CUTIE
奥井雅美 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

キラキラ太陽降りそそぐ
夏がやって来た
ちょっとだけ気になる日焼けを
キューっと冷やした後に
気持ちいい風にねっ
心ごとまかせてみたら
誰よりステキな自分がきっと微笑む
足早に過ぎて行くこの頃毎日

見失いかけていたプリティーで
キュートな夢
もう一度復活
がんばるって綺麗だけど
真面目なだけじゃ
ガチガチすぎっ冗談だって
つうじなくなるよ
お馬鹿もいいやわらかくって
可愛くなくっちゃ!

"モテモテだーりん"
競い合うあの子逢にね
一言!いいたい
「オプジエじゃないんだからさー」
価値観はそれぞれに違うものだけど
やっぱり見た目より
捨てがたいナカミのある
彼を見つけてよ
ライバルって素敵だけど
戦うだけじゃ
味気なくてまるで
家のgameみたいじゃない
恋愛だって人生だって
おいしくなくっちゃ!

不思議だよね夏が来れば大胆になる
女だって男だって
止まらない hot beat

恋をしたり夢を見たり
おいしくなくっちゃ!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 奥井雅美's song CUTIE talk about the joys of summer, the importance of embracing one's sense of self, and the need to savor life's precious moments. The opening verse speaks of the sun shining down and the arrival of summer. The singer muses about slightly worrying sunburns but cools herself off with refreshing breezes. By letting herself go, she experiences a wonderful feeling that brings out the most beautiful aspects of herself. She talks about the need to revive the cute and pretty dreams she was beginning to lose sight of in recent times as the days pass quickly by. She understands that while it's essential to work hard and be beautiful, it's also necessary to be a little silly and softened to be lovely and cute.

In the second verse, the singer meets a competing girl who is very popular. Although everyone has different values, she believes that it's vital to look beyond appearances and find some substance in the person. She recommends finding a boyfriend who has both inner and outer beauty because competitiveness is beautiful but not if one only seeks to fight without substance. Finally, the lyrics conclude that summer has the power to make people bolder, and everyone must experience hot beats to make love and romance enjoyable!
