松島春秋
さとう宗幸 Lyrics

The lyrics of the song 松島春秋 by さとう宗幸 talk about the arrival of spring and the longing for a loved one. The singer eagerly awaits the arrival of spring and goes on a solo journey, trying to forget about the person they miss. They wave goodbye to the sightseeing boat as it sails away and the waves wet the hem of their travel clothes. The island of Fukura is waiting for spring with camellia flowers and snow mantles. The singer then talks about being invited by a dream of Basho, a Japanese poet from the 17th century, to walk on the island. The Islets floating silently in the calm spring sea are endless, and the singer thinks of the birds that were left behind on Ojima seashore, waiting for a loved one. As they turn to the evening bell, they hear the voice of the person they miss in the rustling of the trees. The singer feels alone on this journey, but they retrace the memories of their loved one on the cold island of Sabisawa.
