BIRTHDAY Lyrics Meaning Maki | My favorite things
Maki sings about waking up in the night, counting the days she hopes to laugh with a loved one. The lyricist mentions stars, blue skies, and shadows resting close together to emphasize the fleeting beauty of life. The line, ‘Because we’re all going to die one day, I’ll cherish everything right in front of me,’ sums up the song’s warmth and urgency.
Kimi no koe ga kikoeta me o samashita boku wa yoru no nakaI heard your voice, and woke up in the dead of night.
Yubiori kazoete ita itsu made kimi to waraiaeru kaI was counting on my fingers, wondering how long we can keep laughing together.
Kitto shinde shimau kara saBecause we’re all going to die one day,
Me no mae no subete o aisu darouI’ll cherish everything right in front of me.
Zutto soba ni iraretara naI wish I could stay by your side forever.
Kimi no soba ni iraretara naIf only I could just stay right here with you.
Ohayou kono sekai wa aokute utsukushiku mieru kedo“Good morning.” This world may look so blue and beautiful,
Hito ga motsu akui toka mienai hodo no fukai aosabut it’s a blue so deep that it hides the malice people carry inside.
Dakedo te o nobasu kimi ni todoku you niEven so, I reach out my hand, hoping it reaches you.
Boku ga doko made mo iketara ii no niI wish I could go anywhere just to be with you.
Kitto shinde shimau kara sa me no mae no subete o aisu darouBecause we’re all going to die one day, I’ll cherish everything right in front of me.
Zutto soba ni iraretara na kimi no soba ni iraretara naI wish I could stay by your side forever, if only I could just stay right here with you.
Meguru kisetsu irozuku machi yaThrough the changing seasons and the colorful streets,
Kagayaku hoshi ya aoi sora o mi ni ikoulet’s go look at the shining stars and the bright blue sky.
Kitto shinde shimau kara saBecause we’re all going to die one day,
Itsu demo omoidaseru you niI want to make sure we can always remember this.
Kitto shinde shimau kara sa bokutachi no subete o nokosu darouBecause we’re all going to die one day, we’ll leave behind everything that we are.
Zutto yorisou kage da toka kimi no soba de utau koe gaLike our shadows resting close together, or the sound of my voice singing by your side,
