Umi no Koe
桐谷健太 Lyrics

The lyrics of 桐谷健太's song 海の声 express the feeling of longing for someone's presence, even if they are not physically present. The singer yearns to hear the voices that remind him of the person he seeks. He listens to the wind, the sea, the river, and the mountain, dreaming of the possibility of hearing the voice of his lover amidst these natural sounds. The more he longs for the voice, the stronger his desire to see the person.

The lyrics also contain a sense of hopelessness due to the inability to meet this person. The singer feels that his desire to meet them is immense and growing steadily. He remembers their laughter, which he describes as "コロコロした" (korokoro shita) - round and rolling, indicating that it is something that he cherishes joyfully. He sings in the hope that his voice will reach his lover, and the sea will carry it to them.

The final verse of the song expresses the singer's deep, unchanging affection for the person he loves. He vows to keep singing for them, no matter how old he gets or how much time passes. He implores the voices of nature to carry his voice to his love, expressing his unending determination to keep their memory alive.
