ひと夏のタペストリー
亜蘭知子 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
誰もが共犯者めいて
モナリザの微笑み
視線で合図する
気だるい真夏の宵は 妖しい恋 誘う
寄せては返す 波間に
浮かんでは消える 蜃気楼
(Love carry away) それぞれの思感で
(Don't take it away) 束の間 奏で合うharmony
(Love carry away) めくるめく ひと夏の
(Just slippin' away) 恋心が織りなす
(Don't take it away)本音と偽りの tapestry
ネイビーブルーのカクテル
飲み干す
足元が揺れる
支えた熱い手が
火照ったうなじに触れる
囁きに不意をつかれ 心の琴線
弾けば 乾いた潮の香りが
都会に吹く風を 忘れさせる
(Love carry away) 小麦色の素肌に
(Just slippin' away) 刻んだ水着のあと
(Don't take it away) 塗りこめる 罪深memory
(Love carry away) めくるめく ひと夏の
(Just slippin' away) 恋心が織りなす
(Don't take it away) 涙と微笑みの tapestry
(Love carry away) それぞれの思感で
(Just slippin' away) 言葉を弄んで
(Don't take it away) 束の間 奏で合うharmony
(Love carry away) めくるめく ひと夏の
(Just slippin' away) 恋心が織りなす
(Don't take it away)本音と偽りの tapestry
(Love carry away) 小麦色の素肌に
(Just slippin' away) 刻んだ水着のあと
(Don't take it away) 塗りこめる 罪深memory
(Love carry away) めくるめく ひと夏の
(Just slippin' away) 恋心が織りなす
The lyrics to 亜蘭知子's song "ひと夏のタペストリー" describe a summer night in a hotel lounge, where everyone seems to be complicit in something mysterious and alluring. The Mona Lisa's smile is referenced and people communicate through eye contact, hinting at secret desires and seductive intentions. The lazy summer night creates an atmosphere that invites enchanting love affairs as the waves ebb and flow, with mirages appearing and disappearing from time to time. The chorus beautifully describes the fleeting and intense nature of summer love, with each person having their own feelings and thoughts, playing with words, and expressing different shades of harmony. The tapestry of this experience is woven with both genuine emotions and insincere sentiments that are both beautiful and sinful.
Overall, the song is a poetic portrayal of the excitement, mystery, and intensity of a summer love affair, with its ebbs and flows and mirages, its secrets and seductions, and its mix of genuine and insincere feelings. The imagery in the lyrics is vivid and sensual, capturing the atmosphere of a hot summer night in exquisite detail.

Lyrics:
Hotel no bāraunji
Daremoga kyōhan-sha meite
Monariza no hohoemi
Manazashi de aizu suru
Kedarui manatsu no yoi wa
Ayashī koi izanau
Yosete wa kaesu namima ni
Ukande wa kieru shinkirō
(Love carry away) Sorezore no omowaku de
(Just slippin' away) Kotoba o moteasonde
(Don't take it away) Tsukanoma
Kanade au harmony
(Love carry away) Mekurumeku hito natsu no
(Just slippin' away) Koigokoro ga orinasu
(Don't take it away) Hon'ne to itsuwarino
Tapestry
Neibīburū no kakuteru
Nomihosu ashimoto ga yureru
Sasaeta atsui te ga
Hotetta unaji ni fureru
Sasayaki ni fui o tsukare
Kokoro no ito hajikeba
Kawaita shio no kaori ga
Machi ni fukukaze o wasure saseru
(Love carry away) Komugiiro no suhada ni
(Just slippin' away) Kizanda mizugi no ato
(Don't take it away) Nuri komeru
Tsumibukai memory
(Love carry away) Mekurumeku hito natsu no
(Just slippin' away) Koigokoro ga orinasu
