The Blue Heart's 1987 song 「リンダリンダ」 is available translated all over the
internet, but the most common translations seem contentious to me when it
comes to the following verse:

> もしも僕がいつか君と出会い話し合うなら
>
> そんな時はどうか愛の意味を知って下さい

The second line of this verse often gets translated as ["Please teach me the
meaning of
love"](http://www.animelyrics.com/jpop/thebluehearts/rindarinda.htm), but I
can't really find any examples of 知る used to mean teach/explain anywhere.

Should this line actually be translated as "Please know the meaning of love"
or something similar? Or is "Please teach me the meaning of love" correct in
this case?

What does 「～知ってください」 mean in The Blue Hearts' song リンダリンダ?
I bet that is a mistranslation and you are right. By no means 知ってください can mean
anything like "teach me". ~~I think.~~
