純愛の砂
大津美子 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

愛のなぎさを さすらいの
旅は悲しい 我が運命(さだめ)
さらさらと さらさらと
指より逃げる 砂に似て
はかなき故に なおさらに

風にさらされ 波に揺れ
泣けば涙で また濡れる
さらさらと さらさらと
崩れて消える 砂の搭
いつの日届く あの夢に

燃える乙女の 祈りこめ
一人積みましょ いつまでも
さらさらと さらさらと




せめても歌え 愛の砂
虚(うつ)ろな小さい この胸に

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song 純愛の砂 by 大津美子. The song talks about the sadness and transience of life, using the metaphor of sand slipping through fingers to describe the ephemeral nature of love. The singer describes their journey as a wanderer searching for love, but realizing that their destiny is sadness. The sand, which is always slipping away, makes their existence even more fleeting and impermanent. The sand is like the love that they seek, fragile and fleeting.


The singer also talks about the hardships of life, expressed through the imagery of being buffeted by the wind and waves, and constantly wet with tears. As the sand disintegrates and disappears, so too do their hopes and dreams. The singer concludes by speaking of the flames of a young girl's prayers, which they hope will sustain them through their journey. They sing of their desire to keep singing of love, even though their heart is small and empty.


Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the bittersweet nature of love and the impermanence of life. The metaphor of sand serves to underscore the fragility and transience of these experiences.

いい歌です。ただ録音が古いので少し音が悪く、
聞きなれた大津さんのと違うように思うかもしれません。

大津美子さんの唄は、この歌みたいにメロディラインのきれいな歌が好きですね。
ただ、若いころのは、と但し書きが付きますけど。
