Song for You
Vo Vo Tau Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

瞬きで迷いから覚めて
ふっと街にでかけたくなった
何げなく頬にあたる風
耳元でそっと囁く
変わり行く速さになんて
無理に自分急がせなくていい
言葉が解けて行くなら
瞳で分かり合えばいい

逃げ出す度に遠くなる
捜し続けた答えに
この歌を届けたい
あなたのもとへ…
溢れ出す涙こらえて
羽ばたくその強さ
誰よりも信じて欲しい
自分の心を願うよ
This is song for you
華やいだ隙間を見つけて
居心地のいい場所をさがして
寂しげな夕暮れの空も
毎日少しちがってる
辛さは涙より弱く
涙は強さに変わる
うまく泳げる為なら
溺れる事を覚えてみて
又うしろついてくる
sharpな影が背中を押す
この歌を届けたい
あなたのもとへ…
傷ついた羽を広げて
戸惑いぬぎすてて
永遠に信じて欲しい
自分の心を
果てしなく広がる大空に
羽ばたくその強さ
誰よりも信じて欲しい

自分の心を祈るよ
This is song for you

瞬きで迷いから覚めて
Waking up from indecision with a blink of an eye

ふっと街にでかけたくなった
Suddenly feeling like going out into the city

何げなく頬にあたる風
Wind blowing casually against my cheeks

耳元でそっと囁く
Whispering softly in my ear

変わり行く速さになんて
No need to rush to keep up with the changing speed

無理に自分急がせなくていい
It's okay not to force myself to hurry

言葉が解けて行くなら
If words become obsolete

瞳で分かり合えばいい
It's enough to understand each other through our eyes

逃げ出す度に遠くなる
Every time I run away, I become more distant

捜し続けた答えに
For the answer we kept searching for
