hope or pain
????? Ayumi Hamasaki Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
HOPE or PAIN
What am I expecting?
I'm grasping trembles
My heart leaps
But soon I'm let down with a sigh
How many times will I continue to do this?
How long am I going to believe the words, "some other day"
When it will never come?
It's better to forget
Thinking that I just dreamed for a little while
Though I know very well
A miracle will never happen
Though I know very well
I'm sorry I told you abruptly that day
That everything became suddenly unclear
The last time that I saw your tears
Is still clinging to my memory
Why couldn't I believe in you .
Right in front of me?
You see? It must have been good enough
Only to love what I was loving
Almost clumsily
I wonder if I could leave
Something for you
When time passes by
What will be left for me?
My heart going on wishing for a miracle?
Or just
A scar?
ROMAJI:
HOPE or PAIN
Ittai nani wo kitai shiteru to iu no
Nigirishimeteru denwa ga furueru tabi
Ichiichi mune ga takanatte
Demo sugu ni tameiki ni kaete
Mou nando kurikaeshi
kuru wake nai itsuka nante kotoba
Itsu made shinjiteru tsumori
nee wasurete shimaeba ii
Sukoshi yumemite ita dake datte
Kiseki nante okoru wake mo
Nai koto kurai wakatteru noni
Wakatteru noni
kyuu ni subete ga wakaranaku natta tte
Ano hi totsuzen iidashite gomen ne
saigo ni mita namida ga ima mo mada
Atama kara hanarezu ni iru
nee doushite me no mae no kimi wo
Shinjite agerarenakatta n' darou
Suki na mono wo bukiyou na kurai
Suki na dake de juubun datta
Hazu na noni ne
nee watashi wa kimi ni nanika wo
Nokoshite ageru koto ga dekita kana
nee kono mama toki ga sugitara
Watashi ni wa nani ga nokoru n' darou
Soredemo mada kiseki wo negai
Tsudzukeru kokoro? soretomo tada no
kizuato kana?
In Ayumi Hamasaki's song "Hope or Pain", she speaks of the inner turmoil she faces while waiting for someone to call her. Every time her phone rings, she eagerly answers, hoping it is the call she has been waiting for. However, time and time again, she is disappointed when it isn't. Ayumi questions how long she can keep this cycle going, constantly believing in the words "some other day" when they will never come. She ponders if it would be better to forget and just think of it as a dream. Even though she knows a miracle will never happen, she still hopes for one, leading her to wonder if all that will be left for her is a scar.
Ayumi reflects on a past relationship, apologizing for an abrupt conversation that made everything suddenly unclear. She recalls the last time she saw her partner's tears, which still haunt her memory. Ayumi regrets not believing in her partner when they were right in front of her, wondering why she couldn't see it. She loved what she loved, but perhaps it was too clumsy. She questions what she can leave behind for her partner and wonders what will be left for herself when time passes.
