Let Go
Nakamura Maiko Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let go... let go... let go...
I know I gotta let go
Let go... let go... let go...
I know I gotta leave
my past behind and let go
Let go... let go... let go...
I know I gotta be strong
You better know
where you're going and
know where you're from
Better believe it baby,
let's go...
このまま 忘れられなくて
閉じ込めては いられなくて
踏み込んじゃいけないと
わかってても
この気持ち どうしても
gotta let you know
あつく 激しく 動く時間の中で
欲しいよ 君の heart, boy...
一瞬でも
叶わない恋におぼれても このまま
夢から覚めたくない can't let go
ワガママでもいい
揺るがない愛がここに欲しいよ
(Better believe it baby,
let's go...)
(I know I gotta let go)
yeah, yeah, yeah...
全ての始まりは
"Hey how you doin'?"
yeah, yeah, yeah...
二人目と目が合い
幕開けたストーリーライン
yeah, yeah, yeah...
そして、出会いと別れが
セットかのように
yeah, yeah, yeah...
時は止まり、そばにいなくても
I'm alright なんて強がり
でも隣にいないと心痛み
Just wanderin' if you
feel the same 同じ
気持ちなのか確かめたくてマジ
空回りしてばかり
ain't nobody でも
怖がらずに手綱ゆるめてこう
自由つかむため let go...
I'm tellin' you
エゴは心のテロ...
甘く 静かに 時は流れてくのに
体が It's breaking apart boy
どうして
壊れそうな位 不安になるだけ
Oh why 独り占めしたくなるの
何も言わずに
ただ君の愛がここに欲しいよ
Let go... let go... let go...
I know I gotta let go
Let go... let go... let go...
I know I gotta leave
my past behind and let go
Let go... let go... let go...
I know I gotta be strong
You better know
where you're going and
know where you're from
Better believe it baby,
let's go...
Love Train...

Tell me how to be free
Oh baby
Will my heart be free?
So tell me 一瞬でも
叶わない恋におぼれても このまま
夢から覚めたくない can't let go
ワガママでもいい
揺るがない愛がここに欲しいよ
壊れそうな位 不安になるだけ
Oh why 独り占めしたくなるの
何も言わずに
ただ君の愛がここに欲しいよ ...
(Let go... let go... let go... )
(Let go... let go... let go... )
(So tell me)




(Better believe it baby,
let's go...)
