小さな恋のうた

MONGOL800 J-pop Japanese

Vocabulary from MONGOL800: 'Chiisana Koi no Uta (小さな恋のうた)' (2001).

広い宇宙の数ある一つ 青い地球の広い世界で

小さな恋の思いは届く 小さな島のあなたのもとへ

あなたと出会い 時は流れる 思いを込めた手紙もふえる

いつしか二人互いに響く 時に激しく 時に切なく

響くは遠く 遥か彼方へ やさしい歌は世界を変える

ほら あなたにとって大事な人ほど すぐそばにいるの

ただ あなたにだけ届いて欲しい 響け恋の歌

あなたは気づく 二人は歩く暗い道でも 日々照らす月

握りしめた手 離すことなく 思いは強く 永遠誓う

永遠の淵 きっと僕は言う 思い変わらず同じ言葉を

それでも足りず 涙にかわり 喜びになり

言葉にできず ただ抱きしめる

夢ならば覚めないで 夢ならば覚めないで

あなたと過ごした時 永遠の星となる

ほら あなたにとって大事な人ほど すぐそばにいるの

ただ あなたにだけ届いて欲しい 響け恋の歌
