船出
大貫妙子 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

船出していく 小さな舟よ
たったひとりで 漕ぎ行く人よ
せめて わたしは 歌を歌おう
荷物にならぬ 力を君に

波の白さに 消え行く舟よ
海の蒼さに 溶け行く舟よ
いつも聞こえる 歌をあげよう
星無き夜も あたりを照らそう

舟と舟 出会ったら どこへ行こう
地図のないこの海を行こう

You are a little boat
Your little boat
君はどこまでも行ける
You are a little boat
Your little boat
君はどこまでも行ける

波に輝く 沖行く舟よ
遥かな時を越え行く人よ
そして わたしは 歌を歌おう
明日へと向かう 希望を胸に

舟と舟 出会ったら どこへ行こう
地図のないこの海を行こう

You are a little boat
Your little boat
君はどこまでも行ける
You are a little boat




Your little boat
君はどこまでも行ける

Overall Meaning

The song "船出" by 大貫妙子 is an uplifting and inspiring song that encourages listeners to go on a journey, despite the hardships that may be faced. The lyrics describe a small boat and an individual in it, who is rowing alone. The singer presents herself as an observer, urging the individual to sing a song that would give them strength and not be a burden to carry. The boat sets out to sea, disappearing into the whiteness of the waves, and the singer continues to encourage the individual in the boat to sing, so that even on the nights when the stars are absent, their voice would light up the darkness.


The singer also speaks of meeting other boats and not knowing where they'll end up, but encourages the individual to explore the unknown waters, and anything is possible without a map. The singer uses the imagery of a boat and the sea as a metaphor for life and the journey of exploring the unknown. The song concludes with the idea of hope for tomorrow, and the individual moving forward with the hope in their heart to overcome any obstacles.


Overall, the song is inspiring and encouraging for listeners to keep pushing forward, even in times of uncertainty, hardship or loneliness. It highlights the importance of self-reliance and the power of music in giving people strength to move forward.
