少年の羽
新居昭乃 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
君の夢がほら
青い空のかなたへ
すいこまれるよ
君が知らなくても
風が知っている
光る雲のはての
いつか行く場所を
未来からの贈りもの
それは静かな願い
とおい とおい 物語
だけど かならず叶う
君が今
そこにいるかぎり
少し無口になって
見上げる太陽
君の目には
見えない星が輝く
君が知らなくても
風が知っている
どんな悪いことも
きっと終わるから
まだ小さな その羽
でも信じて
飛べること
胸に抱いた願い
そっと そっと
充ちて行く
そして いつかは叶う
前を見て
歩いてくかぎり
The lyrics to 新居昭乃's song 少年の羽 are about chasing your dreams and believing in yourself, even if others may not understand or support you at first. The opening lines describe the dream as a feather that gradually floats away into the endless blue sky. Even if the person may not know where they're headed, the wind does. The end goal is an ambitious place, and the gift that the future holds is in the person's small hands. The feather symbolizes that although the dream may seem fragile and small, it is still strong enough to take flight and make a significant impact on the person's life. The distant stories that we hear may be taboo or too far-fetched, but they will become a reality someday as long as we keep going and don't give up. The song encourages us to embrace our dreams and believe in ourselves, even if we may stumble and fall along the way.
The second verse emphasizes the importance of perseverance, believing that the bad things in life will pass and that the wind will always know where to go. Even if the person is quiet and keeps their dreams to themselves, they should continue living and looking forward to the endless possibilities. The feather is now growing, and the person is even more confident in themselves and their abilities. They know that their wish will come true one day and that they just need to keep moving forward.
Overall, the song encourages strength, perseverance, self-belief, and ambition. The lyrics suggest that dreams are important because they can shape our lives and help us find happiness and fulfillment, and it's essential to keep chasing them no matter what challenges we may face.

透き通る羽のような 君の夢がほら
青い空の彼方へ 吸い込まれるよう
君が知らなくても 風が知っている
光る雲の果ての いつか行く場所を
まだ小さなその手に 未来からの贈り物
それは静かな願い 遠い遠い物語
だけど必ず叶う 君が今そこにいる限り
少し無口になって 見上げる太陽
君の目には見えない 星が輝く
君が知らなくても 風が知っている
どんな悪いことも きっと終わるから
まだ小さなその羽 でも信じて 飛べること
胸に抱いた願い そっとそっと満ちてゆく
そしていつかは叶う 前を見て歩いてく限り

Here for the fist half (that's all I got, and I actually re-translated it from a French translation) :
Look, your dream transparent as a wing
is absorbed in the vastness of the sky.
Even if you don't know it, the wind knows
The place were we go,
The one at the edge of the brilliant clouds.
Your hand which is still small
sends me as a gift from the future.
It's a silent prayer,
a faraway tale,
but which will certainly come true.
As long as you will be
by my side.
