Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
恋しいあなた あなた 今何処に
風にゆれ 雨に濡れて
恋は今も今も燃えているのに ああ...
白いほほえみも うしろすがたも
遠い夢の中 あなたはいない
あなたに逢える 逢える その日まで
鳥は飛び 鳥は帰る
それはいつもいつも花の咲く頃 ああ...
白いほほえみも うしろすがたも
遠い夢の中 あなたはいない
These lyrics are from the song Ryosyuu by the Japanese artist 吉幾三 (Kikuzaki Ichiro), which translates to "Wandering Tide.” The song is a bittersweet reflection on lost love and the longing for the return of a former lover. The song opens with the singer expressing how far she has traveled in search of her loved one, but now she wonders where they are. The repetition of "あなた (anata)" conveys the longing and desperation of the singer to find their loved one, whom they miss so much.
The second verse talks about how the love between the singer and their partner is still alive and burning, but the person is not in the present. The singer remembers the past: the smiles and the back stance of their loved one, but now they only exist in a distant dream. The last verse describes how the singer cannot see stars in her night sky because her loved one is not there, and she can only hope to meet them again someday.
Overall, the song Ryosyuu has a nostalgic and melancholic tone, describing how the singer's memories and longing for their former partner persist.
