Wish
伊藤由奈 (Yuna Ito) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember 今でも覚えている
愛が生まれたあさを。。。
言葉にならない声でわたしの手を握りしめたね

ときに迫る孤独　潜んでる悲しみ
あなたがそっと消してくれた
求めることは無くすべてを分け合える
それを”運命”というのなら。。。

心をつなぐ糸　わたしを包み込む　やわらかな光
抱えきれないほど　大きな愛の波が身体中流れる
I wish ただひとつだけ　あなたを見守れる　強さをください
決して涸れない愛はここにあるから

撮りためた写真
色褪せても　温もりは変わらない
誰かのために生きてゆくことの喜びを知る

木漏れ日の街角　季節変わりの風
すべてのものが奏でている
あなたの真っ直ぐな瞳から見た世界
そこにわたしが映る奇跡

輝く白い羽　あなたへと羽ばたく　ひとすじの光
声にならなくでも　想いは届いていゆく　この空を伝って
I wish　いくつもの未来　あなたが描く未来　祈り続けよう
涙あふれる夜も　帰る場所はいつも　ここにあるから

心をつなぐ糸　あなたとめぐり逢い　結ばれた光
抱えきれないほど　大きな愛の波が身体中流れる
I wish　ただひとつだけ　あなたを見守れる　強さをください

決して涸れない愛は　永遠に変わることなく　ここにあるから
あなたへの願い

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Yuna Ito's Wish portray the story of a love that was formed in the past and the singer's wish to always be able to protect and watch over that love.

The lyrics then go on to describe how the person in question helped the singer overcome feelings of loneliness and sadness. They acknowledge that if this was predestined for them, then all of this must have come together for a reason.

The rest of the lyrics describe how the love that the singer feels is immense and overflows from her body like waves. They talk about how photographs may age and lose color, but the warmth and love they capture remain the same. The lyrics then describe how the changing seasons and elements of nature underscore the beauty of the world that the person in question observes with pure and unadulterated eyes. The chorus talks about the singer's wish to always be able to protect and watch over this person and their love while recognizing that the love she feels for them will never run dry.

Line by Line Meaning

I remember
I still remember

The morning when love was born...
That morning when love first began...

You held my hand with voice that couldn't be put into words
You held my hand tightly with a voice that lacked adequate words

Loneliness approaches at times, hidden sadness
Loneliness and hidden sadness approach at times

You gently erased them away
You slowly erased all of them

I don't need to ask, we can share everything
There's no need for me to ask, we can split everything between us

If that can be called 'destiny'...
If that can be called 'fate'...

The thread that connects our hearts, embracing me with gentle light
The string that links our hearts together, wrapping me up with soft light

A wave of love so powerful it's overwhelming flows throughout my body
A wave of love so substantial that it inundates my entire body

I wish for just one thing, give me the strength to watch over you
I only wish for one thing, the power to protect you

Because love that will never go dry is right here
Because love that will never run dry is right here

The photos I've taken, even if they fade, the warmth never changes
The pictures I've taken, even when they fade, the warmth will never dissipate

Knowing the joy of living for someone else
Learning the elation that comes with living for someone else

The city corner with sunlight streaming through the trees, the wind changing with the seasons
The street intersection with sunbeams peeking through the foliage, the gusts changing with the weather

Everything is singing together
Everything is performing in unison

The world seen through your clear eyes
The universe viewed through your genuine eyes

Miraculously, I'm reflected there
Miraculously, I'm reflected in them

The shining, white feathers take flight towards you, the single beam of light
The glittering, white feathers soar towards you, the singular ray of light

Even when they can't form words, feelings can still get through, spread through this sky
Even when words can't be found, feelings can still be conveyed, carried through this sky

I wish, many possible futures, I'll continue to pray for the futures you imagine
I wish, numerous feasible futures, I'll persist to pray for the futures you envision

Even on tear-filled nights, the place to come home to is always here
Even on nights when tears are shed, the place to return to is always here

The thread that connects our hearts, the light that connects us after all our roaming
The link that binds our hearts together, the light that binds us together after all our wandering

I wish for just one thing, give me the strength to watch over you
I only wish for one thing, the power to protect you

Because love that will never go dry is here eternally, unchanging
Because love that will never run dry is here forever, not altering
