ORIGINAL LOVE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

夜に流れるようなおまえの髪に
誘われる二人のランデヴー
その思わせ振りな冷めた唇に
迷い込む危険なランデヴー
高鳴る想い誰にも止められない
風は遠く連れ去ってくれるから
全ては maybe baby maybe 星の彼方
言葉は maybe baby maybe

いらないから
二人は maybe baby maybe 限りなく
maybe baby maybe 時を越える

闇を引き裂くように走る隙間で
絡み合う秘密のランデヴー
乱れる想い誰にも止められない
風は深く連れ去ってくれるから
全ては maybe baby maybe 星の彼方
言葉は maybe baby maybe
いらないから
二人は maybe baby maybe 限りなく
maybe baby maybe 時を越える
全ては maybe baby maybe 星の彼方
言葉は maybe baby maybe
いらないから
二人は maybe baby maybe 繰り返す
maybe baby maybe baby

I love you.

Overall Meaning

The Japanese lyrics of "Maybe Baby Maybe" by Original Love are a romantic tale of two individuals who are drawn to each other's mystique like moths to a flame. The song begins with the imagery of the woman's long hair flowing in the night, beckoning the male protagonist towards their rendezvous. However, he is wary of the woman's seemingly detached demeanor and wonders if he is getting into a dangerous liaison. Nonetheless, their hearts beat wildly with desire and they cannot resist the pull of their emotions. The lyrics seem to suggest that love is a game of chance and the couple must rely on fate to guide them towards each other.

The second half of the song describes the couple's secret meetings as they escape into the darkness together. The lyrics are more intense and the metaphor of wind taking them away is repeated to signify the depth of their passion. The words "maybe baby maybe" are repeated like a mantra, indicating the couple's uncertainty about their future, yet their strong commitment to each other. The song ends with the male protagonist proclaiming his love for the woman, despite the odds.
