You are the one!
高橋洋子 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

長い髪をまだ忘れられずにいた
その心も体も過去の人だね
影なんかじゃない でもそこにいない気がする
凶器ではない 重すぎる真実でも
共に歩いた道を忘れないで欲しい
聞くことのない 聞くことのできない
儚いさだめ…
You are best
言い訳なんて
Who are you?
言い方なんて
We are lost
どうでもいいの
You are the one!

ただ生かされているだけの
輪廻をくぐり抜け
いつか生まれ変わる前に
伝えたくて…
愛したくて…

細い指をまだ忘れられずにいた
明日からは別の道が待っている
心配なんてしなくてもいいんだよと
言えるのならどれだけ楽になるのだろう…
試されるような時も 信じていてほしい
君に会うため生まれてきたと言える日のため…

You are best
言い訳なんて
Who are you?
言い方なんて
We are lost
どうでもいいの
You are the one!

開きかけた胸の扉
見逃したりはしない
だから今夜 時を止めて
瞳凝らし…
愛しつくそう…

You are best
言い訳なんて
Who are you?
言い方なんて
We are lost
どうでもいいの
You are the one!

ただ生かされているだけの
輪廻をくぐり抜け
いつか生まれ変わる前に




伝えたくて…
愛したくて…

Overall Meaning

The Japanese lyrics of the song "You are the one!" by Yoko Takahashi heavily revolve around the themes of love, memories, and persevering regardless of the situation. The first verse speaks of someone who cannot forget their memories, including those of someone with long hair. The singer wants the person to remember their shared past, even if they've moved onto a different path. Despite feeling like an intangible presence, she is not a weapon of destruction or a heavy truth. She wants them to remember the fragile fate they share.


The chorus repeats that "you are the one!" amidst various phrases that illustrate the insignificance of excuses, words, and directions. The singer affirms that both she and the person listening are lost, but that does not matter. These phrases lead to the idea that the person listening is the most important part of the singer's life, no matter what.


The second verse speaks of tomorrow and the future ahead. The singer does not want the person to worry about it, but to believe in themselves and in their shared fate. She wants them to believe that they were born to meet each other, that they can overcome the trials they face, and that they will cherish each other.
