聞かせてよ愛の言葉を
石井好子 Lyrics

This song, titled "聞かせてよ愛の言葉を" (Kikasete yo Ai no Kotoba wo) in Japanese, is a heartwarming love ballad by the Japanese singer 石井好子 (Kohko Ishii). The lyrics express the yearning for one's lover to speak sweet, comforting words of love. The opening line, "聞かせてよ 好きな甘い言葉" (Kikasete yo suki na amai kotoba), asks the lover to share their favorite sweet words, while the following line, "話してよ いつものお話しを" (Hanashite yo itsumo no ohanashi wo), requests to hear the same familiar stories as always. The repetition of the phrase "その言葉「愛す」と" (Sono kotoba `aisu' to) emphasizes the importance of hearing the actual words "I love you" from the lover's mouth.

The second verse reveals the singer's conflicting feelings towards the phrase "I love you." They admit to not being entirely comfortable with such intimacy, yet they still long to hear those words whispered in a gentle, trembling voice. The phrase "甘く撫でるような震える小声を" (Amaku naderu you na furueru koe wo) describes the lover's voice as sweet and soothing, yet also trembling with emotion.

The final verse emphasizes the significance of the lover's words and their ability to heal the singer's heart, even if those words are not entirely true. The repeated phrase "何度でもいいのよ その言葉「愛す」と" (Nando demo ii no yo sono kotoba `aisu' to) reinforces the reassurance and comfort that the lover's words bring.

Overall, the song conveys a powerful message about the importance of verbal affirmation in a loving relationship, even when simple stories and sweet words are repeated.
