まだ見ぬ恋人
加山雄三 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

夕暮れの浜辺を
貝殻踏みながら
淋しさにただひとりさまよう
君はどこにいるのか
まだ見ぬ恋人よ
君と逢うその日まで僕は行く
夢に見るあまいくちづけよ
僕を呼ぶ優しい声

君はどこにいるのか
まだ見ぬ恋人よ
たとえ地の果てまでも
僕は行く

夢に見るとこしえの誓い
幸せは僕が守る
君はどこにいるのか
まだ見ぬ恋人よ

たとえ海の底でも
僕は行く

The above lyrics are from the song "まだ見ぬ恋人" by Yuzo Kayama. The song opens with a picture of a lonely beach at dusk where Yuzo is walking alone while stepping on seashells. He is lost in the feeling of loneliness, questioning the whereabouts of his lover who he has not met yet. He is waiting for the day they will meet and embrace with a sweet kiss. Yuzo is haunted by the voice of his lover which calls him towards her, and he is determined to follow it regardless of the distance or place she is in, even if it is at the end of the earth or at the bottom of the sea. The song is an expression of the power of love over distance, place, and time that urges Yuzo to keep moving forward to find his beloved.
