渚便り
柏原芳恵 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

涙色した貝は
私の心
あなたの指から

こぼれ落ちた波のしずく
サヨナラは砂の色
私の手をはなれ
キラキラキラと

光の中で輝いているわ

風に吹かれて渚にいれば
みんなきれいに見えてくる
悲しいはずの思い出も
やさしい出来事に見えてくる

風とたわむれながら
カモメが一羽
波から波のしぶきを
越えてひくく飛んでゆく
サヨナラの物語
やさし歌に変えて
甘い調べをささやきながら
漂ってゆくわ

風に吹かれて渚にいれば
みんなきれいに見えてくる
悲しいはずの思い出も
やさしい出来事に見えてくる

風に吹かれて渚にいれば
みんなきれいに見えてくる
悲しいはずの思い出も
やさしい出来事に見えてくる

やさしい出来事に見えてくる

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 柏原芳恵's song 渚便り express the beauty in finding solace in nature, and how the wind and sea can heal even the deepest wounds within the singer's heart. The beginning of the song compares the singer's tears to a seashell, which falls from her hand and into the ocean. The color of her tears are absorbed by the shell as she says goodbye, and when she is gone, the shell glimmers in the light. This represents the beauty of transformation and how even though goodbyes can be painful, something beautiful can arise from them.

The second half of the song focuses on how the singer finds peace by the sea, and how even sad memories take on a gentler tone when viewed in the light of the ocean. She observes how the seagulls play and ride the waves, and how even their flight is a dance with the wind. This brings her comfort and transforms her sorrow into something new, as she whispers a sweet melody into the wind, letting it carry her away.

Overall, 渚便り is a song about finding peace in nature and through letting go. The sea and wind represent change and the passage of time, something that we cannot control but we can embrace, finding beauty in the midst of the pain.
