In this post, we will extract some Kanjis from the song そばかす by Judy and Mary. Check the Japanese lyrics and the translation.
息 (breath - respiracion): ため息 tameIKI (sigh - suspiro)
Upper part means oneself 自 and lower part is heart 心. Imagine yourself putting your hands on your own heart and breathing a sigh of relief.
糖 (sugar - azucar): 角砂糖 kakuzaTō (cube sugar - terron de azucar)
Left part is rice. Right part has a cliff, a mouth and something that looks like a brush. Imagine that you are a small caries inside a mouth of somebody eating rice. Since you are small, teeth look like a cliff. And what is your favourite food? sugar!!
溶 (melt - derretirse): 溶ける TOkeru
The left part is water and the right part means to contain 容. Imagine an ice-cream wrapper that contains only water because it already melted!! Other similar kanjis are to bathe 浴 and valley 谷.
胸 (breast - pecho): 胸 MUNE
The left part means month but also part of the body. For instance, brain is 脳 which is quite similar. The difference is that the breast is like a brain but very well wrapped!!
汚 (dirty - sucio): 汚れる YOGOreru (get dirty - ensuciarse)
Left part is water. The right part looks like a bow and an arrow. Imagine a very dirty river with dead bodys with arrows. Would you have a bath in that dirty river?
抱 (hug - abrazar): 抱く DAku
Left part is hand and right part is to wrap 包. If you wrapp somebody with your hands, you are hugging him!!
涙 (tear - lagrima): 涙 NAMIDA
Left part is water and right part is door 扉 and big (person opening his arms). Imagine that a son comes back home for Christmas. His mother is waiting for him in the door, with her arms wide open and tears in her eyes.
