時には昔の話を
加藤登紀子 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
通いなれた なじみのあの店
マロニエの並木が窓辺に見えてた
コーヒーを一杯で一日
見えない明日を むやみにさがして
誰もが希望をたくした
ゆれていた時代の熱い風に吹かれて
体中で瞬間(とき)を感じたそうだね
道端で眠ったこともあったね
どこにも行けない みんなで
お金はなくても なんとか生きてた
貧しさが明日を運んだ
小さな下宿屋にいく人もおしかけ
朝まで騒いで眠った
嵐のように毎日が燃えていた
息がきれるまで走った そうだね
一枚残った写真をごらんよ
ひげづらの男は君だね
どこにいるのか今ではわからない
友達もいく人かいるけど
あの日のすべてが空しいものだと
それは誰にも言えない
今でも同じように
見果てぬ夢を描いて
走りつづけているよね どこかで

I can‘t understand Japanese, but I can feel this song. It’s like when I am old, most of my friends have gone, and I am sitting in a pub drinking a whiskey, looking at the pictures hanging on the wall about my friends and me when we were young.

@sleepydog9968
the title is "toki ni wa mukashi no hanashi wo", or just "toki ni wa" for short.
it was composed by "joe hisaishi" (famous for his music in studio ghibli films) for the movie "porco rosso".
this video wasnt made by this channel, they're just reuploading. glad you like the music though. maybe you should watch the movie sometime, or listen to more "joe hisaishi" music
@MK-mk6px
this title means "sometimes let's talk about old days"
