水とあなたと太陽と
Mariya Takeuchi (竹内まりや) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

焼けた素肌にまとうシーツの
冷たさを二人わけあう午後
風がレエスのカーテン踊らせ
眠りの向うで波が響く
時に追われて暮らす毎日を
逃れてひそかに訪れた島
ラジオが鳴らすけだるいボサノヴァ
Ah 夢ならばさめないでいつまでも

夕陽が部屋を満たす頃には
エスバドリーユで海へ駆け出す
人影のないこの島はいつも
二人だけのもの太陽さえ
息をはずませあなたの両手に
飛び込んだとたん波にのまれて
崩れゆくシルエット夏を映し出すの
Ah 夢ならばさめないでいつまでも

さめないで
いつまでも

The lyrics of Mariya Takeuchi's song "Mizu to Anata to Taiyō to" (Water, You, and the Sun) describe a peaceful afternoon shared by two people wrapped in cool sheets on hot, sunburned skin. As they escape their hectic lives, they find themselves on a private island where a lazy bossa nova plays on the radio. The wind dances the curtains as the sound of waves echoes through the air, creating a calming atmosphere. The island seems to be just theirs as they run to the sea at sunset.

The island is a sanctuary from the busy life they are leaving behind. They are content to live in this idyllic world and treasure the moment that stretches into eternity. The song is a beautiful expression of escape and love, with the lyrics imploring 'if it's a dream, then don't wake me up ever.'

The lyrics are poetic and hauntingly beautiful. The song carries a sense of nostalgia and longing for a moment that has now passed. The lyrics evoke a sense of calm, relaxation, and love that Mariya Takeuchi's beautiful voice perfectly complements.
