Night Child
1986 OMEGA TRIBE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

SUNSET――蒼いとばりがビルの谷間 降りたらきらめく City Lights
LADY――髪をほどいて サヨウナラも言わずに 消えてく Station
ぼくの知らない影 君に近づき 感じてた嫉妬(ジェラシー) 胸に隠して
My honey, looking in my mind
ゆれる思い 確かめたい気持ちで
I miss you, searching in your heart
素直なまま 1度目のコールは suddenly
Ring the bell sweet with love

MIDNIGHT――ふいに窓打つ通り雨に 心を濡らして Dial
LONELY――たった一人で 夜にむかい ささやく君を見つけた
真昼のオフィスレディ 醒めた微笑(ほほえみ)
今、あどけない声 戸惑わせるよ
Night baby, cause I love you so
時間(トキ)の隙間 埋めてく恋の予感
Forever, let me in your heart
心の奥 見つめる無邪気な瞳は
Like a child live in night

Looking in my mind
失くしてきた ぬくもり甦えらし
I miss you, searching in your heart
出来るならば 夜明けまで 心からませ
Like a child over night

Cause I love you so
予期せぬ愛 もうベールは脱ぎ捨て
Forever, let me be your heart




いつかきっと 僕の胸で そっとおやすみ
Like a child, sleep in night

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Night Child" by 1986 OMEGA TRIBE depicts a story of a man who is deeply in love with a woman who seems to disappear from his life without a goodbye. In the opening lines, the singer describes the glittering city lights and a blue haze which has descended between the buildings, possibly representing a feeling of melancholy. He then describes his lady love who has left him, possibly in search of a new place or a new life, without saying goodbye. The singer feels something stir within him as he observes an unknown shadow approaching his lover, and he surrenders to a feeling of envy which he tries to conceal within his heart. He wants to convey his feelings to her but is hesitatingly uncertain.


As the song progresses, the singer reveals that he indeed misses his lover deeply and wishes to be with her once again. The lyrics capture a moment when the singer is standing alone in the dead of night, with rain coming down hard, and he hears a voice whisper. This mysterious voice calls out to him and he immediately recognises it, and can feel that this is his long-lost lover. The singer describes his lover's weak smile that illuminates her face during the daytime and her immature voice which baffles him at night. He then goes on to describe the feeling of love that fills his heart when he thinks of her, and the prophecy of everlasting love that he foresees as they look at each other's innocent eyes.


Overall, "Night Child" by 1986 OMEGA TRIBE is a poignant song that invokes a feeling of nostalgia and yearning for people who have loved and lost. The romantic composition and the deeply emotive lyrics make it a memorable piece of music that leaves a lasting impression on listeners.
