聖夜
FictionJunction YUUKA Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

星屑の上から最後のベルが鳴る
初めて聴いたメロディー
どうして懐かしい気持ちになる

私が生まれた夜ママは泣いて祈った
悲しみより幸せが
一つだけでいいから
多いように......

Silent Night
凍える夜には
ささやかな灯火で手のひらを暖めて
Holy Night
いつもここにいる
憧れも静けさも胸の中
いつか Holy Night きっと......
Silent Night

もしもこの夜だけ願いが叶うなら
二度と会えない貴方に
会えて嬉しかったと
届けて欲しい

Silent Night
歌声遥かに
聴こえてる鮮やかなコーラスを追いかけて
Holy Night
生まれて来たこと
心から嬉しいと
今だから言えるから

Holy Night
Keep on searchin' for love in the darkness of winter day
Silent Night
届けて欲しい......いつか

Holy Night
Keep on searchin' for love in the darkness of winter day
Silent Night

会える日まで
さよなら...

Overall Meaning

The song "Seiya" by FictionJunction YUUKA starts with a nostalgic tune playing as the final bell rings on top of a stardust. The singer reflects on the melody she hears for the first time and wonders why it brings a sense of familiarity. The first verse hints at the singer's birth night when her mother cried and prayed for her happiness to be abundant. The chorus highlights the importance of a holy and silent night, indicating the singer's yearning for this night to last forever. She explains how even a small light can bring warmth and that she always yearns for it. She expresses her deepest longing to share her joy with those who are no longer with her and how she wants to convey the message to them that she was happy to have met them.

The second verse of the song reveals the singer's wish to meet someone they can no longer be with. She wonders how it would be like to meet them just for tonight and requests her message of gratitude to be delivered. The chorus follows again, describing her search for love in the darkness of the winter days. The song ends with a "goodbye" until the day she meets again.
