Shinjiteirunoyo
Ai wa tatta hitori
Minoraseruto
Hoshigaru koto sae
Imakudekenaikedo
Demone sore demone
Not alone not alone
Kotae no nai omoimo
Not alone kiesouna
No opso otajimo
Kimi no tame
Saita hana nano
So I'm not alone
Why I'm ai doushite
Soredemo kowaindarou
Konna muryoku na
Jibun mou itano oh
Kotomoni modotte
Kotobamodenakute
Fairy tale dakijamou
Susuminainone
Not alone we're not alone
Dare ka wo omokotode
Not alone shinjitsu
Omitsuketa toki
Konna feeling wo
Nanto yobebaii
Precious things in we~
Uu arigatou you gave me
Kono tsuyosa
Kureta noyo
I'll be there for you
Moswakaska itsuyo
Nara zutto
Yotte irohge life goes on
Now I think soudayo
Dareka o zutto zutto
Aishite mitai
Tomotteta kara
Not alone not alone
Iterubasho I'm not you
Not alone nagareru
Namidatte saemo
Kimi no jane
Saita hananano
So I'm not
So I'm not
Mou I'm not
Alone
The lyrics of NOT ALONE by 少女時代(Girls' Generation) is a song about the feeling of loneliness and the struggle to cope with it. The lyrics open with a question - "Have you ever imademo shinjiteirunoyo?" which translates to "Do you still believe?". The next lines reveal the subject matter of the song - "Ai wa tatta hitori, Minoraseruto", translated as "Love is about only one person, which makes it sorrowful." The writer delves into themes of longing and desperation with the line, "Hoshigaru koto sae, Imakudekenaikedo", which means "I can't even wish for things I yearn for anymore."
The lyrics also talk about overcoming loneliness and finding solace in others. The writers express their desire for companionship with the phrase, "Kotae no nai omoimo, Not alone kiesouna, No opso otajimo", which means, "An uncertain feeling, disappearing into the crowd, I may not be alone but I still feel lonely." The writers try to draw strength from their past experiences and encourage others by saying "Kimi no tame Saita hana nano so I'm not alone," translating to "The flower that bloomed for you, so I'm not alone." The song ends with the repeated line, "So I'm not alone," assuring the listener that they are not alone in their struggles.

@lalalili7555
I love how Jessica’s voice back up soo and hyo <3
@renger0806
kind of ironic that jessica sings the last “alone” cause....
@jzl682
This song was just so perfect with Jessica's voice in it, it fits her voice so well. That's why for me it sounds incomplete when SNSD sang it without her at Tokyo Dome years ago. 💔
@Faz2108
true...the iconic line"alone"
@bysh9077
This is the best ballad by a Kpop girl group, it is unbeatable. PERIOD
@Samuel-th6fw
Only some other SNSD ballads come close for me.
