Believer
Ken Yokoyama Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a believer
Not just a dreamer
Do you think I'm strong?
Do you think I'm wrong?

I'm a believer
Not just a dreamer
Do you think I'm strong?
Do you think I'm wrong?

Look deep inside of me, Do you see what I see?
Now I know my philosophy, I believe I must be me
But this is not the time like it was in '69
You cannot run away to find love
It's not out there, It's right inside your heart

The more I live, The more I dream
No way you can change my mind
So don't you try to fight it
Take my hand and you will see it too

I'm a believer
Not just a dreamer
Do you think I'm strong?
Do you think I'm wrong?

You can have anything you can dream, Anything
But do you know just what you want? Then you can be confident
They don't come walkin' in, Give and get, Everything
Why don't we change the world just like we want?
If we believe, It's not too late to start

The more I live, The more I dream
No way you can change my mind




So don't you try to fight it
Take my hand and you will see it too

こんなにカッコいい歌詞!!曲!!リフ!!
ぜひPVに和訳も載せれると多くの日本人に響きやすい気がします♪

「Believer」 和訳

[オレは強く信じる男なんだ
ただの夢想家じゃない
キミはオレが強いと思うかい?
キミはオレが間違ってると思うかい?

オレの心の奥深くをのぞいてみなよ
オレが見てるモノが見えるかい?
オレには自分らしくありたいって哲学があるんだ
今は1969年の様な時代じゃない
愛を求めて外をさまよったって 何も見つかるワケはない
それは外にはないんだ それはキミの心の中にあるんだ

オレは生きれば生きるほど もっと夢見るようになる
どんな手を使ったって この気持ちは変えられない
だからキミも そういう気持ちに逆らおうとしないで
オレの手をとってごらん そうしたらキミにもわかるよ

キミが望みさえすれば何でも叶うんだ そう何でも
でも自分で何を欲しがっているのかわかってる?
わかったらきっと 自身が持てる
何事も向こうから歩いてきてはくれない
与えて得るんだ そう何事も
世の中をオレ達の好きなように 変えていかないか?
もしオレ達が強く望むなら まだまだ始めるには遅くはない]

そして、ビバ!ハイスタ新譜!ゲリラ販売!!
