深い森の向こうへと
(real love,
my dear, is not for sale.)
ずっと目を凝らしても僕は
見つけられなかったけど…
(real love,
my dear, is hard to find.)
君へつないだ手はいつまでも
離さないから
それだけは信じて良いよ
やっと手を伸ばして掴んだ
嬉しくて抱きしめた
(real faith,
my dear, is far too fake.)
それはとても儚くて
すぐに枯れて腐ったよ
(real faith,
my dear, is just a dream.)
いつか世界中が喜びとめぐり逢う頃
君と出会えてたら
途切れない悲しみなんて
決して見せなかったのに
Where can it be.
Where can it be. …in my heart.
聞いて
世界中が過ちに穢れていても
君へつないだ手は
いつまでも離さないから
たとえこの想いさえ…
嘘に思われても
君への輝きはいつまでも
降り注いでる
それだけは信じて良いよ
The song "My Dear" by L'Arc~en~Ciel is a poignant reflection on the elusive nature of love and faith. The opening verse invites the listener on a quest to search for love in the depths of a forest, but the chorus reminds us that "real love" and "real faith" are difficult to find and not for sale. Despite the world being tainted by mistakes and impurities, the singer promises to never let go of the hand of the one they love. The second verse describes how the singer is finally able to grasp and embrace their love, but realizes that their "real faith" is fleeting and fades away quickly. The lyrics suggest that the love between the singer and their beloved could have helped them avoid the never-ending sadness that plagues the world.
What makes "My Dear" so compelling is how the lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness and longing while also offering a glimmer of optimism. In the face of life's hardships and disappointments, the song suggests that there is still beauty and meaning to be found in love and faith. The repeated refrain of "Where can it be. Where can it be. …in my heart" speaks to the universal search for love and purpose that we all undertake. The song reminds us that, despite the challenges we may face, our connection to others and to something greater can provide comfort and strength.
