Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

聞こえますか僕の声が君の事をそっと想う季節が続く

それは決して悲しい物じゃなく強くて優しい
こんなこんな遠い場所から歌ってるよ

君のことが忘れられない僕は大人になって子供になってく
いつかどこかで出逢える日など来ない方がいいよ
きっとあの日みたい恋してしまう

黄金色に光るススキの海
見つめていたあのときの君の横顔

それははかない時の中で見えた永遠の様さ
こんな僕に教えてくれたあの気持ちを

君のことを忘れないよ僕はいろんな人と出会ってくけど
いつかどこかで思い出の中笑う君がいるよ
ずっと変わらないよ僕の心に

そして僕は果てしないこの旅を続ける
思い出たちを優しい歌に変えて

君のことが忘れられない僕は大人になって子供になってく
いつかどこかで出逢える日など来ない方がいいよ
まだ君のことを忘れないよ僕はいろんな人と出会ってくけど

いつかどこかで思い出の中笑う君がいるよ
ずっと変わらないよ僕の心に

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Until" by 上原れな express the strong feelings of love and nostalgia towards someone who is no longer in the singer's life. The singer's voice can be heard softly thinking about this person throughout the seasons, but the continuation of these thoughts is not sad but rather strong and gentle. The singer is singing from a faraway place, emphasizing the distance between them and the person they love.

The song refers to a memory of the person being watched by the singer while they were looking at a golden sea of pampas grass. The moment was fleeting, but it appeared to the singer as though it was eternal. This memory taught the singer a valuable lesson that they'll hold onto forever.

Despite meeting many different people throughout life, the singer cannot forget the person they love. They are content having memories of them smiling in their heart, and they do not need to see them again because they fear rekindling their former love. Through this song, the singer wants us to know that they will continue their endless journey, taking all their memories and turning them into gentle songs.
