Snow globe Meaning & Lyrics (Mosawo)
Mosawo pens lines about a disposable hand warmer and snow globes. The lyrics include, ‘My love piles up like snow across this unreachable distance,’ showing a distant love.
Eki made no gairoju ga kotoshi mo kirameiteThe roadside trees leading to the station are sparkling again this year,
Hidari no poketto de kairo o nigittaand I’ve gripped a ‘disposable hand warmer’ inside my left pocket.
Anata no te mo attakai no ka naI wonder if your hands are warm too?
Koibito ni naretara wakaru no ni neIf we could just become a couple, I’d know for sure.
Kurisumasu o riyuu ni sasoitai kedoI want to use Christmas as an excuse to invite you out, but
Sono hitokoto sura yuuki ga denai yoI can’t even find the courage to say those few words.
OnegaiPlease…
Santa ni negai o takushitatteEven if I leave my wish to Santa,
Kanau hazu mo nai no ni baka neit won’t ever come true, so I’m just being a fool.
Koi ga furitsumoru todokanai kyoriMy love piles up like snow across this unreachable distance,
Sunoo doomu mitai nijust like a snow globe.
Kirei ni wa ikanakuteIt doesn’t work out as beautifully as I’d hoped,
Yuki no kesshou ni omoi o tojikometaso I’ve locked my feelings away inside a snowflake.
Surechigau koibito tachi wa konya mo mabushikuteThe couples passing by me look so dazzling tonight,
Mafuraa ni kuchimoto o kakushite shimauand I end up hiding my face behind my scarf.
Urayamashiku nanka nai no ni naIt’s not like I’m jealous or anything,
Muishiki ni anata o kasanete itabut I’ve been picturing you without even realizing it.
Dareka to waratteru kao ga ukandeYour face laughing with someone else comes to mind,
Uchikakete tojita yonmoji no kotobaand I close the ‘four-character confession’ I’d started to type.
OnegaiPlease…
Santa ni negai o takushitatteEven if I leave my wish to Santa,
Henji ga kuru wake nai no ni neit’s not like an answer will ever come back.
Machi o terashiteru kagerareta jikan waThis limited time that lights up the town
Kyandoru mitai deis just like a candle.
Tameiki de kiesou da neIt feels like it’ll blow out with just a sigh.
Fuyu no yozora ni kiseki o sagashitaI’ve searched for a miracle in the winter night sky.
Seinaru kane ga tooku de natteThe holy bells are ringing in the distance.
Anata to sugoshitai sore dake na no niI just want to spend time with you, that’s all.
OnegaiPlease…
Santa ni negai o takushitatteEven if I leave my wish to Santa,
Kanau hazu mo nai no ni baka neit won’t ever come true, so I’m just being a fool.
Koi ga furitsumoru todokanai kyoriMy love piles up like snow across this unreachable distance,
Sunoo doomu mitai nijust like a snow globe.
Kirei ni wa ikanakuteIt doesn’t work out as beautifully as I’d hoped,
Anata o omou dake no kurisumasuThis is a Christmas where I’ll just be thinking of you.
