Open Your Heart
浜田麻里 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're feeling so blue
No worries to each other
We'll be starting over
不意に涙があふれた
貴方の笑顔 まぶしくて
疲れはてた心 荒んでいたのは ah 何故
無邪気な夢には
会えないけれど
Open your heart
風のように駆け抜ける
恋もあるけど
Open your heart
今この手をさしのべて
受けとめたい
恋を失くした数だけ
素直になれるはずなのに
心のドア破って
すべてを投げ出せない
そう誰も皆 臆病すぎて
愛する術を
知らないだけなの
Open your heart
風のように 駆け抜ける
嘘もあるけど
Open your heart
偽りない
その気持ち 抱きしめたい
もう悲しみを知る前の
無邪気な夢には
会えないけれど 迷わない wo ah
Open your heart
風のように駆け抜ける
恋もあるけど
Open your heart
今この手をさしのべて
受けとめたい
Open your heart
When you have a feeling heart
There'll be no distance
Between you and me
Open your heart
When you're feeling so blue
No worries to each other
We'll be starting over
Open your heart
There'll be no distance
Between you and me
The song "Open Your Heart" by Mari Hamada is about finding hope and love when you're feeling down and lost. The lyrics describe a person who is feeling overwhelmed and tired, but finds solace in the smiles and kindness of others. The first verse begins by talking about tears overflowing and a heart that was once tired and rough. The second verse talks about the fear of opening up and being vulnerable to love, but then reaffirms that everyone is afraid of love at some point. The refrain "Open your heart" is a call for the person to let their guard down and let love in. It talks about how love can make you feel like you are running free like the wind and can help you find the courage to throw open the doors of your heart.
The theme of the song is universal and timeless, it encapsulates the experience of feeling lost and then being found, and having hope renewing you. The lyrics are in Japanese, but the emotions conveyed are something that can be felt by anyone, regardless of culture or language. The song is a beautiful and powerful expression of the human heart and its struggles.
