THE ALFEE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
遠く離れるほど 君を忘れられず
胸に残るのは Faith of Love
凍える大地に ひとり旅立つ
星座をたよりに 夢は支えに
涙涸れるほど 痛みに震えていた君
孤独な夜に耐えきれず
哀しみの重さを知る
静かな星に 祈りを込める
あらぶる魂よ 戦いは終わった
唇かみしめ Faith of Love
男の誇りなど 些細なものさ
君に甘え過ぎ すべてをなくした
愛に傷ついて 悪戯に時を持て余し
嵐が過ぎ去る朝に
やさしさの意味を知る
さらば恋人よ Faith of Love
風になりたい...
届けその胸に Faith of Love
さらば恋人よ Faith of Love
The song "Faith of Love" by THE ALFEE is a ballad about love, loss, and moving on. The first verse tells of a person who cannot forget their loved one no matter how far away they are. The cold wind that blows through their heart represents the emptiness they feel without their lover. Despite the separation, the only thing that remains in their heart is the faith of love. The second verse describes a journey taken by the singer to escape their pain. They rely on the stars to guide them and hold onto their dreams. The tears and pain they experienced were so intense that they could not bear to spend another night alone. The singer comes to the realization that the weight of sadness is too much to bear, leading to the conclusion that they are saying goodbye to their lover, but not to the love they shared. The chorus is a farewell message to the lover, and the singer hopes that the love they shared will find a way to endure.
The second verse talks about the loss of everything, including the male protagonist's pride, after a heartbreak. The singer acknowledges that they relied too heavily on their lover and lost themselves along the way. The pain and hurt from their love allowed them time to reflect and come to understand the meaning of kindness. The singer wishes to become one with the wind, indicating a desire to be free and move forward from the past.
