LOVE 2000 Lyrics English Translation by Anna Yanami (Cv: Hikaru Tono)
HITOMI writes about self-discovery and the search for genuine love. A key line, ‘I only want to find what’s real,’ highlights the rejection of superficiality. The lyrics mix everyday struggles with a hopeful outlook on love and personal growth.
Ai wa doko kara yatte kuru no deshouWhere does love come from?
Jibun no mune ni toikaketaI asked my own heart.
Nisemono nanka kyoumi wa nai noI’m not interested in fakes.
Honto dake o mitsumetaiI just want to look for what’s real.
Kanashii news to dou demo ii hanashiSad news and pointless chatter,
Asa kara mou sonna no unzari deI’m already tired of it all this morning.
Kyou wa itsumo yori mo kaze ga kimochi ii kara neThe breeze feels better than usual today,
Tanoshisa ni kigaete neso I’ll change into a better mood.
Kizukenakatta kitto amaeteta no kanaI didn’t realize it, maybe I was just being spoiled.
Dakara jibun aishite hito o aishite mitai noThat’s why I want to try loving myself and then loving others.
Yume wa itsudemo fukuramu bakari deMy dreams were always just expanding,
誰かの思いを無視してたand I ignored what someone else was feeling.
Kitto itsuka wakatteru no kanaI wonder if I’ll ever truly understand.
Tebanashita fuusen tondettaThe balloon I let go of just flew away.
Saba yonde mitatte ano koro ni modore ya shinai shiEven if I try to cheat my way back, I can’t return to those days,
Dakara ima o mitomete itai noso I want to accept the present for what it is.
Totemo taisetsu na koto mo misugoshichatta to shitemoEven if I’ve overlooked something really important,
Mata mitsukereba iiI can just find it again.
Itsumo itteta ne maa dou ni ka naru tteYou always used to say, ‘Oh well, it’ll work out somehow’,
Dakedo rikimakase ja dou ni mo naranai koto mo arubut some things just can’t be solved by forcing them.
Ai wa doko kara yatte kuru no deshouWhere does love come from?
Jibun no mune ni toikaketaI asked my own heart.
Sukoshi zutsu dakedo ironna koto gaLittle by little, so many things,
Kawatte watashi wa koko ni aruhave changed, and now here I am.
Konna hazu janakatta tonda otogibanashiThis isn’t how it was supposed to be, what a ridiculous fairytale.
Nazonazo mitai na aisuru koto no imi waThe meaning of love is like a riddle.
Unmei dake janakute sentimental demo nakuteIt’s not just destiny, and it’s not about being sentimental,
Tsuyoku mienai mono kanaI guess it’s a kind of strength that you can’t see.
Ai wa doko kara yatte kuru no deshouWhere does love come from?
Jibun no mune ni toikaketaI asked my own heart.
Tabete minakucha wakaranai kotoIt’s something you won’t know until you taste it,
Deai no inryoku wa dore hodo kajust how strong the gravity of an encounter can be.
Ai wa doko kara yatte kuru no deshouWhere does love come from?
Jibun no mune ni toikaketaI asked my own heart.
Nisemono nanka kyoumi wa nai waI have no interest in fakes.
Honmono dake mitsuketaiI only want to find what’s real.
Anata o zutto sagashitetaI’ve been searching for you all this time.
