川の流れのように
コリー・オリヴェロス Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
細く長いこの道
振り返れば 遥か遠く
故郷が見える
でこぼこ道や 曲がりくねった道
地図さえない それもまた人生
ああ川の流れのように ゆるやかに
ああ川の流れのように とめどなく
空が黄昏に 染まるだけ
生きることは 旅すること
終わりのない この道
愛する人 そばに連れて
夢探しながら
雨に降られて ぬかるんだ道でも
いつかはまた 晴れる日が来るから
ああ川の流れのように おだやかに
この身をまかせていたい
ああ川の流れのように 移りゆく
季節 雪どけを待ちながら
ああ川の流れのように おだやかに
この身をまかせていたい
ああ川の流れのように いつまでも
青いせせらぎを 聞きながら
The lyrics of 川の流れのように by コリー・オリヴェロス speaks about the journey of life that we all have to embark upon. It is a realization that life is a never-ending journey on an uncertain and winding path that we keep traversing through. The first stanza speaks about how we often walk without realizing where we are headed, only to look back and see how far we have come. The second stanza then emphasizes that there are no maps that can guide us, but it is the ups and downs of life that form a part of this beautiful journey. The chorus "ああ川の流れのように ゆるやかに いくつも 時代は過ぎて” compares life to the flowing river that moves at its own pace, through different times and seasons, but always moving forward.
The lyrics then talk about how life is an endless journey that we have to undertake, but it is crucial to have loved ones by our side. They help us weather the tough times and make the journey worthwhile. The third stanza captures how the journey can be arduous, with muddy and slippery paths, but we must keep going, and the sun will shine again. The final chorus reiterates the desire to keep moving forward, like the unending flow of the river, listening to the mellifluous sound of the stream.
Overall, the song is a reminder that life is about the journey, not the destination. It's a journey where we keep moving forward, facing new challenges, experiencing different seasons, and meeting new people. But, we need to keep going, enjoy the moments, and cherish the people who walk with us.
