憶い出のアカシア
コロッケ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
うしろ姿は 空似の人か
アカシア舞い散る 北の街
寄り添い歩いた 幸せは
風が散らした 花のよう
今も恋しい 愛を抱きしめる
ひとり旅する はかなさつらさ
アカシア憶い出 時計台
夢見たあの日の 鐘が鳴る
運命(さだめ)短い 花のよう
涙ぐんでた 君が目に浮かぶ
噂だけでも 聞かせてほしい
逢いに行きたい 逢わせてほしい
アカシア二人の 札幌は
面影いとしく 残る街
雨にうたれた 花のよう
寒いこころの 夜はせつなくて
In the song 憶い出のアカシア, the singer expresses their longing for a past love that they had to part ways with. The first stanza talks about seeing someone from the past whom they cannot meet again. This could be interpreted as the singer seeing someone who looks like their past love, but who is now out of reach. The mention of the acacia flowers brings a feeling of nostalgia, and the lyrics suggest that the singers once walked together in happiness, but now that happiness has faded away like the acacia flowers blown away by the wind.
The second stanza talks about the singer taking a solo journey, possibly reminiscing about the past love. The scent of acacia flowers brings a gentle feeling to their heart, and they remember the clock tower in Sapporo, where they saw the bells ring on the day they dreamed of a future together. However, the harsh reality is that their fate was like that of a short-lived acacia flower. Ultimately, it is the memories of the past love that continue to bring tears to their eyes.
Overall, 憶い出のアカシア portrays a gentle and wistful portrayal of a past love, showing how the memories of a time gone by can still hold a special place in the heart.
