生まれてはじめて
Kristen Bell & Idina Menzel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The window is open, so's that door
I didn't know they did that anymore
Who knew we owned eight thousand salad plates?
For years I've roamed these empty halls
Why have a ballroom with no balls?
Finally they're opening up the gates

There'll be actual real live people
It'll be totally strange
But wow, am I so ready for this change?

'Cause for the first time in forever
There'll be music, there'll be light
For the first time in forever
I'll be dancing through the night

Don't know if I'm elated or gassy
But I'm somewhere in that zone
'Cause for the first time in forever
I won't be alone

I can't wait to meet everyone!
What if I meet the one?

Tonight imagine me gown and all
Fetchingly draped against the wall
The picture of sophisticated grace
Ooh! I suddenly see him standing there
A beautiful stranger, tall and fair
I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face

But then we laugh and talk all evening
Which is totally bizarre
Nothing like the life I've led so far

For the first time in forever
There'll be magic, there'll be fun
For the first time in forever
I could be noticed by someone

And I know it is totally crazy
To dream I'd find romance
But for the first time in forever
At least I've got a chance

Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, put on a show
Make one wrong move and everyone will know

But it's only for today
It's only for today
It's agony to wait
It's agony to wait

Tell the guards to open up the gate
The gate

For the first time in forever
Don't let them in, don't let them see
I'm getting what I'm dreaming of
Be the good girl you always have to be
A chance to change my lonely world
Conceal
A chance to find true love
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know

I know it all ends tomorrow
So it has to be today
'Cause for the first time in forever




For the first time in forever
Nothing's in my way!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song 生まれてはじめて, as performed by Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel, are a reflection of a young woman's excitement and anxiety as she prepares to attend a ball for the first time in her life. The opening lines of the song, "The window is open, so's that door / I didn't know they did that anymore," establish a tone of wonder and disbelief, as the woman realizes that she is experiencing things she never imagined were possible.


Throughout the song, she reflects on the contrast between her previous life of loneliness and isolation, and the possibility of finding excitement and perhaps even love at the ball. She is both excited for the new experiences and opportunities that lie ahead, while also anxious about what others may think of her and afraid of making a mistake that could ruin the evening.


Despite her fears, the woman is determined to seize this moment and enjoy the experiences that come her way, knowing that this chance may not come again. The final lines of the song, "For the first time in forever / Nothing's in my way," encapsulate this sense of determination and hope, as she embraces the uncertainty of the future with open arms.
