たそがれに別れを
堺正章 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

散歩のふりしてこの町を出よう
うすむらさきの夕暮れを
覚えておくよ愛のかたみに
さよならさよなら細い指のひと
いつか季節がめぐり行き
いつかぼくらはああまた出逢う
その日のために消えて行く
人ごみにまぎれて

駅への小径でふり返るぼくの
気のせいかしらあの窓に
小さな影が泣いてるみたい
さよならさよなら白い指のひと
いつか季節がめぐり行き
いつかぼくらはああまた出逢う

その日のために歩き出す
唇をかんで

The lyrics to Sakai Masato's "Tasogare ni Wakare wo" tell the story of a couple bidding each other farewell during twilight. The singer suggests to take a walk outside of the town to watch the fading purple sunset together and remember their love for each other. As they walk, they become lost within the crowd of people walking towards the station. The singer then takes note of a small figure crying in the window of the station, perhaps their lover. They continue walking and reflect on how someday, they will meet again for the sake of that day, and then start biting their lips.
