Don't be silly
Meiko Nakahara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ビーチ沿いのテラス
パラソルの下で
遅めのブランチを
太陽と海風と
裸足でいる Everyday
時計も持たず遊んでいいこと
好きな方へ歩けば
を... Don't be shy
答えがある筈
夢見たっていいのよ
を... Don't be shy
恐がらないで
It's so easy...
とらわれていたの
平凡な日々に
自由な気持ちを
見ないようにしてた
現実を変えるのは
不安だったの Yesterday
きらめくことがこんなにあること
本当は気づいていたの
好きなようにシナリオ
を... Don't be shy
書き直せばいいの
レールなんて幻
を... Don't be shy
ためらわないで
なんとかなるものなの
Ease yourself
Be yourself
流れる水のように
いつだって任せていたい
好きな方へ歩けば
を... Don't be shy
答えがある筈
夢見たっていいのよ
を... Don't be shy
恐がらないで
好きなようにシナリオ
を... Don't be shy
書き直せばいいの
今日は今日でいいのよ
を... Don't be shy
ためらわなで
It's so easy。
The song "Don't be silly" by Meiko Nakahara talks about the importance of following one's heart and taking risks to achieve one's dreams. The first verse sets up a lazy day by the beach, enjoying the sun and sea breeze, without the constraint of time. The second verse focuses on breaking free from the monotony of everyday life and the fear of changing reality. The chorus encourages the listener to not be afraid of pursuing what they truly want in life, and that it's easy to do so. The bridge aims to bring a sense of peace and comfort to the listener, like flowing water.
The song exudes a warm and uplifting atmosphere and encourages the listeners to let go of their fears and go after what they truly want. The line "答えがある筈" (Kotae ga aru hazu) means "there must be an answer," and is a nod to the idea that no dream or desire is impossible. The lyrics also suggest that while there may be doubts, reaching one's goal can be easy, especially when one's heart is in the right place.
Overall, "Don't be silly" is an encouraging and motivating song that urges people to follow their dreams and to not be afraid to stray from the norm. Its uplifting message and catchy melody make it a favorite in the J-pop genre.
