However
Takeshi Tsuruno Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
今二人ゆっくりと步き出す
幾千の出會い別れ全て
この地球(ほし)で生まれて
すれ違うだけの人もいたね
わかり合えないままに
慣れない街の屆かぬ夢に
暗闇を驅けぬける勇氣を
くれたのはあなたでした
絕え間なく注ぐ愛の名を
永遠と呼ぶ事ができたなら
言葉では伝える事が
どうしてもできなかった
愛しさの意味を知る
あなたを幸せにしたい…
胸に宿る未來圖を
悲しみの淚に濡らさぬ樣
紡ぎ合い生きてる
愛の始まりに心戶惑い
背を向けた夏の午後
今思えば賴りなく搖れてた
若すぎた日々の罪
それでもどんなに離れていても
あなたを感じてるよ
今度戾ったら一緒に暮らそう
やっぱり二人がいいね いつも
孤獨を背負う人々の群れにたたずんでいた
心寄せる場所を探してた
『出會うのが遲すぎたね』と
泣き出した夜もある
二人の遠まわりさえ 一片の人生
傷つけたあなたに 今告げよう
誰よりも 愛してると…
絕え間なく注ぐ愛の名を
永遠と呼ぶ事ができたなら
言葉では伝える事が
どうしてもできなかった
優しさの意味を知る
戀した日の胸騷ぎを
何氣ない週末を
幼さの殘るその聲を
氣の強いまなざしを
あなたを彩る全てを抱きしめて
ゆっくりと步き出す
やわらかな風が吹く この場所で
The lyrics to Takeshi Tsuruno's song "HOWEVER" speak of an enduring love that has stood the test of time and distance. The opening lines describe a serene scene of two people slowly walking together, feeling the soft breeze blowing around them. The song then reflects on the countless meetings and partings that have taken place on this earth, with some people passing by each other without ever really understanding one another. However, the singer emphasizes the importance of having someone who gives them the courage to face the uncertainties and challenges of life.
The chorus speaks of the difficulty in expressing the depth of one's feelings through words, and how love can be an eternal, never-ending source of inspiration. The singer expresses a desire to make their loved one happy and to never let their future dreams be dampened by sadness. The song talks about how the two of them have had their share of heartaches and made mistakes, but despite that, their love has endured. They have both been searching for a place where their hearts could feel at home, and now, walking hand in hand, they have finally found it. The closing lines describe the beauty of the surrounding scenery and the feeling of being wrapped up in one's loved one's embrace.
