HY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
今は、もう別々の道を あなたは私を置いて
幸せになったんだね 人づてに聞いたよ
あなたなら、きっとステキな人と一緒になれると思ってた
もう、二度とは戻れないんだね
あんな風に笑ったり あなたが触れてくる事も
「もしもあの時別れなければ…」大好きだった昔の人よ
あれから二人 違う人生を歩んできたけれど
あなたを忘れた事なんてないよ
あなたじゃない人を 好きになろうと決めた…
それなのに心のどこか また、もう一度、戻れる気がして
踏み出せないあの日から全て
思えばあなたは本当に最高の人だった
大好きだった昔の人よ 今もあなたを思いだしては 振り返るの
「もしもあの子が私だったら…」
どうして終わった恋はキレイな二人だけを映すの
あなたが決めた たった一人の 人を思っては
戻ってくれるわけはないのに 今もあなたをこんなにも
大好きだった昔の人よ 時が経っても
忘れられない恋だったの 大切だった昔の人よ
大好きだった昔の人よ
二度と戻れぬ昔の人よ
The song "Mukashi No Hitoyo" by HY is a ballad about a failed relationship. The singer reminisces about their past love and how, despite promising to always be together, their ex-partner has now chosen a different path and left them behind. The singer hears through the grapevine that their ex-partner has found happiness with someone else, and although they once believed that their ex-partner would find someone wonderful, they cannot help feeling a sense of loss and regret.
The song captures the bittersweet feelings of nostalgia and loss that often come with looking back on past relationships. The singer cannot help thinking about what could have been, imagining a life in which they had never parted ways. Yet, they also acknowledge that they have grown and changed since then, and that their ex-partner may have done the same. Despite this, the love that they once shared remains a cherished memory.
Overall, the lyrics are a poignant and heartfelt tribute to a past love, reflecting on the warmth and beauty that it once brought into the singer's life, even as they acknowledge the distance that now separates them.

Now we're on separate paths, and you've left me behind
幸せになったんだね 人づてに聞いたよ
I heard through others that you've found happiness
あなたなら、きっとステキな人と一緒になれると思ってた
I always thought you'd end up with someone wonderful
もう、二度とは戻れないんだね

それなのに心のどこか また、もう一度、戻れる気がして
Yet, somewhere in my heart, I feel like we can go back again
踏み出せないあの日から全て
It's been everything from that day when I couldn't take the first step
思えばあなたは本当に最高の人だった
Looking back, you really were the best
「もしもあの子が私だったら…」
"What if that girl was me..."
どうして終わった恋はキレイな二人だけを映すの
Why do ended relationships only show the beautiful times?

And yet, even though you won't come back, I still love you so much
