Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
目に映る景色も 少しずつ変わるよ
陽気にはしゃいでた 幼い日は遠く
気がつけば五十路を 越えた私がいる
信じられない速さで 時は過ぎ去ると 知ってしまったら
どんな小さなことも 覚えていたいと 心が言ったよ
I say it's fun to be 20
And they say it's lovely to be 40
But I feel it's nice to be 50
満開の桜や 色づく山の紅葉を
この先いったい何度 見ることになるだろう
ひとつひとつ 人生の扉を開けては 感じるその重さ
ひとりひとり 愛する人たちのために 生きてゆきたいよ
I say it's fine to be 60
You say it's alright to be 70
And they say still good to be 80
But I'll maybe live over 90
君のデニムの青が 褪せてゆくほど 味わい増すように
長い旅路の果てに 輝く何かが 誰にでもあるさ
I say it's sad to get weak
You say it's hard to get older
And they say that life has no meaning
But I still believe it's worth living
But I still believe it's worth living
The song "人生の扉" (Jinsei no Tobira) by ジェリー藤尾 (Jerry Fujio) is a reflection on life and aging. The lyrics express the passing of time and the changes in one's perception of life as they get older. The first verse talks about the changing seasons and how the scenery changes as time passes. The singer has reached a point in their life where they have come to realize that time moves quickly, and they want to remember everything, no matter how small. The chorus reflects how different people have different opinions on the best decade of life, but for the singer, being 50 is nice because of the accumulated experiences and wisdom.
The second verse talks about the uncertainty of the future and how one must live for themselves and their loved ones. Opening the door of life one by one means that they feel the weight of each decision and experience, making each door opening a significant moment. The chorus then continues, reflecting on how different people view the aging process. The bridge brings the song full circle, as it reflects on the beauty found in aging, just like the faded denim, the more worn it becomes, the more beautiful it appears.
Overall, "人生の扉" reminds listeners to cherish life regardless of their age and to find beauty in every phase of life.
