さすらい
小林旭 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

夜がまた来る 思い出つれて
おれを泣かせに 足音もなく
なにをいまさら つらくはないが
旅の灯りが 遠く遠くうるむよ

知らぬ他国を 流れながれて
過ぎてゆくのさ 夜風のように
恋に生きたら 楽しかろうが
どうせ死ぬまで ひとりひとりぼっちさ

あとをふりむきゃ こころ細いよ
それでなくとも 遥かな旅路




いつになったら この淋しさが
消える日があろ 今日も今日も旅ゆく

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 小林旭's song さすらい depict a traveler who is wandering alone, with the memories of past experiences accompanying him. As he walks, the night falls again, and he is left to cry without making any noise, with his footsteps lost in the distance. He accepts that life may be hard, but the light, which represents his journey, shimmers distantly in the dark.


The singer then talks about the unknown foreign lands he has been passing through without any control, like the night wind that is blowing by. He reflects on how life could be fun with love, but it remains lonely regardless since everyone has to die alone. He concludes by being hesitant to look back, as his heart is fragile, and his journey is still long. He yearns for the day when his loneliness will be gone, but for now, today and every day, he must keep moving.


Overall, the song speaks to the experience of a person who is traveling through life's journey, both literally and metaphorically. It conveys the emotions of loneliness, acceptance of hardship, and the longing for a better tomorrow.

いかつい風貌からは想像できない哀愁を帯びた深みのある低音、力強いがどこか優しい高音、素朴で懸命な唄い方、全て心にしみるね! 『熱き心に』、『さすらい』、『惜別の歌』など小林旭は年齢を重ねると共にだんだん良くなっている感じだね。
