宇多田ヒカル Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
呼び合わない方が僕は好きだ
なぞなぞは解けないまま
ずっとずっと魅力的だった
大好き Sunday morning
時間なんて気にしないで
君といつもよりも 長く過ごせるんだもん
Sunday morning, sunshine dreaming
All night dancing
Christmas morning, candles burning
All night dancing
幸せとか不幸だとか
基本的に間違ったコンセプト
お祝いだ お葬式だ
ゆっくり過ごす日曜の朝だ
早起き Monday morning
仕事なんてやめちゃって
君と平日午後水族館に行きたいなあ
Cloudy morning, ice cream toppings
Music's playing
High street shopping, chocolate cravings
Baby's crying
彼氏だとか彼女だとか
呼び合わないけれど君が好きだ
なぞなぞは解けないまま
ずっとずっと魅力的だった
デートだとかおしゃれだとか
する気分じゃないから部屋でいいじゃん
カーテンは開かないまま
ゆっくり過ごす日曜の朝
締め切りとか打ち合わせとか
やることがある方が僕は好きだ
愛情に疲れたなら
ひっそり眠るのもいいもんだ
彼氏だとか彼女だとか
呼び合わない方が僕は好きだ
なぞなぞは解けないまま
ずっとずっと魅力的だった
The song 時の沙滩 (Nichiyou No Asa) by Hikaru Utada is a ballad about finding joy and contentment in simple things, specifically Sunday mornings. The lyrics start with a rejection of societal labels such as boyfriend or girlfriend, preferring the simple connection between two people without the need for titles. The singer then goes on to reject societal constructs of happiness and unhappiness, instead embracing the simplicity of enjoying a slow Sunday morning. The lyrics also express the desire to spend more time with a loved one without concerns for time.
The chorus repeats this idea of Sunday mornings being a time of happiness, with dreams of dancing all night long and spending long hours with a loved one. The second verse expresses the desire to escape from the pressures of work and deadlines and to instead spend time at an aquarium with a loved one. The chorus repeats, with the inclusion of a baby's crying, further emphasizing the theme of finding joy in everyday moments. The bridge then restates the singer's preference for simplicity, rejecting the idea of fancy dates or fashion, preferring to spend time at home with closed curtains. The lyrics end with the singer expressing their preference for tasks to be accomplished, but also the importance of taking rest when tired.

I prefer not calling each other boyfriend or girlfriend. I find it more intriguing to remain a puzzle that remains unsolved.

On a cloudy morning, with music playing, I want to go high street shopping with you for ice cream toppings, satisfy our chocolate cravings and be with our baby if she's crying.
彼氏だとか彼女だとか 呼び合わないけれど君が好きだ なぞなぞは解けないまま ずっとずっと魅力的だった
Although we don't call each other boyfriend or girlfriend, I still love you. It's better to remain an enigma because the mystery is what makes it more attractive.
デートだとかおしゃれだとか する気分じゃないから部屋でいいじゃん カーテンは開かないまま ゆっくり過ごす日曜の朝
I don't feel like going out for a date, or dressing up, so let's just stay at home. We'll stay indoors with the curtains drawn and have a leisurely Sunday morning.
締め切りとか打ち合わせとか やることがある方が僕は好きだ 愛情に疲れたなら ひっそり眠るのもいいもんだ
I prefer having something to do, like deadlines and meetings. And if you're tired of love, it's okay to sleep quietly on your own.

I prefer not calling each other boyfriend or girlfriend. Not knowing the mystery keeps things intriguing.
