北国行きで
朱里エイコ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

つぎの北国行きが来たら乗るの
スーツケースをひとつ下げて乗るの
アー何もあなたは知らないの
この町と別れるの
明日あなたにお別れの
手紙が届くわ きっと
いつも別れましょうと言ったけれど
そうよ今度だけはほんとのことなの

つぎの北国行きで消えてゆくの
二人愛した街を去ってゆくの
アー愛に疲れた二人なら
このままで身を引くの
にくみ合わないその前に
私は消えてゆくの
いつも別れましょうと言ったけれど
そうよ今度だけはほんとのことなの

アー電話かけてもベルだけが
空き部屋にひびくだけ
明日私のいないこと
その時に気づくでしょう




いつも別れましょうと言ったけれど
そうよ今度だけは ほんとのことなの

Overall Meaning

The song "北国行きで" by 朱里エイコ is a melancholic ballad about saying goodbye to someone and moving on to a new place. The lyrics convey a sense of resignation and acceptance of the inevitable separation that comes with leaving someone behind. The singer is preparing to go on a trip to the north, and even though the person she's leaving behind is aware of it, the singer still feels like there's so much that the other person doesn't know about her feelings and the reasons for her departure.


The first verse starts with the singer expressing her intention to go on the next trip to the north, and she imagines herself dragging a suitcase and walking away from the town she's in. She wonders if the person she's leaving behind knows everything about her plans and feelings, or if there are things that the other person is unaware of. She mentions that a letter of farewell will be delivered to the other person the next day, and even though she's used to saying goodbye, this time it's different and more heartfelt.


In the second verse, the singer imagines herself and the other person leaving the city they once loved and moving on. She questions if they're both tired of their love for each other, and if they should just walk away before their differences become too much to bear. She decides to disappear before they have a chance to argue or hurt each other, and again mentions that this time, the goodbye is real and meaningful.


Overall, the lyrics of the song evoke a deep sense of longing, sadness, and regret. The singer is ready to let go of the past and move on, but she can't help feeling the pain of leaving someone she once loved behind.
