N. Ravikiran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why don't you forget?
僕ら過ごした あの memories
終わらない日々は shine on me
Oh, stand by me 奇跡なんだきっと
これからも we're the brotherhood
I'll never forget the days with you
Oh stand by me
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Do you know? 最初は孤独な one way (one way)
I know, I know, I know, I know
At that time だけど今 I don't walk alone
We both hurt each other 傷つけ合った
And we've become closer never fade away!
Oh stand by me
Why don't you forget?
僕ら過ごした あの memories
終わらない日々は shine on me
Oh stand by me 奇跡なんだきっと
これからも we're the brotherhood
I'll never forget the days with you
Oh stand by me
Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me know
僕らの my eyes には sunrise (sunrise)
Set me, set me, set me, set me, set me free
可能性は it's just 無限大
We both hurt each other 傷つけ合った
And we've become closer never fade away!
Oh stand by me
Why don't you forget?
僕ら過ごした あの memories
終わらない日々は shine on me
Oh stand by me 奇跡なんだ きっと
これからも we're the brotherhood
I'll never forget the days with you
Oh stand by me, me
You make me up now
We are lonely, not alone
So, you must stand up, please
Come back, please
Stay with me, stand by me
Oh stand by me
Nobody knows the future
でも tomorrow is another day
だから いつまでも carry on
Oh stand by me
This is destiny 多分
This is a never ending dream
We'll never forget the days with you
Oh stand by me
Oh stand by me
