作曲 Utada Hikaru
見慣れた町、見慣れた人
全てが最近まるで遠い国の出来事
もう一度感じたいね 暗闇の中で
希望が織りなす あざやかな音楽
どんなにつらい時でさえ
歌うのはなぜ?(さあね)
恋愛なんてしたくない
離れてくのはなぜ? Darling, darling, ah
全然なにも聞こえない
砂漠の夜明けがまぶたに映る
全然涙こぼれない
ブルーになってみただけ
女の子に生まれたけど
私の一番似合うのはこの色
もう何も感じないぜ そんな年頃ね
道化師のあはれ まわり出す照明
こんなに寒い夜にさえ
歌うのはだれ? (だあれ)
原稿用紙5、6枚
ブルーのインクのシラベ
もう一度信じたいね 恨みっこなしで
遅かれ早かれ 光は届くぜ
どんなにつらい時でさえ
生きるのはなぜ? (さあね)
栄光なんてほしくない
普通が一番だね
Darling, darling, ah… Questions make me blue
Darling, darling, ah… Tell me something good
もう一度感じさせて 技よりもハートで
どんなに長い夜でさえ
明けるはずよね? (さあね)
もう何年前の話だい?
囚われたままだね Darling, darling, ah
全然何も聞こえない
琥珀色の波に船が浮かぶ
幻想なんて抱かない
かすんで見えない絵
あんたに何がわかるんだい?
かまうのはなぜ? (さあね)
恋愛なんてしたくない
離れてくのはなぜ? Darling, darling, ah
全然何も聞こえない
砂漠の夜明けがまぶたに映る
全然涙こぼれない
ブルーになってみただけ

Minareta machi, minareta hito
Subete ga saikin marude
Tooi kuni no dekigoto
Mou ichido kanjitai ne
Kuruyami no naka de
Kibou ga ori nasu
Azayaka na ongaku
Donna ni tsurai toki de sae
Utau no wa naze? ...Saa ne...
Renai nante shitaku nai
Hanareteku no wa naze? ...Darling, darling, ah...
Zenzen nani mo kikoe nai
Sabaku no yoake ga mabuta ni utsuru
Zenzen namida kobore nai

The song "BLUE" by Utada Hikaru is a melancholic declaration about the singer feeling disconnected from everything and everyone around her. The opening lines express the sensation of being in a familiar place with familiar people, yet feeling like it doesn't belong to her anymore. She yearns to feel something again and wishes to experience the vibrant sounds of music that bring hope in the darkness. Despite her heartache and isolation, she asks herself why she continues to sing and what it means to live.
The stanza "Donna ni tsurai toki de sae/Utau no wa naze? ...Saa ne.../Renai nante shitaku nai/Hanareteku no wa naze? Darling, darling, ah" expresses the confusion and lack of purpose that she feels. She does not want to fall in love again, and yet she still feels the sting of someone leaving. The chorus "Darling, darling, ah... Questions make me blue/Darling, darling, ah... Tell me something good" shows her desperation for answers and an escape from her current state of mind. She desires to feel something meaningful with her heart and not just her craft.
Overall, "BLUE" is a powerful and sad song that delves into the depths of human emotions. Utada Hikaru showcases her brilliant talent in expressing what it means to feel lost and yearning for something more significant. The song's melancholy melody and meaningful lyrics resonate with many listeners and provide comfort to those who have experienced similar feelings of emptiness and disconnection.

This was the last piece of music someone I loved shared with me before he passed away too early. He confessed his feelings for me and told me that the beauty of this song was how he felt about me. I will never forget the captivating feeling of listening to him say that and then surrendering and falling deeply into this song.
