Furusato
吉幾三 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
道端の春の花 あの方を想う
夕やけに染まりゆく
ビルの谷間に
ふるさとの山や川 お袋がうかぶ
なつかしさ会いたさに
夜汽車に乗れば
寝ずに窓を見る
昔なら広すぎて 遊んだ道も
昔なら高すぎて 登った丘も
忘れてた道がある いろんな道が
出会う人声かける
これがふるさとさ
ため息と 想い出が心を過ぎる
いいもんさふるさとは
いつもいいもんさ
なつかしさ会いたさに
夜汽車に乗れば
近くなるふるさとに
寝ずに窓を見る
寝ずに窓を見る
The lyrics to 吉幾三's song "Furusato" talks about the nostalgia and longing for one's hometown. The song starts with the description of a person walking alone in the city after the rain, with the sight of the spring flowers on the side of the road causing them to think of someone from their hometown. As the sun sets and the buildings engulf the person in a valley, memories of the mountains and rivers from their hometown, as well as their mother, come to mind. The second verse talks about the journey back to the hometown on a night train, where the person cannot sleep and is constantly looking out of the window. The bridges and hills that used to be too high and too far away in their childhood now seem closer as the train gets nearer to their hometown. They remember the different paths they used to take, meeting familiar people and making meaningful connections. The song ends with the idea that memories and longing for one's hometown will always be a good thing to have.
