「愛してる」
河合奈保子 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
好きだって知ってるの
やりきれなさにひとり
いつも立ち尽くしている
あの頃の二人に戻れたら
心で波が騒ぐ
同じ人愛してることなど
たった五文字の行方
なぞりつづけて
時を抱きしめるだけ
夢の途中でつぶやいた...
せつなすぎるくらい
愛してる...
今更打ち明けること
出来ないのあなたに
このまま何もなかった
ように通り過ぎるだけ
あなたとの静かな幸せを
いつか叶えたいけど
その瞳 裏切ることなど
出来るはずない
肩を寄せる二人に
ためいきひとつ
夢を抱きしめるだけ
ただ流れてく季節の中
何を信じ続け生きてくの?
目の前を無邪気に行き過ぎる
幼い子供のように
正直な心と大きな
勇気が欲しい...
肩を寄せる二人に
ためいきひとつ
夢を抱きしめるだけ
ただ流れてく季節の中
何を信じ続け生きてくの?
たった五文字の行方
なぞりつづけて
時を抱きしめるだけ
夢の途中でつぶやいた...
せつなすぎるくらい
愛してる...
The lyrics of the song 「愛してる」 by 河合奈保子 are a reflection of unrequited love. The singer is standing alone, knowing that her crush is unaware of her feelings. She wishes to go back in time when they were together, and her heart is in turmoil just thinking about the fact that they both love the same person but nobody seems to notice. The main subject of the song is the melancholy of unreturned love with the use of poignant and heart-rending lyrics.
The second stanza reflects the singer's longing for the love that once was. They are trying to find solace in the five-letter word, "Love," and embrace the memories of their past. The singer is overwhelmed with emotions and feels the pain of love that is unattainable. In the third stanza, the singer admits that they are reluctant to confess their feelings to their crush, because it might jeopardize the peace they currently have. In the final stanza, the singer looks ahead in time and ponders what they should hold on to because, in the end, nothing lasts forever. The song evokes emotions of longing, pain, and the reality that some things are just unattainable.

彼女があなたのこと
She knows you love her
好きだって知ってるの
And she cannot bear the thought of it
やりきれなさにひとり
So when the anguish becomes too much
いつも立ち尽くしている
She stands there - alone
あの頃の二人に戻れたら
If only you could turn back time
心で波が騒ぐ
And calm the storm brewing inside
誰も気付かない
No one will know that we both love you
同じ人愛してることなど
But that's too dangerous a love to display
たった五文字の行方
Where did those five letters go
なぞりつづけて
I keep searching for them
時を抱きしめるだけ
Holding onto memories from another time
夢の途中でつぶやいた...
I whispered that I love you in the middle of a dream
せつなすぎるくらい
A love so painful it hurts
愛してる...
I love you...
今更打ち明けること
I cannot bring myself to tell you now
出来ないのあなたに
The truth would shatter what we have
このまま何もなかった
So let's just pretend nothing has changed
ように通り過ぎるだけ
As we pass each other by
あなたとの静かな幸せを
Together we share our quiet moments of happiness
いつか叶えたいけど
If only we could make it last
その瞳 裏切ることなど
But those eyes could never betray
出来るはずない
The promise of true love
肩を寄せる二人に
As we lean in, our shoulders touching
ためいきひとつ
We let out a sigh
夢を抱きしめるだけ
Holding onto our dream
何を信じ続け生きてくの?
As we wonder what will keep us going?
ただ流れてく季節の中
As we drift away with the passing seasons
幼い子供のように
Like a child, innocent and pure
目の前を無邪気に行き過ぎる
We look ahead with eyes full of hope
正直な心と大きな
Hoping that honesty and courage
勇気が欲しい...
Will always be by our side
