湖愁
松島アキラ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

悲しい恋の 亡骸は
そっと流そう 泣かないで
可愛いあの娘よ さようなら
黄昏迫る 湖の
水に浮かべる 木の葉舟
ひとりの旅の 寂しさは
知っていたのさ 始めから
はぐれ小鳩か 白樺の
梢に一羽 ホロホロと
鳴いて涙で 誰を呼ぶ
夕星ひとつ またひとつ
濡れた瞳を 偲ばせる
思い出すまい 嘆くまい
東京は遠い あの峰を
越えて遥かな 空の果て

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 松島アキラ's song 湖愁 present the scene of a heartbreaking farewell. The opening lines describe the remains of a sad love affair that are being gently carried away without shedding any tears. The singer bids farewell to a cute girl against the backdrop of a sunset looming over the lake. The leaf boat floating on the lake is a symbol of the transience of life and love.


The singer reflects on the loneliness of the solitary journey, which seems to have been anticipated from the very beginning. The image of a lost pigeon perched on the top of a birch tree, crying out with tears, reflects the singer's own sense of loss and longing. The falling evening stars remind the singer of the wet eyes and the memories that they evoke, but he resolves not to dwell on them anymore. Instead, he sets his sights on crossing over the distant mountains and reaching the ends of the sky beyond Tokyo.


Overall, the song presents a melancholy reflection on the fleetingness of love and life, as well as the sense of loss and loneliness that comes with it.

当時の歌手は、皆さん音域が広かったですよね😃
音域が半オクターブでも歌手になれるようになった背景には、GS &フォークブームがあったからでしょうか✴️  違うよね....🍀
