Ken o kazashite inazuma atsumetara
My heart kodoku ga hikaru
Nani o mesasebaii
Dare o aishitaraii my love
Kotae wa doko sa?
Dare mo ga toui tabibito sa kono machi de wa
Mayoigo ni naru ashita mo
Arukitsuzukerusa...

Todokanai yume arashi ni mau hanabira
Kaze ni naru yo ame ni naru yo itsushika...
Kokoro wa samurai munashisa daku yoroi o
Nugisuteyou yuuki dake no suhada de

Biru no sukima no tsuki o aogu toki
My sweet hitomi wa rubii
Akaku moeru agareba
Sukitouru yo mirai ga my love
Deai wa itsusa?
Dare mo ga toui tabibitosa hisoka na yume
Kiseki sae okoseru yo to
Tadayoi tsuzukeru...

Kokoro wa samurai munashisa daku yoroi o
Nugisuteyou yuuki dake no suhada de

Ai... fushigi sa
Kokoro no ken yasashisa da yo
Ronrii haato
Itsuka dokoka de afure ochiru namida o
Fukimosezu ni nagashitai to omou yo

Kokoro wa samurai munashisa daku yoroi o
Nugisuteyou yuuki dake no suhada de

Todokanai yume arashi ni mau hanabira
Kaze ni naru yo ame ni naru yo itsushika...




Kokoro wa samurai munashisa daku yoroi o
Nugisuteyou yuuki dake no suhada de

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Samurai Heart" by 森口博子 speak about a samurai's heart and the internal conflict it carries. The song starts with the samurai asking what he should aim for and who he should love, as he wanders through a town where he feels like a lost traveler. He mentions how even tomorrow he'll become a lost child and keep walking. In the chorus, the samurai refers to his dreams which can't seem to take flight as if they were being blown away by a storm, and his heart which he says is like an armor that carries loneliness. He decides to take off that armor and arm himself only with courage and determination.


The second verse is about his sweethearts' ruby eyes and how they shine brighter when they talk about the future they both envision together. The samurai once again mentions how everyone is like a distant traveler and has their own hidden dreams, and that even miracles can arise from those hidden desires. He concludes the verse with the desire to find his way in the world and keep going.


The final chorus repeats the first one, and the bridge "Ai... fushigi sa" is about the samurai wondering about the mystery of love and how it connects to the samurai's heart. He talks about the logical heart and how sometimes tears flow uncontrollably despite trying to keep them in.


Overall, "Samurai Heart" describes the samurai's journey towards finding himself and his place in the world, letting go of his emotional baggage and embracing courage and determination.

サムライトルーパーをyoutubeで見れる日がくるとはねー。

森口博子さんを知ったのがトルーパーで、主題歌歌っている人がテレビ出てる時は衝撃だったなぁ。

でも、当時森口さんはどちらかといえばバラドルみたいな立ち位置であまり歌声聞けなかったのが残念でした。

本当に歌が上手だし、サムライハートは今でも名曲だと思ってる。

サムライトルーパーもサムライハートも今でも好きだー🙌

最高の歌姫なんだよね

@user-cv3mf5cf9n

まさか令和になって新たにトルーパーを堪能出来る機会が訪れるとはあの頃は夢にも思わなんだ…
再放送を是非♪

@SexyRyo1

What? Your comment makes no sense. You never dreamed back then that you would have a chance to be Reiwa? Who the hell is that? And what "new Trooper"?

@user-cv3mf5cf9n

@@SexyRyo1 ???そんなに変なこと言ってます?トルーパーという作品として新たにメディア展開されたの、かなーり久しぶりなことなんですが…少なくとも令和になってからは初めてですよね…?
トルーパーが流行ってた時は正直数十年経ってまた森口さん本人がカバーした曲、しかもジャケットはみずき健さんなんて夢コラボしてくれるなんて思ってなかったんですよ…!
