My Lovely Thing
May'n Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My lovely thing is everything

いつの頃から君といるだろう
わからないほどずっといるから
もう自然なままで空気みたいで
いつまでふたりここにいるだろう
このまま君のそばにいたくて
もし許されるならお願いだから

ああ夜が眠りかけて
闇が降りてきても
私の想い眠らない眠れない
One... 今はすこし戸惑ってる
Two... たぶんきっと
そんな季節ねだけど
Three... いつも君を感じてたい
It's you それだけでいいの
My lovely thing is everything

昨日今日明日変わらないもの
確かめたくて瞳を閉じる
ほらそれは心の中にあるから
ああこの星では誰も
寂しがりやだから
涙を隠す場所もない
術(すべ)もない
One... ゆれる君の長いまつ毛
Two... すこし高い
かすれた声も好きよ
Three... 前を見てる強い心
It's you 宝物だから
My lovely thing is everything
One... 今はすこし戸惑ってる
Two... たぶんきっと
そんな季節ねだけど
Three... いつも君を感じてたい
It's you それだけは確か
My lovely thing is everything

My lovely thing is everything

My lovely thing is everything

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "My Lovely Thing" by May'n is a song about the endless love and bond between two people. The opening lines suggest that the singer has been with this person for so long that they can't remember when they first met. Their love is so natural and effortless like the air they breathe. The chorus repeats the central theme of the song: "My lovely thing is everything," which means that everything she has ever wanted or needed is contained within their relationship.

The second verse of the song speaks to the unbreakable bond between these two people. No matter what changes come their way - past, present, or future - she wants to be with them, to feel their presence. She cherishes every moment with them, even if it makes her confused or overwhelmed. She loves their voice, their long eyelashes, and their strong heart. She notes that on this planet, everyone is lonely, but with her lover, she is never alone. This song is a beautiful tribute to a long-lasting relationship built on trust, love and connection.
