Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
omae mo kitto hagurete
tooi ashita wo sagasu no
niteru ne watashi-tachi
dareka wo shinjiru koto wa
kizutsuku koto na no ni
I wish for your love
Why? aoi hoshi nee oshiete
I wish for your love
kirinai itami wo
dousureba furikire'ru no
ai wo oboeru tabi
hito wa yowakunatte-iku
kitsuku mune wo daite'te mo
hitori ja irarenai
yume sae kooraseru hodo
konna ni nikundemo
I wanna be your love
I wanna be your love
Why? samishisa wo korosenai
I wanna be your love
chigireta kokoro de
tsuyoku nante narenai ne
I wish for your love
I wish for your love
Why? aoi hoshi nee kanaete
I wish for your love
tatta hitotsu dake
dare yori mo aisaretai
The lyrics of "I Wish" by 蘇芮 (Sū Ruì) express the longing for a love that is elusive yet desired with great intensity. The opening line "yami ni matataku hoshi" (the stars sparkling in darkness) sets the tone for the wishful thinking expressed in the rest of the song. The singer is already aware that the person she is addressing, represented by the words "omae" (you), may already be lost, but she wishes to pursue the search for a better tomorrow that they both have to look forward to. She sees a reflection of herself in the person she is addressing, hence the repeated phrase "niteru ne watashi-tachi" (we are similar).
The next stanza talks about the futility of believing in someone, as it often results in getting hurt. However, her feelings for the person are so deep that she still yearns for their love, and this is expressed through the chorus "I wish for your love". She asks the blue stars above for assistance in attaining this love that is eluding her. She reasons that the pain she is suffering from is something she wants to overcome, and she is puzzled about how to rid herself of it, hence the line "kirinai itami wo dousureba furikire'ru no" (How can I get over this constant pain?).
The bridge of the song continues the theme of love by talking about how it strengthens individuals but can make them vulnerable at the same time. She wishes to be the person's love so that she does not have to bear the pain of loneliness anymore. The song ends with the powerful line "tatta hitotsu dake dare yori mo aisaretai" (I just want to be loved more than anyone else), signifying the depth of the singer's wish.
