PRINCESS PRINCESS Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

言葉を探すあなたの背中が
ちいさく見えて目をそらした
私より好きな誰かのこと
もう言わないでもうこれ以上
ここへ来ようと言われた時から
恋のゆくえに気付いてたの
忘れないあの日出逢えたこと
そうこの場所で海を見ていた

聞こえるでしょう汽笛がほら
まるで恋を見送ってるみたい
風に乗せて思い出へと

あなたがくれた指輪を返すわ
悲しい夢を見ないように
約束はいつも消えてくもの
知っていたのに信じたかった
ねえお願い５分だけは
この景色をやきつけさせていて
愛してたあなたのそばで

だいじょうぶよ涙じゃない

ほんのすこし恋がこぼれただけ
言わせてほしいさよならを

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "Minato no Mieru Oka" ("The Hill with a View of the Harbor") by Princess Princess. The song tells the story of a person who is trying to find the right words to say to someone they love, but their feelings are so strong that they must avert their gaze. They confess that there is someone else they love more than themselves and beg the person not to say anything more. The song implies that they have realized the outcome of their love and will never forget the day they met. They reminisce about a specific moment, standing in a certain location and looking at the sea, as if trying to send their love on the wind and create a memory.

The second verse talks about returning a ring given by the person they love, so as not to have sad dreams. They acknowledge that promises always fade away, even though they knew that, they still wanted to believe. They ask for just five more minutes to memorize the scenery and reminisce about being by the side of the person they loved. The last line expresses a desire to be able to say goodbye.

Overall, the lyrics convey a bittersweet feeling of unrequited love, sacrifice, and a longing for closure. The singer is conflicted by their own feelings and wishes for a few more precious moments with the person they love before saying goodbye.
