Sentence from song 小さな恋の歌


I'm not sure if I translate this passage from the song right:

ほら、あなたにとって、大事な人ほどすぐ側にいるの。

I'm not sure which perspective we're talking about. Is the other person right
by my side because I'm important to him/her? Is the の at the end a nominalizer
or as an explanation?

ただ、あなたにだけ、届いて欲しい響け恋の歌。

I assume this means that I want the song to reach just him/her. However, why
is there the ただ? Is it a conjunction to the previous sentence and if yes why?

Also, what is the form of 響け here - the imperative? If yes, how does that fit
into the sentence?




The first sentence means "The more important people are for you, the closer
they are to you". This の indicates emotional emphasis, which is mainly used by
female. ただ～だけ means "just only". I think this 響け is close to hope than the
imperative and 響け恋の歌 is inversion.
