Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
混じり気ない温もりが 全てを包むから
また目を奪われていたんだ
踊る髪は光を纏う 天使と遊ぶ
無邪気な笑顔が可憐で
あまりにも澄み切っていて 少し戸惑う
なんで こんなにも全部 疑いもしないで そばにいてくれるの
ふわり 羽根のよう 僕の頬に君が触れる
それだけで もう 何もかも 許されたつもりになるよ
ふわり 羽根のよう 君がそっと勇気くれる
歪んだ胸の傷痕も 浮かんで消えるから
不意に駆け出した君が はぐれそうになって すぐに 僕の名前を叫ぶ
どんな不安の中でも 心配しないで 必ず見つけ出すよ
ふわり 羽根のよう たんぽぽの綿毛が揺れる
遠くまで種を運ぶ 風に僕もなりたいんだ
結ぶ指先を 小さな手が握り返す
幸せへと いつかきっと 送り届けるから
ふたりは ひとつの時を同じだけ重ねる
出来る限り たくさんの場面を覚えていたいよ
ふわり 羽根のよう 僕の頬に君が触れる
それだけで もう 何もかも 救われたつもりになるよ
ふわり 羽根のよう 君がいれば強くなれる
いつまででも 僕がきっと守ってみせるから
羽根のよう
The lyrics to "Girl" by Hokkaido-born singer-songwriter, Qin Shiming, or more widely known as Qin Shiming XIANG in Japan, paint a picture of a young girl with an angelic aura that captivates the singer. The first lines "ふわり 羽根のよう 僕の頬に君が触れる" describe the girl's gentle presence as light as a feather, and the warmth of her touch that envelopes everything around. The second line, "混じり気ない温もりが 全てを包むから" further highlights the purity of her touch that could heal all wounds.
As the song progresses, we understand that the artist is enamored with the girl's innocence and undoubting gaze toward him. He is overcome with emotions; so much so that he is unable to comprehend how someone could hold so much trust in him, "なんで こんなにも全部 疑いもしないで そばにいてくれるの." The girl's joyous countenance is depicted as childlike and pure, "無邪気な笑顔が可憐で あまりにも澄み切っていて 少し戸惑う," and he is touched by her courage as she holds out her small hand in his.
The chorus, "ふわり 羽根のよう 僕の頬に君が触れる それだけで もう 何もかも 許されたつもりになるよ ふわり 羽根のよう 君がそっと勇気くれる 歪んだ胸の傷痕も 浮かんで消えるから," repeats the earlier emotions of the artist, where the girl's touch has the power to heal deep-seated wounds and bestows upon him a sense of redemption.
The final verse touches on the transience of youth and how the artist would like to commit to memory every moment spent with the girl, "ふたりは ひとつの時を同じだけ重ねる 出来る限り たくさんの場面を覚えていたいよ." The song ends on an optimistic note, with the artist promising to protect and nurture the innocent girl, "いつまででも 僕がきっと守ってみせるから."
Overall, "Girl" is a beautiful song that speaks to the power of touching someone's life in profound and meaningful ways.

ゆうぐれ
Like a feather, you touch my cheek
Your unmixed warmth envelops all
I had my eye on you again
Dancing hair wears light and plays with angels
Her innocent smile is so dainty
It's so clear, I'm a little confused
Why are you so...
You've been there for me without question
Like a feather, you touch my cheek
Just like that, I'm already forgiven for everything
Like a feather, You gently give me courage
Even the distorted scar on my chest floats away
You run out of nowhere
You run off, and soon you're shouting my name
No matter what you're worried about
Don't worry, I'll find you
Like feathers, the dandelion's fluff shakes
I want to be the wind that carries the seeds far and wide
A small hand grips back the tips of your knotted fingers
I'll surely send you off to happiness someday
We'll share a moment together
I wish I could remember as many scenes as I can
Like a feather, you touch my cheek
Just like that, I'll feel like I've been saved from everything
Like a feather, You make me stronger
I'll protect you forever
Loli Hunter
Soft as feathers.. your touch leans against my cheek..
.. your immaculate warmth, enveloping everything within
Yet again I have my eyes captivated by you..
.. as your hair goes dancing dressed in light.. playing with angels
Your smile-adorned face is so enchanting..
.. and so serene, I’m somewhat bedazzled
How can you, so doubtless in everything..
.. stay here for me, by my side
Soft as feathers.. your touch leans against my cheek
With this alone you make me let my guard down against everything already
Soft as feathers.. you gently grant me courage
Even the scars on my misshapen heart well up to the surface and disappear
You who ran away in a hurry so suddenly..
.. whenever about to stray and feel lost, without delay, call out my name
No matter what distress may befall you..
.. never let yourself worry, I sure as fate will find you
Soft as feathers.. as the dandelion fluff sway..
.. I too, want to become like that wind which carries their seeds faraway..
.. and grasp back with my small hand at your fingertips reaching out to me..
.. and escort you, one day for sure, to the doors of happiness
Out of all the time the two of us share repeatedly..
.. I want to make as many memorable scenes as I can
Soft as feathers.. your touch leans against my cheek
This alone makes my whole being feel saved already
Soft as feathers.. if you’re with me, I can become strong
Till eternity’s end, you can without fail, rely on me to protect you
[Like feathers…]
