Shizumu yuuhi kara RARARA koboreru ai no uta
Chikai anata kara RARARA koboreru ai no shizuku

Deai sae unmei to yoberu no
Anata dake ni ima subete no toki wo sasagu wa

* Nemuru toki ni mo douka wasurenaide
Yureru KOKORO wo tsuyoku uketomete ne

Fukai nemuri kara RARARA afureru yume no uta
Tooi watashi kara RARARA afureru yume no shizuku

Sekaijuu donna yuusha yori
Anata dake ga ima watashi wo mamoru densetsu

Dare mo shiranai shinjitsu koko ni aru to
Kotoba nakutemo setsunai hodo tsutawaru

Anata dake ni ima subete no toki wo sasagu wa

Overall Meaning

The song "LAST WALTZ" by Mika Nakashima is a poignant expression of love and devotion towards a special someone that is evident in all aspects of life. The chorus, "Shizumu yuuhi kara RARARA koboreru ai no uta Chikai anata kara RARARA koboreru ai no shizuku," talks about how the love between the two is so strong that it pours out in the form of a song from the setting sun and as droplets from the person's vow. The lyrics go on to express how fate may have brought the two together, but it is the singer's choice to dedicate all her time to the person. The lines "Anata dake ni ima subete no toki wo sasagu wa Nemuru toki ni mo douka wasurenaide Yureru KOKORO wo tsuyoku uketomete ne" depict the singer's willingness to give up her time to the person alone and please them even when she is asleep.


The second half of the chorus, "Fukai nemuri kara RARARA afureru yume no uta Tooi watashi kara RARARA afureru yume no shizuku" is a reflection of the dreams and aspirations that the singer has, all of which are related to her special someone. The song is a tribute to a love so strong that it transcends all boundaries, be it distance or time. The following lines "Sekaijuu donna yuusha yori Anata dake ga ima watashi wo mamoru densetsu" are a testament to the fact that the person is more than a hero to the singer, they are their whole world and the person who protects them from the troubles of the world. The final line, "Dare mo shiranai shinjitsu koko ni aru to Kotoba nakutemo setsunai hodo tsutawaru," talks about how the truths of life aren't always apparent to everyone, and even when there are no words, one can perceive the poignant reality of it all.
