Save me

• By: 西内まりや

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

心でただ動いてく My heart beat

My heart just moves along

私にそっと話しかけるように

Like it’s softly whispering to me

何かを忘れ まだ今も彷徨っている

Forgetting something, still wandering now

誰かがいつか気付いてくれるその日まで I cry...

Until that day someone notices, I cry...

ありふれた言葉も

Simple words can’t express it

寂しさに溢れて Save me Save me

Overflowing with loneliness, Save me, Save me

闇に隠れた愛も

Love hidden in the darkness

忘れさられたイタミも Save me Save me

Pain that’s been forgotten, Save me, Save me

心の音がやけに大きくて

The sound in my heart is unusually loud

独りきりで今からは Where do I go?

Now, all alone, where do I go?

何かを求め 確かなもの探している

Seeking something real, searching for certainty

誰かのために涙流せるその日まで I cry...

Until that day I can shed tears for someone, I cry...

ありふれた感情も

Everyday emotions too

切なさに溢れて Save me Save me

Overflow with sadness, Save me, Save me

言葉じゃないモノで

Not with words, but with something deeper

胸の中埋め合いたい Save me Save me

Wanting to fill the space inside my heart, Save me, Save me

So please tell me how to love

So please tell me how to love

本当の愛は 何処にあるんだろう

Where could true love be found?

We all know that there is love

We all know that there is love

神様がくれた My life

Given to me by God, my life

たった一つのAngel heart

My one and only Angel heart

ありふれた言葉も

Everyday words too
