I love you
河村隆一 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

車を止めて 見詰め合う二人
星の囁く 冬の終わりに
孤独な小ネコ
流れるフィフティズ・ソング
少し寒いと うつむくあなた
(あふれそうな MY HEART)
小ネコを抱き上げ
あなたはキスした
僕はちょっぴり ふてくされて
恋に疲れていた 二人が 出会った
あなたを探してた
Fu... 永遠を 見つけたい
I love you いつまでも
Fu... この胸を Ah 焦がしてゆく
Ah 壊れそうな
Ah こんな街も今はマシに
見えてくるよ 不思議と
Ah 壊れそうな Ah この心を
癒して欲しい 子供みたいに
時を忘れて

うるんだ眼を閉じて
口づけた あの夜
あなたを抱きしめて
Fu... この腕を 離さない
I love you いつまでも
Fu... この胸を Ah 焦がしてゆく
言葉にできない程
Fu... この胸は 張り裂けそう




I love you いつまでも
Fu... あなただけ Ah 見詰めさせて

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in 河村隆一's song "I love you" convey a moment of intimacy between two people who have grown tired and lonely from love. The couple in the song finds each other after being fed up with unsuccessful searching for love. They stop their car and lock eyes through the winter night, under the whispering stars. The singer describes how his partner turns away when it gets a little cold, and he picks up a stray little cat to comfort her. Suddenly, his partner kisses him, and he feels slightly annoyed and sulky. However, they both find comfort in each other's company and realize that they have found what they had been looking for all along. The song emphasizes the importance of finding someone with whom you can share intimate moments and connect on a deeper level, rather than chasing unfulfilling relationships.


The lyrics of "I love you" have been interpreted in many ways by listeners, but the most common theme is one of hope, compassion, and love. The idea of "fu" scattered throughout the song is often translated as an expression of breath, representing the singer's emotions building up and overflowing more and more as the song progresses. Some see the little cat as a metaphor for the female protagonist, while others view it as a symbol of the couple's desire for intimacy and companionship. Others view the song as a representation of the importance of being vulnerable in a relationship, letting go of past hurt, and finding love.

I am not Japanese but I grew up listening to Jpop as a kid/teenager. Now that I am in my mid-30s, I suddenly remembered Kawamura Ryuichi's songs and I wanted to get that feeling of living in the late 90s/early 2000s again
