夏をかさねて
今井美樹 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

窓をあけたら 夏が手招きしてる
南の壁で傾く陽差しのリトグラフ
潮の香りと はずむパーコレーター
カップをふたつ並べて もうすぐ tea time

ほら こぼさないでね
夢中でフットボール
みてるの その横顔

I love you 好きなもの
そのまま追いかけてね
ふたりきりでいること 忘れてしまうほど
音のない昼下がり 泳ぐように
あなたの海 自由に遊んでいてね

風のベランダ 白い湯気のアイロン
バークレー負けたとひとり あなたはすねてる
ねぇ 銀の波 明日もきっと晴れる
背中につぶやくけれど きこえない mm

ほら 生成りのシャツを
大きくはおったら あなたに包まれてる

I love you 好きなもの 好きなままつかまえてね
まっすぐに見つめる ひとみが好きだわ
ぜいたくな退屈を 楽しむのよ
手に追えないいとしさ きりがない程

Ooh, la la la, ooh
I said "I love you for the rest of my life
For the rest of my life, mm, I care feeling"

夕凪に時間さえ 止まった海
輪郭を 失った
光にとけてゆく
あたりまえの夏を くりかえして
だれよりも特別な ふたりになる





La la la, la la la la la, la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la

Overall Meaning

The song "夏をかさねて" by 今井美樹 is a lovely ballad about the joy and magic of summer. The first verse sets the sunny, seaside scene, with the singer looking out a window and feeling drawn to the summer outside. She describes the light falling on a southern wall, the scent of the sea, and the sound of a percolator bubbling away, getting ready for tea time. She's watching someone play football and marvels at their profile as she tries not to spill her tea. The singer is in love and wants to chase after the things she loves, forgetting everything else for a while.


The second verse introduces some more domestic elements, with a balcony and an iron, and a little quarrel with her beloved who's sulking because his team lost. Still, she's optimistic about the future and comments that the silver waves will surely be just as beautiful tomorrow as they are today, even as she murmurs sweet nothings that he can't hear. The chorus repeats the sentiment that she loves her partner for everything they are and wants to hold onto that love forever.
