Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
まどやかに そして強くかけて行くんだ
目かくしされた 馬車馬の
親たちをあわれみながら
追い越して行くんだ
雨が降り時が流れて
忘れ物をせぬうちに
まどやかに そして強くかけて行くんだ
同じ旅路に あきもせぬ
親たちをあわれみながら
追い越して行くんだ
雨が降り時が流れて
忘れ物をせぬうちに
The lyrics of 小椋佳's song 雨が降り時が流れて describe the journey of young horses and migratory birds as they embark on their respective paths with strength and determination. The opening verse portrays the young horses, galloping across the highlands and overtaking their parents' carriage, which they feel sorry for. The second verse outlines the migratory birds that have just been born this year, urging them to move swiftly on their journey along with their parents, who they won't be able to catch up with once they fall behind. Both verses share a common theme of moving forward while being empathetic towards those who came before them.
The chorus reflects on the relentlessness of time, which flows like the rain, and urges us to not forget anything important while we still have the chance. It's a reminder that as we move forward, time does not wait for anyone, and that we need to make the most of every moment we have.
Overall, the song is a beautiful reflection on the passage of time and the need for us to move forward with strength and compassion. It's a contemplation on life's journey and the importance of empathy towards others as we navigate our own paths.
