Song for You
supporting-me Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
早足で人が過ぎる
待ち合わせした場所へと
胸をときめかせて
あの頃のふたりならば
目と目が会えば通じた
夢見る頃を過ぎて
別々のドアを開けた
主役なしのパーティーで
今あなたに
二度と言わない
Is still love you, my heart
あなたへのキャンドルを
燈すことはないけれど
この日だけは
きっといつも思い出すわ
Baby, happy birthday to you
to you...
You're so far away
ふたりで暮らした部屋に
ダイヤルまわしてみたの
冷たいテープの声が
何度もくりかえすだけ...
Happy birthday, Love for you
時が過ぎて
あの道をふり返れば
優しさだけが見えてくるのよ
あなたへのメッセージ
そえるものはないけれど
この日だけは
胸の奥で思うでしょう
Baby, happy birthday to you
to you...
You're so far away
Happy birthday, Love for you
街はクリスマス どこにいても
きっといちばん大事な季節
あなたへのキャンドルを
燈すことはないけれど
この日だけは
胸の奥で思うでしょう
Baby, happy birthday to you
to you...
You're so far away
These lyrics tell the story of a person who is reminiscing about someone they used to be in a relationship with. The song paints a picture of a rainy city where people are rushing by, setting the scene for the nostalgia and longing that is to come. The singer mentions a meeting place where the two used to go, and how their hearts would flutter whenever their eyes would meet. However, time has passed, and they have gone their separate ways, each opening different doors in life.
The chorus, "Happy birthday, Love for you," reveals that it is the birthday of the person the singer is singing about. They mention that it will be a party without them, but they still hold them dear in their heart. The sentiment of still loving them is expressed, although the singer notes that they won't light a candle for them or have any grand gestures. Nevertheless, they will always remember this day and hold it close to their heart.
In the second verse, the singer dials the number of the apartment they used to live in together. However, all they receive is the cold voice of a voicemail that repeats over and over. This emphasizes the distance and separation between the two individuals, as well as the lack of communication and connection they now share.
The bridge of the song brings in the theme of Christmas, with the city being decorated for the holiday season. The singer acknowledges that no matter where they are, this time of year is still the most important and cherished season. They mention once again that they won't light a candle for them, but on this day, they will still think of them deep in their heart.
Overall, these lyrics convey a sense of longing, nostalgia, and bittersweet emotions that come with remembering a past love, especially on a special occasion like a birthday. The song portrays the distance and separation between the two individuals, yet highlights the enduring love and emotional connection that remains.
