Naturally
八神純子 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

流行(はや)りのステップ 踊りつづけるあなた
置いてきぼりが こわい人
軽いジョークに 街中が笑っても
私の胸は 風が吹く
少年色のきらめきを
愛していたのよ

都会で見える星座の
名前教えてくれた夜
ついてゆくと決めたの
My love, my dream, my life...

みんな時代の渦へと
知らずに落ちてゆくけれど
あなたらしく愛して
Love me, love me, love me naturally

夏が終れば 紺色のスーツ着て
みんな大人に なってゆく
あなたも夢を 思い出にするかしら
ビールの缶でも つぶすように
私を抱いた 肩ごしに
きのうを見つめて

草原の風のような
若さがとてもまぶしくて
私の夢 賭けたの
My love, my dream, my life...

変わらずにいる勇気を
そうよ 私は信じてる




あなたらしく愛して
Love me, love me, love me naturally

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 八神純子's song Naturally speak to the power of love and its ability to provide a sense of belonging and support amidst life's ups and downs. The opening lines, "You keep dancing to the popular steps, but fear being left behind, even if the whole city is laughing at a light joke, my heart feels the wind," suggest that the singer is watching someone they care for continue to try to fit in with the crowd while struggling with their own insecurities. However, as the song progresses, the lyrics shift to highlight the singer's own experiences of finding love and carving out a unique path in life. The lines "You taught me the names of the constellations visible in the city that night, and I decided to follow you, my love, my dream, my life..." speak to the singer's commitment to following their own passions and joining forces with someone who helps them see the beauty in the world around them.


The final verse of the song focuses on the inevitability of change as the seasons shift and people grow older, but the singer remains steadfast in their belief that love can endure through it all. Lines like "The youthfulness of the grassland wind was so dazzling, I bet my dreams on it, my love, my dream, my life..." and "I believe in the courage to remain unchanged, love me, love me, love me naturally" capture the sense of hope and resilience that love can inspire in people.
