Sakurako Ohara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ロマンスなら甘い方が好みなのに
息もできないくらい
あなたを想ってるから
恋してるより愛しい
特別なあなた
ときめくよりもずっと大切にしたいから
迷路みたい絡まったあなたの糸
ほどいてみたい辛いのもわかりたいの
息もできないくらい
あなたを想ってるから
愛してるとは言えない
特別なあなた
愛の言葉伝えたら壊れそう
ときめくよりもそっと見守っていたいから
寝ても覚めても四六時中
(You're on my mind always)
明くる日も側にいさせて
見守っているから
愛の言葉伝えたら壊れそうで
ときめくよりもずっと大切にしたいから
生きてくあなたとまたこれからこのまま
あなたが輝いて幸せでいられますように願う
The lyrics of Sakurako Ohara's song "Love Letter" express the longing and deep affection felt towards a special someone. The first verse paints a picture of a dream-like afternoon, reminiscent of a movie scene. The singer confesses that although they prefer sweet and romantic moments, their love for this person is so intense that it takes their breath away. They express that this love is even more precious than simply being in love; it is something extraordinary and unique.
In the second verse, the singer compares their feelings to a tangled thread, like a maze that they want to unravel. They desire to understand the difficult aspects of the person they love and empathize with their struggles. Again, the intensity of their love is emphasized, making it difficult for them to even breathe as they constantly think about this person. The singer admits that they cannot say they love this person, as their affection surpasses mere words.
The chorus reveals the fear of expressing love directly. The singer believes that conveying their feelings of love may cause the fragile connection they have to break. Instead of making their loved one feel excited, they want to cherish and protect them with a gentle and watchful eye.
The bridge signifies the significant presence of this person in the singer's life. Day and night, they are constantly on their mind. The singer wishes to be by their side, both when sleeping and waking up, providing constant support and watching over them.
The final verse expresses the singer's desire to continue living with this person, in the same way, going forward. They wish for this person's happiness and for their light to shine brightly. The lyrics close with a heartfelt wish for their loved one's eternal happiness and well-being.
