JUDY AND MARY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ほろ苦い想い出は 姿を変えて いつもあたしにやさしい
手のひらで確かめるの 予感を抱きしめて 風にキスして
夕焼けは夏の始まり スカートに咲くひまわり
雨に打たれて花びら染めて まばゆい光集めて
願いはひとつだけ 夏を待ってる
あたしがもし咲いたら 君の手で照らして
あたしがもし泣いたら 君の唄で空を青くさせて
空には今でも ひとつだけ
いつでも全てが恋しくて
ゆれるわ ゆれるわ
ブルースと月が星を連れてく あたしの中のきらめき
愛を注いで枯れることなく 指切りをした約束
揺れそうなの 離さないで
あたしを確かめて風の向こうに 夏が待ってる
あたしがもし咲いたら 君の手で照らして
あたしがもし泣いたら 君の唄で空を高くさせて
Yeah 空には今でも ひとつだけ
いつでも全ては やさしくて
今でも見えるよ ひとつだけ
ゆれるわ ゆれるわ ゆれるわ
These lyrics tell a story filled with nostalgia and love. The first verse talks about looking through an opera glass and seeing fragments of memories that are surprisingly childlike and cute. The bittersweet memories have transformed into something gentle and always comforting to the singer. It suggests that the passage of time has softened the pain associated with those memories and replaced them with a sense of warmth.
The second verse describes a summer evening, with the sunset signaling the beginning of the season. The image of sunflowers blooming on a skirt and petals being dyed by the rain evoke a vibrant and colorful atmosphere. The singer collects the dazzling light, hinting at the idea of cherishing the beautiful moments life has to offer.
The chorus begs for the absence of goodbyes, while expressing a single wish: to wait for summer. It implies that the singer longs for the season of joy and happiness, where new beginnings are possible.
The third verse introduces a personal connection between the singer and someone they address as "you." The singer asks the person to illuminate them if they bloom and to make the sky blue if they cry. It speaks of a deep trust and reliance on this person's presence and influence to bring comfort and happiness to the singer's life.
The lyrics return to the idea of a solitary presence in the sky. In the midst of loneliness, the singer confesses that everything is still missed, serving as a reminder of the emotions and memories tied to that single presence. The repeated phrase "yureru wa" emphasizes the singer's vulnerability and emotional state.
Overall, the lyrics convey a longing for summer and the transformative power of love and memories. It speaks of cherishing moments, finding comfort in a loved one's presence, and the beauty that exists in simplicity.
