Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
誰のそばにいても ラストのCheekは
私と踊って
GEMINI I Love You
誰のそばにいても ラストのCheekで
優しく抱いて
目が はなせない 浮気なヒト
だけど イカれているの
いつも フロアでジェラシー
アナタは Smilin' 誰かと Drinkin'
トリコロールに シャイな Baby Face
Darling, Kiss Me Hold Me Tight
恋をさえぎる Disco Night
GEMINI I Love You
誰のそばにいても
ラストの Cheekは 私と踊って
GEMINI I Love You
誰のそばにいても
ラストのCheekで 優しく抱いて
ライトのシャワー キラキラ Dreamin'
じれる恋と うらはらなの
Darling, Don't You
Know My Love?
そばにいてほしいのに
アナタはFlyin' 誰かと Dancin'
ジルバなんて 許せないわ
Darling, Don't You
Know My Love?
ちょっと泣きたい Friday Night
GEMINI I Love You
誰のそばにいても
ラストの Cheekは 私と踊って
GEMINI I Love You
誰のそばにいても
ラストのCheekで 優しく抱いて
GEMINI I Love You
誰のそばにいても
ラストの Cheekは 私と踊って
GEMINI I Love You
誰のそばにいても
ラストのCheekで 優しく抱いて
The lyrics to 中原めいこ's song GEMINI convey a message of love and jealousy. The singer loves someone who is a flirt and cannot seem to remain faithful to just one person. Despite their flaws, the singer wants to dance and hold them close during the last cheek-to-cheek dance of the night. The fact that the subject is a Gemini, known for their dual personalities, adds further complexity to the situation.
The lyrics also express the singer's jealousy over the fact that the subject is always smiling and drinking with someone else on the dance floor. The singer cannot understand how they could tolerate such behavior, especially when surrounded by other beautiful people. They express frustration at their inability to control their emotions and the fact that they cannot bring themselves to leave the subject despite feeling hurt and neglected.
Overall, the lyrics to "GEMINI I Love You" convey a sense of longing for someone who is both alluring and frustrating. The singer wants to be close to them, but also feels jealous and left out when they are with someone else. The song speaks to the universal experience of grappling with jealousy and the complexities of romantic love.

Thank You! 👍️🎶🌛

自分の記憶だと、オールナイトフジでのゲストとして、夜中の2時半過ぎで、此の完璧な歌唱力‼️
本当のプロって言うんですね😊銀幕のヒロインの川島なおみさんに提供して、本当に一緒に唄って
貰いたかった‼️中原めいこさんは、本当に80年代のポップスターだと思います。
@artistak1
今ならもっともっと評価される本当のポップスター︎💕︎ですね。
@user-nn1co4te7x
中原さんの歌は、個性がありすぎて最高！ジェミニは、川島なお美さんの歌もいいのですが、中原さんの歌い方は、男っぽい歌い方で、ボーイッシュの女の子が、手に届かないイケメンの浮気性に手玉にとられながらも、内面の可愛い女の子らしさが
ラストのチークは、あたしと踊って！て告白するワイルドなカップルなのに、なんて純愛してるの、みたいな意がある歌だと思う。私は、歌ってます。
@lifehappy183
玄人好みの名曲中の名曲ですね。完璧な音程で歌いこなす姿。この34年後の歌い方を聞きたいなあ！
@artistak1
いぶし銀の歌姫やなぁ〜❤
@user-ve4hd1el2t
友達が大好きな歌で久しぶりに聴きました。
