Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just don't give up (just don't give up)
Never (never)
No, no, no, don't give up
Woo, woo, woo, oh no
Just don't give up
すくむ足 cold feet
そのまま 留まったまま
憂いの中 膝抱えて
But can't you see
命の炎は絶えず燃え 照らしだす hope
ほらまだ消えてない
まだ熱い 気づいたなら
So baby, open that door
Don't give up (don't ever give up)
寄せる波のように 止めどなく believe
Don't give up (don't ever give up) (just try)
もう一度 try again それでこそ life
(Just don't) just don't give up
明けてく空の下で
(口ずさむ) 口ずさむメロディー (メロディー)
懐かしいオールディーズ
慰めに歌を歌えば
いつの日にか夢が生まれる
雨の中で泣き 涙を隠し
顔を上げれば 暖かい陽が昇る
込み上がる 勇気抱いて
'Cause baby 明日がくる so
Don't give up (don't ever give up)
寄せる波のように
止めどなく believe
Don't give up (don't ever give up) (just try)
もう一度 try again それでこそ life (それでこそ life)
Just don't give up
Don't give up
Keep holding on
光に手を伸ばして 掴めばいい
Don't give up (don't ever give up)
寄せる波のように
止めどなく believe
Don't give up (don't ever give up) (just try)
もう一度 try again それでこそ life
Just don't give up
Don't give up
Keep holding on
光に手を伸ばして 掴めばいい
Don't give up, just don't give up
Keep holding on
光に手を伸ばして yeah yeah yeah 掴めばいい
Just don't give up, oh, yeah, woo
The lyrics to "Don't Give Up" by 今市隆二 convey messages of resilience and hope in the face of adversity. The song starts by urging the listener not to be sad and to never give up. It acknowledges that there are times when nothing seems to go well, and describes a feeling of hesitation and fear (cold feet) that keeps one stuck in their worries. However, the song emphasizes that despite these difficulties, the flame of life continues to burn and radiate hope. It encourages the listener to realize that the fire is still alive within them and if they notice it, they should open the door to a brighter future.
The chorus serves as a powerful reminder to never give up and to constantly believe, comparing the relentless waves of the ocean to the unwavering belief one should hold. It suggests that trying again is the key to truly living (that's when life happens), and reiterates the plea to not give up.
The second verse describes a scene beneath the morning sky, where the singer hums a nostalgic melody of old songs to find solace. It speaks of hiding tears in the rain and raising one's face to witness the warm sun rising, symbolizing the idea that even in the midst of tears and pain, there is always the potential for a brighter future. With rising courage and the knowledge that tomorrow will come, the song encourages the listener to hold on and not give up.
