Fukuyama Masaharu の Heart

Nagareboshi (Shooting Star)
(Music / Lyrics: Fukuyama Masaharu)

Things like tears, I must hide them away
Since I have decided to live on by myself
Please do not give me such gentle words
This will make me truly fall in love with you

I would not be asking for
More kindness …
Like flower petals floating down quietly
They are easy to forget

Like when we see a shooting star
I’ve made my wish three times
I must be dreaming again

This is not my first love
This is not my first kiss
But it makes me feel like crying

I seem a bit drunk
Should I go home? Let’s drink a bit more

I’m no good at making others laugh
I wouldn’t be the type you like, right?
Please don’t stroke my head so playfully
That would make me even more reserved

I would not be expecting
More answers …
Like humming a song casually (from someone unknown)
It will never last

Like when we see a shooting star
I’ve made my wish three times
I must be dreaming again

This is not my first love
This is not my first kiss
But it makes me feel like crying

The night has ended
I can go home by myself

Things like tears, I must hide them away
Since I have decided to live on by myself
Please do not give me such gentle words
This will make me truly fall in love with you

Masha had said that this song was written from a woman’s perspective. He didn’t know why, but he already had this feeling when he was writing the melody. The lady in the song would probably be in her thirties or forties and the scene is in a pub, the song is going through her mind as the two of them are having a drink.
