First love (romanji and english lyrics)

Utada Hikaru Lyrics

"First Love" by Utada Hikaru is a poignant song that delves into the bittersweet menories of a past love. The lyrics, both in Romanji and their English translation, express a deep sense of nostalgia and longing for a love that has passed but remains unforgettable. In the Romanji lyrics, phrases like "saigo no kisu wa" (the last kiss) and "tabako no flavor ga sh*ta" (tasted like tobacco) srt a melancholic tone, illustrating the lingering sensory memories of the relationship. The song reflects on the inevitable passage of time and the questions that come with it, wondering about the current state and feelings of a former lover. The English translation captures the essence of these emotions beautifully, conveying the lasting impact of first love on one's heart. It talks about the difficulty of moving on and the hope that the love shared holds a special place in both their hearts, despite the passage of time. Utada Hikaru's "First Love" is more than just a song; it's a heartfelt narrative about enduring love and the lessons learned from it. The song's message resonates with anyone who has experienced the depth of a first love, highlighting how such a love, though it may end, forever shapes one's capacity for affection.

First love (romanji and english lyrics) by Utada Hikaru

romanji lyrics:

saigo no kisu wa
tabako no flavor ga sh*ta
nigakute setsunai kaori

ash*ta no imagoro ni wa
anata wa doko ni iru n' darou
dare wo omotte 'ru n' darou

you are always gonna be my love
itsu ka dare ka to mata koi ni ochite mo
i'll remember to love
you taught me how
you are always gonna be the one
ima wa mada kanashii love song
atarashii uta utaeru made

tachidomaru jikan ga
ugoki-dasou to sh*te 'ru
wasuretaku nai koto bakari

ash*ta no imagoro ni wa
watashi wa kitto naite 'ru
anata wo omotte 'ru n' darou

you will always be inside my heart
itsu mo anata dake no basho ga aru kara
i hope that i have a place in your heart too
now and forever you are still the one
ima wa mada kanashii love song
atarashii uta utaeru made

you are always gonna be my love
itsuka dare ka to mata koi ni ochitemo
i'll remember to love
you taught me how
you are always gonna be the one
ima wa mada kanashii love song
now and forever..

english translation:

the last kiss
tasted like tobacco
a bitter and sad smell

tomorrow, at this time
where will you be?
who will you be thinking about?

you are always gonna be my love
even if i fall in love with someone once again
i'll remember to hold on
you taught me how
you are always gonna be the one
it's still a sad song
until i can sing a new song

the paused time is
about to start moving
there's many things that i don't want to forget about

tomorrow, at this time
i will probably be crying
i will probably be thinking about you

you will always be inside my heart
you will always have your own place
i hope that i have a place in your heart too
now and forever you are still the one
it's still a sad song
until i can sing a new song

you are always gonna be my love
even if i fall in love with someone once again
i'll remember to hold on
you taught me how
you are always gonna be the one
it's still a sad song
now and forever...
