Shape of love (lyrics)

Shape of love

I wonder what shape and what color love has
I'm sure things wouldn't be so difficult but much easier
if love was something we could see and touch

*
Even so, I'll continue the cycle of loving someone and getting hurt
because I believe in the end it will give meaning to my tears someday

Or maybe it's good love has no shape or color
because that's probably why it's so precious
and why we crave more of it

**
The mere phrase 'I love you' holds the power
to make everything alright and to make me get through anything

*
**


Japanese lyrics
Spoiler:
愛ってどんな形でどんな色しているかな
もしもそうして見えたり触れたりできるものなら

きっとこんな複雑じゃなく もっと楽なのにね

それでもねまた人を愛して 傷ついてって繰り返すよ
涙はいつの日にか最後に 意味を持たせてくれるからと

それとも愛は形や色がないから良いのかな

きっとだから尊いのかな もっと求めるのかな

愛しているのひと言だけで 何もかもが大丈夫で
どんな事でも乗り越えられる そんな魔法の力があるよ

それでもねまた人を愛して 傷ついてって繰り返すよ
涙はいつの日にか最後に 意味を持たせてくれるからと

愛しているのひと言だけで 何もかもが大丈夫で
どんな事でも乗り越えられる そんな魔法の力があるよ


romaji
Spoiler:
ai tte donna katachi de donna iro shite iru ka na
moshimo soushite mietari furetari dekiru mono nara

kitto konna fukuzatsu ja naku motto raku na no ni ne

soredemo ne mata hito wo aishite kizutsuite tte kurikaesu yo
namida wa itsu no hi ni ka saigo ni imi wo motasete kureru kara to

soretomo ai wa katachi ya iro ga nai kara ii no ka na

kitto dakara toutoi no ka na motto motomeru no ka na

aishite iru no hitokoto dake de nanimo kamo ga daijoubu de
donna koto demo norikoerareru sonna mahou no chikara ga aru yo

soredemo ne mata hito wo aishite kizutsuite tte kurikaesu yo
namida wa itsu no hi ni ka saigo ni imi wo motasete kureru kara to

aishite iru no hitokoto dake de nanimo kamo ga daijoubu de
donna koto demo norikoerareru sonna mahou no chikara ga aru yo

I love those lyrics! And the song damn, one of my fav from the mini
I see you probably made a typo when you wrote "I'm sure things wouldn't so difficult but much easier", you meant "I'm sure things wouldn't BE so difficult but much easier", right?

Thank you for your quick translation which made me love the song more

They are pretty generic, but I think it's more reflective of how much the "love" theme has been centerfold in Ayu's life for several years now. It's something everyone knows but no one really talks objectively about. And I like it. It's just an inquisitive song wondering if love is as overwhelming as it is because we can't see or hear or touch or see it, only experience it.

I love the way her vocals sound in this song. Much deeper; I miss that.

The song is very dramatic, a true rolling ballad, and I like that about it. It sounds heavy, and I could see this being released around the NEXT LEVEL / Rock'n'Roll Circus era.

I know this ballad is going to work its way up to being one of my top favorite ayu ballads. I loved it without even knowing the meaning of the lyrics, and love it even more now reading the translation. They're gorgeous. Thanks for the translation.

I think the lyrics is not generic at all..

I love her interpretation about Shape of love...the chorus part maybe generic but the verse part is original and creative...
