A LOVER'S CONCERTO
薬師丸ひろ子 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
雨あがりの 誰もいないけものみち
いつの間にか 七色の虹が輝いても
この胸は まだ暗い
ついて行きたい 足が傷ついても
森の中で ふたりだけになりたいの
泣きたいほど 胸がふるえるけど
いつの日にか ここでふたりだけの
虹がみたい 誰もいないけものみち
今おおきな 腕が私を抱いた
言葉もなくシャツの腕 噛む私
今おおきな 腕が私を抱いた
言葉もなくシャツの腕 噛む私
恋は不思議 小さな兎のように動けないわ
でも恋は すばらしい
今おおきな 腕が私を抱いた
言葉もなくシャツの腕 噛む私
恋は不思議 小さな兎のように動けないわ
でも恋は すばらしい
追いかけて行こう あなたのあとから
雨あがりの 誰もいないけものみち
The lyrics of 薬師丸ひろ子's song A LOVER'S CONCERTO are a poetic representation of the aspiring emotions of a lover, who is willing to go to any lengths to follow her beloved. The singer expresses her desire to follow her lover down a deserted path after the rain. Although there is a rainbow shining bright in the sky, she feels a darkness in her heart. She admits that even if her feet were to be hurt along the way, she wants to stay by her lover's side in the forest, where they can be alone together. She is so overwhelmed by the strength of her feelings that she is trembling and the desire to cry becomes irresistible. She will confess to her lover that she belongs to him and him alone.
The song continues with a description of a moment where the singer is embraced by her lover. She relies on his arms to guide her on this path of love that at times can seem uncertain and daunting, but which is ultimately worth it. The singer depicts love as a powerful force that can make you feel vulnerable, and yet at the same time, it is incredible. The lyrics are perfectly complemented by the melody, soft and romantic, a true declaration of love.
