花火
レミオロメン Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
風の匂いは海と闇と
花火を上げて はしゃぎ合おうぜ
今夜空に星が増える
すまして 笑って 心トキメイテ
ピカって ゆらって 光と戯れたら
心少し近付けるかな
私は夏の花火のような恋なら
あなたをどこまで信じていいの?
光は闇の中で惹かれあっていた
未来でも過去でもなく今が一番奇麗
永遠が心に染み渡っていく
割と静かな night鎌倉
砂はシャリシャリ音を立てて
花火が照らす七夕の空
天の川に橋を架ける
並んで座って 煙の中から
フワッで 咲いた火の花の一輪を
指先から心に繋いだ
線香花火に人生を準えても
興味が無さそうだね
君の笑顔は気まぐれすぎて
優しい気持ちが体から溢れてくる
牡丹の花が散り
最後のオレンジが広がって
奇麗って言った君が 愛しくて
夜が来る度 また星が降り
君に会いたくってたまらない
僕は君が好きなのさ
私は夏の花火のような恋なら
したくはないけど
あなたの全てを信じていたいの
僕ならいつだって単純明解なんだよ
未来でも過去でもなく 今を
見つめてごらん
目の前の君をずっと愛している
永遠が心に染み渡っていく
The lyrics to レミオロメン's song "花火" (Hanabi) speak of a beautiful summer night in Kamakura, where the scent of the wind carries both the sea and darkness. The lyrics describe the joy of setting off fireworks together and the excitement of seeing the night sky filled with stars. The singer longs for a love that is like summer fireworks, but also expresses hesitation and uncertainty about how much they can trust the person they love. The lyrics also highlight the special connection between light and darkness, and emphasize the beauty of the present moment rather than dwelling on the past or future. The song conveys a sense of nostalgia, with references to the sounds of sand on the beach and the beauty of the night sky. The themes of love, trust, and the fleeting nature of summer are prevalent throughout the song.
