プリンセス・プリンセス Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

星を探してた曇り空の日々
恋をするなんて思ってなかった
ため息重ねた扉の向こうから
あなたが現れて 全てが変わった
きっと去年の夏
二人が出逢ったあの時から
始まってた
終わらない夢追いかけて
走り出そう
ハイウェイ飛ばして海の香り
流れる光と風を感じさせて
輝く愛を降り注ぐ太陽は
どうか変わらず私だけを
照らし続けて

瞳の奥には無邪気な少年
不器用な仕草 暖かい笑顔
たばこふかしてる照れた横顔が
愛しているよとぽつりと呟いた
きっと去年の夏
二人が出逢ったあの時から
信じていた
あなたがそばにいてくれれば
走り出せる
溢れる想いがもう止まらない
初めて素顔で笑う 私がいる
高鳴る胸のときめきは消せないの
時を越えて旅が始まる
二人を乗せて

ハイウェイ飛ばして海の香り
流れる光りと風を感じさせて
高鳴る胸のときめきは消せないの




時を越えて旅は続いてく
二人を乗せて

PRINCESS PRINCESS || HIGHWAY STAR
Lyrics: Atsuko Watanabe
Composed by Atsuko Watanabe and Kaori Okui
(Rough English translation of Japanese lyrics)

I was looking for the sky to see the stars but the days were cloudy
I never thought I'd fall in love with you
Those days when I sighed over and over again,
You suddenly appeared in front of me from behind the door
And then everything changed

Last summer, when we met for the first time... that's when this love began.
Let's run after the dream that never ends

Driving on the highway
Let me feel the scent of the ocean and the sunlight and the wind
The sun shining down on our love
Please let it continue to shine on us

In the depths of your eyes, I see an innocent boy
Your clumsy gestures, your warm smile for me
With a shy profile as you puff on your cigarette
"I love you," you whispered to me

I'm sure this love started last summer when we first met
I believed in you, and if you were by my side
I can start running

I can't stop my overflowing feelings for you
For the first time, I'm smiling with my whole heart
I can't get rid of this growing passion in my heart
It's as if we're on a new journey together through time

Driving on the highway
Let me feel the scent of the ocean, the streaming sunlight and the wind
I can't get rid of this growing passion in my heart
It's as if we're on a new journey together through time
