Wind Tune
THE ALFEE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

話したいことがある
君だけでもいい本当の僕のすべて
わかって欲しい

君が思うほど僕はつよくない
風が泣いている夜は
淋しさに震えている Cry in the wind

特別な夜だから君に甘えたい
ワインを開け心酔わせて
二人の夜を抱きしめて

Happy Birthday, Dear Only Love
君が生まれたこの日に
風の調べにのせて
愛が生まれそうさ My Wind Tune

愛した女もいたよ素敵な恋だった
でも臆病な心が
未来をためらった When I was young

時は流れ知らぬまに
遠くへ来たけど
もう迷いはしないさこの愛を君に贈ろう

Never gonna say Good-bye
君を想い出にしたくない
素直な気持ちで愛を語り合いたい

―傷つけあって憎しみあって
ひとはやさしさに気がつく―

Happy Birthday, Dear Only Love
新しい愛が生まれる

Happy Birthday, Dear Only Love
キャンドルに愛を灯して
Never gonna say Good-bye
誓うよこの夜に

Happy Birthday, Dear Only Love
君が生まれたこの日に
風の調べにのせて

愛が生まれそうさ My Wind Tune
Happy Birthday, Dear... My Wind Tune...
