100億のLove Story
THE ALFEE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
数え切れない星空の下
偶然という出逢いの奇跡
あの日からすべては変わった
家路に向かう人の群れを
夕陽が赤く映し出してる
抱えきれない哀しみの過去
誰もが心に秘めて
愛の光り胸に灯して
どんな時だって 君のそばにいるよ
雲が星を隠しても
暗闇を照らす月に僕がなろう
君のすべて守りたい
心のかたちは目には見えない
それぞれの日々 さまざまな夢
運命の糸に引き寄せられ
生きて来た意味を知った
深く冷たい夜の河を
手を取り合って渡って行こう
泣かないで僕はここにいる
約束の夜を越えて
迎えに行く僕の胸に
永遠という愛が生まれた
夜明けに向かって 星は流れて行く
輝く朝陽に向かい
暗闇を照らす月に僕がなろう
君のすべて守りたい
飾り立てた言葉よりも
その涙に心動いた
どんな時だって 君のそばにいるよ
荒れた嵐の海でも
けして沈まない舟に僕はなろう
君のすべて守りたい
夜明けに向かって 星は流れて行く
輝く朝陽に向かい
暗闇を照らす月に僕がなろう
君のすべて守りたい
それは一つの物語り
数え切れない星空の下
偶然という出逢いの奇跡
あの日から僕は変わった
かけがえのない愛のために
君のすべてを守りたい
The lyrics to THE ALFEE's song "100億のLove Story" tell a story of a fated encounter that has transformed everything for the singer. The song begins by describing it as a single story happening beneath an infinite starry sky, an encounter brought about by chance, a miracle. Since that day, everything has changed for the singer. As they watch a crowd of people heading home, the sunset reflects a deep red, symbolizing the overwhelming sadness of their pasts that everyone carries in their hearts. However, the singer no longer feels lost because they have found the light of love, which they will keep burning in their heart. They promise to be by their loved one's side no matter the circumstances, even if clouds hide the stars or the darkness is only illuminated by the moon. They want to protect everything about their loved one and embrace the various dreams that have shaped their individual lives, as fate has brought them together.
The lyrics highlight the importance of their connection, their shared experiences, and the discovery of the meaning of their existence. They suggest crossing the deep, cold river of a dark night together, holding hands and supporting one another. No matter how much they cry, the singer vows to be there, going beyond promises made in the night. The singer's heart contains eternal love, and as they head towards dawn, the stars flow by, symbolizing the passage of time. They aspire to become the moon that lights up the darkness and are determined to protect everything about their loved one. The lyrics emphasize that the impact of their loved one's tears surpasses any embellished words, demonstrating the singer's deep emotional connection. They promise to be by their loved one's side, even in the midst of a stormy sea, becoming an unsinkable boat. They want to protect everything about their loved one, heading towards the radiant morning sun. The song concludes by echoing the opening lines, emphasizing how the encounter has changed the singer and their desire to protect their loved one because of the irreplaceable love they share.
