こうと

貴方を想うと ただせつなくて
涙を流しては
星に願いを 月に祈りを
捧げるためだけに生きてきた ooh, ooh, ooh

だけど今は 貴方への愛こそが
私のプライド

やさしさとは 許し合うことを知る
最後の真実
わがままさえ 愛しく思えたなら
本当に幸せ

貴方は私に 自由と孤独を
教えてくれた人
夜が来るたびに無口になって
震える肩を抱きしめていた ooh, ooh, ooh

だけど今は 貴方への愛こそが
私のプライド

いつか私も 空を飛べるはず
ずっと信じていた
翼があったら飛んでゆくのに
貴方の胸に今すぐにでも ooh, ooh, ooh

見上げてみて 南の一つ星を
素敵な空でしょう
私は今 貴方への愛だけに
笑って 泣いてる

I looked up at a single star in the southern sky
And made a vow
That no matter what, I would keep smiling
And continue walking on
When I think of you, it's just so bittersweet
Tears flow down my face
I've lived my life solely to make wishes upon the stars
And pray to the moon
But now, my love for you
Is my pride
Kindness is knowing how to forgive each other
It's the ultimate truth
If even selfishness seems lovable
Then that's true happiness
You were the one who taught me
Freedom and solitude
Every time night fell, I fell silent
Embracing your trembling shoulders
But now, my love for you
Is my pride
I always believed that someday
I would be able to fly in the sky
If I had wings
Right now, in your arms
Look up at the single star in the south
It will create a beautiful sky
Now, I'm smiling and crying
For the love I have for you.
