Jealous Train
河合奈保子 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't go away Jealous guy
Don't call me Jealous girl
Why oh why Let us back
Taking a Jealous train
いけない事だと 解ってたけれど
あなた追いかけて 西へ行く列车に乘ったの ah...
4月のハイウェイ クーペ飞ばしあなた
助手席にあの娘连れて 海辺の町
谁か止めてよ
浮气な恋も今なら间に合う
二人がキスする前に
Jealus train Let us back
Jealus train Hurry up
Touch me
切なさがこみあげ"爱してる..."と
何度も何度も言うわ
Don't go away Jealous guy
Don't call me Jealous girl
Why oh why Let us back
Taking a Jealous train
夕阳のコテージ 泣き颜を隐し
目の前过ぎてく二人... 背中向けた
やめて恶いジョークもう
心伤つくだけだわ
サヨナラ嘘だと言って
Jealus train Let us back
Jealus train Hurry up
Touch me
连れてって二人が昔(もと)いた场所
ひとりじゃひとりじゃいやよ
Don't go away Jealous guy
Don't call me Jealous girl
Why oh why Let us back
Taking a Jealous train
Jealus train Let us back
Jealus train Hurry up
Touch me
连れてって二人が昔(もと)いた场所
One way ticket,one way ticket
Jealous train
Don't go away Jealous guy
Don't call me Jealous girl




Why oh why Let us back
Taking a Jealous train

The back up singers in 80s jpop have a distinct sound to them. Sometimes it can get annoying, but I think they sound pretty good in a few of Naoko Kawai's songs.
