Jpop Recommend #103 Love Story by Namie Amuro

Love Story

安室 奈美恵 Namie Amuro


Released in December 2011, this song is her 38th single.   Debuted in 1992 as a member of "Super Monkey's", she soon became solo in 1995.  Since then she remains on stage as one of the top Jpop female singers.   She is popular for her dance music, but I like her ballad, too.  This is my most favorite Amuro Namie song.

昔           から  love story
Mukashi kara love story
Since l was little, 
苦手      なの   知ってた  でしょう
Nigate nano shitteta desho
you know that I don't like the love story
恋   に 身   を  焦がす Heroine
Koi ni mi wo kogasu heroine
in which a heroine is consumed with love

果てしなく        続く         Girl talk
Hateshinaku tsuzuku "girl talk"
A endless girl talk
他愛  なく     繰り返される   gossip
Taai-naku kurikaesareru gossip
The same old carefree gossips
いつも    抜け出したかった
Itsumo nukedashitakatta
I always wanted to get out from them 

Now I'm grown 欲しい   もの   は   手に  した     けど
Now I'm grown   hoshii mono wa te ni shita kedo
Now, I'm grown and I've got everything I wanted, but
代わり  に  I know  あなた が  くれる
Kawari ni I know  anata ga kureru
instead, I know that 
永遠  の  笑顔  も   手  に できない
eien no egao mo te ni dekinai
I won't be able to get what you offer, everlasting smile

Baby  誰     より  も  きっと  愛して  いる けど
Baby, dare yori mo kitto aishite iru  kedo
Baby, I know that I love you more than anybody, but
選んだ   この    道      を  歩いてく   から
eranda kono michi wo aruiteku kara
I will keep walking the road I chose
生まれ   変わっても   愛し    続ける       けど
umare kawattemo aishi-tsuzukeru kedo
I know that I will love you even in the after life, but
一緒   に は   いられない もう
issho ni wa irarenai    mou
We can't stay together anymore

Cuz that's our love story


その   腕    の  中    で    眠りたい    子供      みたい に
Sono ude no naka de nemuritai kodomo mitai  ni
In your arms, I wish I could sleep like a child
ふと   願う   日  が  ない わけ  じゃない
futo negau hi ga nai wake jyanai
It’s not true to say that I sometimes feel that way  
そう いえば 涙         さえ もう    どの   くらい  流して      ない
sou ieba  namida sae mou dono kurai nagashite nai
Come to think of it, I don't remember the last time I cried
でも     今   さら   変われない You know that
demo ima sara kawarenai you know that
But it's too late to change now and you know that
I grow  欲しい    もの   は 手  に  した   けど
I grow   hoshii mono wa te ni shita kedo
I grew and I've got everything I wanted, but
代わり   に I know  あなた が くれた
kawari ni I know  anata ga kureta
instead, I know that 
優しさ         と  笑顔   も   手放してた
yasashisa to egao mo tebanashiteta
I let go of the warmth and smiles you gave me

Baby  誰      を  見つめても         誰    と  過ごしても
Baby, dare wo mitsumetemo dare to sugoshitemo
Baby, even if I fix my eyes on anyone or spend time with anyone
忘れられる      日  など   来る はず  ない
wasurerareru hi nado kuru hazu nai
I'm sure the day won't come when I can forget you
この     胸     の   中     で  愛し    続ける       けど
Kono mune no naka de aishi-tsuzukeru kedo
I will keep loving you in my heart, but
一緒   に は   いられない  もう
Issho ni wa irarenai    mou
We can't stay together anymore
Cuz that's our love story


やがて    すれ違う      と  知って いても
Yagate surechigau to shitte itemo
Even though I knew that we will be parted in the end
出会えた こと   この    奇跡    感謝      してる
deaeta  koto kono kiseki kansha shiteru
I thank this miracle of having met you
かけがえない  日々  も  後悔     も    痛み   も
kakegaenai  hibi mo koukai mo itami mo
Those precious days, my regrets and pains
悲しみ         さえ 輝かせ           Yesterday
kanashimi sae kagayakase yesterday
Even my sorrow shine in my heart  Yesterday

Baby  誰     より  も  きっと  愛して  いる けど
Baby, dare yori mo kitto aishite iru  kedo
Baby, I know that I love you more than anybody, but
選んだ   この    道      を  歩いてく   から
