美輪明宏 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
海が轟いて 押し寄せたとて
貴方がいるかぎり 私は恐れない
愛する心に 恐れるものはない
貴方が言うなら この黒髪を何色にでも
貴方が言うなら たとえ地の涯て世界の涯ても
貴方が言うなら どんな恥でも耐えしのびます
いつか人生が 貴方を奪っても
この愛があれば それで幸福
死んでもあの空で 苦しみも何もなく
永遠に歌おう 愛を讃える歌
ララララララララ
ララララララララ
神よ結び給え 愛し合う我らを
若さだけが取り柄の人
美しさ それが取り柄の人
そんなのは何でもありません
若くて綺麗だ
そんなのはすぐ歳とってしまうんです
そしてあのくそじじいが くそばばあだとか言ってる人達が
必ず自分もそう言われる様になるという事を
頭に置いてないですね
バカな人です
ええと 若さと美しさだけしか取り柄の人
そういう人が歳をとったらどうなるでしょう
私もおっかない
ですから今日は綺麗な皆さん達が沢山来てますね
もうそうなっちゃった人も居るかもしれませんけど
明日は我が身という事で聞いてください
では 街の皇太后
The song 愛の讃歌 (Ainon Sanka, Hymn to Love) by 美輪明宏 (Miwa Akihiro) is a beautiful declaration of love that embodies the depth of love that a person can have for another. The lyrics describe how one's love for another person is stronger than any force in the world, even the crashing waves of the sea and the falling of the skies. As long as the one they love is there, they have nothing to fear, as love knows no fear. The person goes on to say that if their loved one asked them to change their hair or give up their country or friends, they would do it willingly, because their love is more important than anything else.
The song then goes on to describe how even if life were to take the loved one away, the person would still be happy as long as they had their love. They would sing songs in praise of love for eternity, even in death. The song ends with a prayer to God, asking him to bless the lovers and keep them bound in their love forever.
Overall, the song is a beautiful tribute to the strength of love and how it can conquer all obstacles. It is a timeless piece that has resonated with audiences for decades and continues to be a popular love song in Japan.
