街を走る路面電車が
ゆっくりと止まる音が好き
急いだってしょうがないよって
脱力したその感じ

気になってる彼の前では
口をすぼめ息を吐いてるの
胸に思い溜まりすぎると

重くなって来るじゃない?

もっと普通の自分でいたいだけよ
何も求めていない (I don't need)
恋はいつだって (one dish love) なるようにしかならない

このまま100年待てばいいことあるかもね
上手く行くかなイェーイ! イェーイ! ロマンス
無理して何とかしてみても疲れるだけだし
だからペース落として
イェーイ! イェーイ! よろしく!

アスファルトの散水車の上
水しぶきの空に虹が出て
世の中って面白いなって
客観的に眺めたり

相変わらず彼については
今以上に距離も縮まらず
それはそれで気楽でいいと
負け惜しみも慣れて来た

夢や理想をこの手で掴むために
背伸びなんかしたくない (be myself)
汗をかいたって (tomorrow will come) 結果はきっと同じ

そのうち100年経ってどこかで会いましょう
忘れないでイェーイ! イェーイ! 私を
今すぐ好きだと言わなくても
人生は長いから風のように自由に
イェーイ! イェーイ! このまま

100年くらい絶対好きでいるし
実るのかなイェーイ! イェーイ! この恋
今すぐどうにかならなくても
時間ならあるから

100年待てばいいことあるかもね
上手く行くかなイェーイ! イェーイ! ロマンス
無理して何とかしてみても疲れるだけだし
だからペース落として

イェーイ! イェーイ! よろしく!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Keyakizaka46's "Hyakunenmateba" depict a sense of acceptance and contentment with one's current situation, particularly in regards to love. The singer expresses a liking for the slow sound of the tram stopping on the street, emphasizing the importance of taking things at a relaxed pace. They suggest that there is no point in rushing and that it's better to let go and just be oneself. In the presence of someone they are interested in, the singer becomes quiet and holds their breath. They describe how keeping too many feelings inside can become burdensome. The desire to live as a more ordinary self is expressed, with no specific expectations or need for love, as love will naturally become what it is meant to be. The lyrics convey the notion that sometimes it's best to wait and not force things, as good things may happen if we wait for a hundred years.
