しぐれ川
山川豊 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ふたりこぎ出す 情け舟
抜いた指輪を 川面(かわも)に投げて
これでわたしは あなたのものと
すがるおまえを 離しはしない
着のみ着のまま ほつれ髪(げ)に
明日の夢さえ 見えないけれど
こころ通(かよ)わす ぬくもりあれば
生きて行(ゆ)けるとほほえむおまえ
にごり川でも いつの日か
陽光(ひかり)きらめく 海に出る
死ぬも生きるも ふたりと決めた
恋のさだめが 指さすままに
ゆれて流れる あゝしぐれ川
The song "Shiguregawa" by Yutaka Yamakawa tells the story of a couple who take a boat out onto the Shigure River (Shiguregawa) in defiance of the spring. The woman throws her ring into the river and declares that she will not let go of the man who clings to her. She has let go of her old life and is now his. Despite the uncertainty of what may come in the future, they will face it together. The woman is depicted with her hair down, messy and disheveled but still beautiful, holding onto hope in the warmth and comfort of their love.
The lyrics are a romantic expression of the beauty of life, even in moments of uncertainty and struggle. The imagery of the river, flowers, and sunshine evoke feelings of hope and joy, even in the face of life's inevitable challenges. It is a testament to the power of love to give us the strength to face whatever comes our way.
