"the next LOVE" lyrics

thanks to tokyoxjapanxfan & tenshi no hane for kanji!!! :D

This is such a cute song, but the lyrics are so cynical... :tired

the next LOVE

Quote:

Lalala.....

Standing in front of Mama's mirror
Has such an extraordinary appeal
That even a childish girl like me
Can become whatever I wanted to be in my dreams

Believing in things I can't see with my eyes, someday, I stopped doing that
Believing only in things I can see with my eyes, have I become an adult?

Mama used to say this to me
"Because you are beautiful,
A prince will come and wake you up
With a kiss someday"

Loving the person I am, when did I last do that?
Coming to hate the person I am, have I become an adult?

That thing which they call love
Just where can I find it?
What does it look like?
How much do I need to pay?
Hey, where did you buy it?

Lalala.....

*Note: In the very last line (Hey, where did you buy it?), ayu uses the word "anata" or "you", though the corresponding kanji she used is "貴女", a term used specifically when the person being spoken to is a woman.

KANJI

wow... just, wow....

Oh my God, I think these are my favorite lyrics on PQ thus far...

This is my favorite lyric from PQ. Thanks

awww thank you for translating!

I think these are so linked with ESM!!!
and there's this material girl who knows NOTHING about love attitude in both.

the last stanza is so shocking, love it!

great lyrics, horrible music

I love the last stanza. Very cynical indeed.

My translation:

Spoiler:

We seem to have very different takes on the 1st stanza ;)

where did u buy it

omg
poor girl :(

these lyrics are so... wow...
too bad it was wasted on jazz music... lol. at least this song was better than eyes smoke magic...

thanks for the translation!

amazing lyrics, amazing music.
thanks for the translation!

eeaaah, cynical Ayu. That's cool, by the way, she's rich enough, so, she can buy anything she wants XD
thanks for the translation, these two songs (+ESM) are the most I liked on PQ.

Wow these lyrics are totally different from what I expected! They're awesome :luv2! I find it strange that Ayu has continues to ask whether she has become an adult now...even after all these years. I suppose she still feels like a child deep down inside. I wonder if that feeling will remain with me for my entire life as well :/...

Best lyrics on PQ, and best song!!!

the song grew on me now that I know the lyrics. Such a sad song:(

Thank you for this translation too! Some of the lyrics on this album are really amazing :love

Wow so heavy with irony. Never thought she'd be able to sing such depressing lines in a song that...swings.

good lord, this is ouch.

This song is definitely GREAT,I love it even more now!

I now will give this song a second chance after reading the beautiful lyrics with such an awful song to sing it to.

It's not an awful song!! As I've said, she needs to practise this kind of style, but it's a good start.

GREAT lyrics! THANK YOU BOTH

Amazing lyrics. Within the best of the album.

this lyric is deep! although i like ESM too, i still prefer ayu writing something like this!

Thank you!! Been waiting for the lyrics. Kinda sad lyric I must say.

she sounds so cynical in this song. sigh I guess a divorce will do that to you.

Wish this had a different arrangement though. :/

thanks for the translation. OMG amazing lycris from Ayuuu!! love the song even more now ^^

wow what a great lyrics. thnx 4 the translation

I really love the lyrics.

The song's not bad - it stood out to me more than some other tracks - but the lyrics definitely help. Thank you.

Love the song even more, its so unusual seeing this dark side of ayu xD
But, after the 1st time listening the next LOVE and ESM, I supposed that the lyrics was very cynical, it has such a strong vibe of it haha

To: tenshi no hane

Have I, a person who started resenting herself, become an adult?

Just a small question. Are you using the word "herself" as actually "myself" here? If so, I think it's all right.

^ Are you asking whether "herself" refers back to Ayumi ("I")? If so, yes it does.

Does this scream "DIVORCE ANTHEM" to anyone else?

I'm so amazed at how much I can relate to these lyrics. Awesome song. :heart

Interesting lyrics..Although I think becoming an adult means starting to love the person we are, not hating

I always liked this song even if I don't listen to it very often.Lyrics are very good indeed.
