Description
Everything here is simple and touching, like a note in the margins of a textbook - the letters are a little crooked, but they come from the heart. Everyday conversations turn into memory bookmarks, rain becomes a reason to run towards each other and get wet together, and fantasies about flying carpets and genies turn into funny attempts to explain: ‘There is no magic, but I will protect you anyway.’ There is no gold, palaces or spells in the song, but there is the most honest luxury - the desire to be close and keep the world from falling apart with your own hands, even if they are bare. The result is a fairy tale without magic, where the miracle is simply ‘I won't let you go’.
Lyrics and translation
Original
くだらないことで笑って。 何気ない会話で泣いて。
一つ一つの出来事にしおりを挟んで。
忘 れないように。 失くさないように。
アラジンのように魔法の絨毯に乗って迎えに行 くよ。 魔法は使えないけど。
お金も ないし力もないし地位も名誉もないけど。
君のこ とを離したくないんだ。
君 が仮にどんな恋を重ねてさ。 どんな人と笑い合ったか。
一人で 考えて勝手にへこんで眠れない夜を過ごしてさ。
仮に雨が降ってびしょ濡れになっても僕が迎えに行くから。
笑っ て泣いて見つめ合って抱きしめ合って愛し合っ て。
ジーニーのように魔法のランプから出て笑わせ るよ。 魔法は使えないけど。
お金も ないし力もないし地位も名誉もないけど。
君のこと を守りたいんだ。
ア ラジンのように魔法の絨毯に乗って迎えに行 くよ。 魔法は使えないけど。
お金もな いし力もないし地位も名誉もないけど。
君のこと を。
ジーニーのように魔法のランプから出 て笑わせるよ。
魔法は使えないけど。
お金もないし力もない し地位も名誉も何もない。
だけど君を守 りたいんだ。
English translation
Laugh at silly things. I cried during a casual conversation.
Include a bookmark for each event.
Don't forget. Don't lose it.
I'll take you on a magic carpet ride like Aladdin. I can't use magic though.
I have no money, no power, no status, no honor.
I don't want to let you go.
What kind of love would you have? What kind of people did you laugh with?
I spent sleepless nights thinking about it all by myself and feeling depressed.
Even if it rains and you get soaked, I'll come pick you up.
We laughed, we cried, we looked at each other, we hugged each other, we loved each other.
Come out of the magic lamp like a genie and make them laugh. I can't use magic though.
I have no money, no power, no status, no honor.
I want to protect you.
I'll take you on a magic carpet ride like Aladdin. I can't use magic though.
I have no money, no power, no status, no honor.
About you.
Come out of the magic lamp like a genie and make us laugh.
I can't use magic though.
There is no money, no power, no status, no honor.
But I want to protect you.
