I LOVE YOU Meaning & Lyrics (Hiroya Ozaki)
The songwriter compares the lovers to abandoned cats seeking refuge in an empty box. A standout line, ‘we bring what little kindness we have together,’ highlights their determination to protect their fragile bond. The creaking bed and the sound of a sad song frame their intimate struggle.
I love youI love you.
Ima dake wa kanashii uta kikitakunai yoJust for now, I don’t want to hear any sad songs.
I love youI love you.
Nogare nogare tadoritsuita kono heyaRunning and escaping, we’ve finally reached this room,
Nanimokamo yurusareta koi janai karabecause our love isn’t something that the world accepts.
Futari wa marude suteneko mitaiThe two of us are just like abandoned cats,
Kono heya wa ochiba ni umoretaand this room is like an empty box,
Akibako mitaiburied under fallen leaves.
Dakara omae wa koneko no you na nakigoe deThat’s why you’re crying out with a voice like a kitten’s.
Kishimu bed no ue deOn top of this creaking bed,
Yasashisa o mochiyoriwe bring what little kindness we have together,
Kitsuku mukuro dakishime aebaholding each other’s fragile bodies tight.
Sorekara mata futari wa me o tojiru yoThen, we’ll close our eyes once more,
Kanashii uta niso that our love doesn’t fade away,
Ai ga shirakete shimawanu you niinto the sound of a sad song.
I love youI love you.
Wakasugiru futari no ai ni waIn a love shared by two people so young,
Furerarenu himitsu ga aruthere are secrets that no one can touch.
I love youI love you.
Ima no kurashi no naka de wa tadoritsukenaiWithin our current lives, we can’t reach the place we want,
Hitotsu ni kasanari ikite yuku koi oas we’re just two people who get hurt dreaming,
Yumemite kizutsuku dake no futari da yoof a love where we can live as one.
Nando mo aishiteru tte kiku omae waYou ask me over and over if I love you,
Kono ai nashi de wa ikite saesaying that without this love,
Yukenai toyou can’t even go on living.
Kishimu bed no ue deOn top of this creaking bed,
Yasashisa o mochiyoriwe bring what little kindness we have together,
Kitsuku mukuro dakishime aebaholding each other’s fragile bodies tight.
Sorekara mata futari wa me o tojiru yoThen, we’ll close our eyes once more,
Kanashii uta niso that our love doesn’t fade away,
Ai ga shirakete shimawanu you niinto the sound of a sad song.
Sorekara mata futari wa me o tojiru yoThen, we’ll close our eyes once more,
Kanashii uta niso that our love doesn’t fade away,
Ai ga shirakete shimawanu you niinto the sound of a sad song.
