ポニーテールとシュシュ
GILLE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time flies by,
The calendar is a blaze
Collar open though
It is still early days
Look up to the sky,
The sun seems closer today
My fashion sense, tells me
The seasons gonna change
Beautiful blue sea
Waves are breaking on the beach

To be right there now with you
Splashing in the surf together
Ponytail (swishing to and fro)
Dancing in the wind
As you run on the beach
(As I run on the beach)
Footprints in the sand
Ponytail (swishing to and fro)
Looking back at you
Emotion in your eyes
Here it comes,
Summertime it is here

Sunshine streams
Into the room where we are
Daydreaming, it seems so close
Touching me now
I see you standing there
I feel my heart skip a beat
Need you so bad
I feel like I'm gonna explode
Tell you you're the one
Can't say now
It's not the time
Whisper to your silhouette
Crying out "you're my desire"
Ponytail (sadness fades away)
Living in the dream
Every part of you
(Every piece of me)
Keys to my heart
Ponytail (sadness fades away)
This lonely one way love
You see me, I see you!
But for now you know
We are only friends

Long and silky beautiful hair
See it swishing to and fro
But I just can't seem to catch
The tail of loving I need
Touch if you dare,
See it disappear
Into thin air
Ponytail (don't you let it down)
Never gonna change
You the way that you are
(Me the way that I'm)
Always having fun
Ponytail (don't you let it down)
There forever more
Dancing without a care
Stay this way,
You are young and wild and free

Lalalalala lalalalala

Lalalalala lalalalala
Lalalala
Lalalalala lalalalala

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of GILLE's song ポニーテールとシュシュ (Poniteeru to Shushu, Ponytail and Scrunchie) are about the memories of a summer love that never quite came to be. The songwriter describes the passage of time, with the calendar flying by and the sun seeming closer every day. The singer reminisces about spending time on the beach with the object of their affection, splashing in the surf together with their ponytails swishing in the wind. Daydreaming in the sunshine and feeling their heart skip a beat, the songwriter wishes they could confess their feelings, but realizes that for now, they are just friends.


The lyrics use a mix of imagery and emotion to convey the beauty of youth and the fleeting nature of summer love. The ponytails and scrunchies represent a carefree and innocent time, while the waves breaking on the beach and the sun streaming through the window symbolize the passage of time itself. The singer feels the emotion in their own eyes and in those of their crush but is unable to act on their feelings, resigned to simply enjoying the memories of their time together.


Line by Line Meaning

Time flies by,
The passage of time is so swift


The calendar is a blaze
The days are moving quickly


Collar open though
My shirt is open at the neck


It is still early days
The day is still young


Look up to the sky,
I gaze into the heavens


The sun seems closer today
The sun appears nearer and brighter than usual


My fashion sense, tells me
My intuition is telling me


The seasons gonna change
We are approaching a new season


Beautiful blue sea
The ocean is picturesque and calming


Waves are breaking on the beach
The waves are crashing onto the shore


To be right there now with you
I wish to be with you at this moment


Splashing in the surf together
Playing in the waves with you


Ponytail (swishing to and fro)
Your hair is moving back and forth


Dancing in the wind
Your hair is dancing in the wind


As you run on the beach
You are running on the sandy shore


(As I run on the beach)
I also run alongside you


Footprints in the sand
Our imprints in the shore


Ponytail (swishing to and fro)
Your hair is still moving


Looking back at you
I turn around to see you


Emotion in your eyes
I see emotions in your eyes


Here it comes,
The moment has arrived


Summertime it is here
We have entered the summer season


Sunshine streams
The sun's rays are shining upon us


Into the room where we are
The light enters the room where we are


Daydreaming, it seems so close
I'm lost in thought and it feels achievable


Touching me now
I feel your touch


I see you standing there
I see you standing before me


I feel my heart skip a beat
My heart races with excitement


Need you so bad
I desire you tremendously


I feel like I'm gonna explode
My emotions are overwhelming


Tell you you're the one
Confess my love for you


Can't say now
I am unable to say it right now


It's not the time
The timing is not right


Whisper to your silhouette
I speak softly to your shadow


Crying out "you're my desire"
I shout my desire for you


Ponytail (sadness fades away)
Your hair (and my sadness) disappears


Living in the dream
I'm living in a fantasy


Every part of you
I cherish every aspect of you


(Every piece of me)
And you reciprocate my feelings


Keys to my heart
You hold the key to my heart


Ponytail (sadness fades away)
Your hair (and my sadness) disappear again


This lonely one way love
My unrequited love


You see me, I see you!
We are aware of each other's presence


But for now you know
At least for now


We are only friends
We are solely platonic friends


Long and silky beautiful hair
Your beautiful hair is long and smooth


See it swishing to and fro
It moves back and forth elegantly


But I just can't seem to catch
I can't seem to capture


The tail of loving I need
The affection I yearn for


Touch if you dare,
If you're bold enough to touch it,


See it disappear
You will see it vanish


Into thin air
Just like that, gone


Ponytail (don't you let it down)
Don't let your hair go


Never gonna change
I won't change anything


You the way that you are
I love everything about you


(Me the way that I'm)
And you feel the same about me


Always having fun
We're always enjoying each other's company


Ponytail (don't you let it down)
Keep your hair bouncing


There forever more
I will always be there


Dancing without a care
We will dance without any worries


Stay this way,
Let's stay like this


You are young and wild and free
We are young and carefree


Lalalalala lalalalala
La la la la la la la la la


Lalalala
La la la la


Lalalalala lalalalala
La la la la la la la la la


Lalalala
La la la la


Lalalalala lalalalala
La la la la la la la la la


Lalalala

AKBの曲の中で、この曲が一番好きです。 別の歌手で、別のアレンジで、別の言語で聴いて、この曲の良さが再確認できました。 この子、歌も英語もほんとにうまいですね。 折角の英語ヴァージョンだから、レディーガガやビヨンせにも歌ってもらいたい。

Abdul Haaziq Abdul Hamid
