四つのお願い
ちあきなおみ Lyrics

In ちあきなおみ's song 四つのお願い, the singer presents four requests to someone they love or potentially love. They list their pleas in pairs of two, first asking for tenderness and for their selfishness to be indulged while requesting not to be made to feel lonely and to keep their secrets. If the person listening agrees to these four requests, the singer will inevitably fall in love with them.

In the second verse, the singer says that they hope the person they love will listen to their own set of four requests; to be kissed gently, to be told secrets in secret, to know what the person they love likes, and for them to do things for the singer in particular. If these requests are granted, the singer will fall completely in love with them. In the final verse, the singer suggests even more oneness between them by proposing that they will always be kind and happy, eventually connected and unified.

The simple but sweet lyrics touch on different topics related to love and relationships, such as compromising, communication, and being attentive to each other's needs. Such a song is a great example of the kind of music that will inspire romantic emotions in listeners.
