Promise
koda kumi 倖田 來未 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

初めて 目が合ったその日から
毎日 一緒に過ごしていたね
暖かい腕の中いつも
あなたの寝顔 見つめ髪をなでて
微笑みあった日々が今でも
忘れられずいるんだ痛む心
見えない背中いつまででも
追いかけてまた
ふと我にかえってしまう
So I make a promise
あなたの存在大きかったと
今になってやっと気付いた
二度と果たされない約束
いつまでも
この胸に しまったままで
You don't say, say good bye
もう何も 語ることも出来ない
言い訳も 愛もすべて 何もかも
信じていたの あの言葉を
永遠に待ち続けること
知らされないまま
And I make a promise
鳴らないcall期待をしても
同じと 本当は 分かっているのに
最後に心から愛した
あなたへと
この想い 届かぬままで
You don't say, say good bye
胸に込み上げ 溢れる涙
止めることももう 出来ない私
いつまでも続く現実が
儚い夢になるとは
'Cause I make a promise
これからずっと側で笑って
幸せになる そう誓ったのに
今でも残る 思い出たち
これからも




この胸にしまったままで
I'll never wanna be alone

This is one of my favorite songs ❤ Love you Koda Kumi

Hanna84

(Making love with you, boy
That would take me to another place that I've never been
Boy, you were going to meet love so good
Every time you touched me,
I could feel your love so strong, and we would never end...)

Since that day our eyes first met,
We spent every day together
In your warm arms, I always
Gazed at your sleeping face, and stroked your hair

Even now, my injured heart won't forget
The days we smiled together
I can't see you, but if I chase after you
You'll suddenly return back to me
So I make a promise

Now I've finally noticed
How important your existence was to me
I can never again fulfill my promise
It's put away in my heart forever
You don't say, say goodbye

I can't tell you about anything anymore
About my excuses, my love, everything, everything
I believed those words
Without ever being told what I was waiting forever for
And I make a promise

Even if I wait for a call, there's no ring
Truly, I understand it's the same, and yet
I loved you with all my heart in the end
These feelings won't ever reach you
You don't say, say goodbye

My overflowing tears fill up my heart
I can't stop them any more
This unending reality
Becomes a transient dream
Cause I make a promise

Yes, you swore you'd be by my side, laughing
Forever, and make me happy, yet...
My memories remain even now
I'll put them away in my heart forever
I'll never wanna be alone
