秋風のロンド
榊原郁恵 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

潮騒の音がかすかに聞こえてる
思い出の貝殻みつめ
会いに行きたい今すぐにでも
走り疲れたら歩いてついてゆく
追いつくことが無理ならば
必ず行くわ少し後から
ふりむくことも知らずにいたの
こんなに素晴らしい人に

めぐりめぐるロンド
ようやく気づいたの
胸にこみあげるわ
あなたの言葉は
優しいメロディ......Ah－
めぐりめぐるロンド
道に迷ったけど
素直に出逢えそう
熱いときめきで
始まる季節......Autumn

海が見える部屋引き潮みつめてる
日よけに弱い陽射し受け
風は夕凪頬に優しい
ゆり椅子にもたれ
あてない手紙書き
知らないうちに眠っていた
夢で泣いてた目覚めて泣いた
交わす言葉も無造作だった
どれほど傷つけたでしょう
めぐりめぐるロンド
わがまゝな私を
どんな時も笑う
あなたの瞳は海にも似てる......Ah
めぐりめぐるロンド
遠まわりしたけど

何もかも言えそう
あなたは私の大切なひと......Autumn

Overall Meaning

In the song "秋風のロンド" by 榊原郁恵, the singer is listening to the sound of the waves and looking at shells, reminiscing about memories of someone they want to see right away. They mention that if they get tired from running, they will walk to catch up. If they cannot catch up, they will definitely follow later. The singer then reflects on how they had not realized how wonderful this person was and how they cycle through a rondo of meeting and parting. Finally, they mention their intense desire and season of excitement to begin.

The second verse describes the scene of looking at the receding tide from a room overlooking the sea. The sun's rays, hitting weakly through a sunshade, with the evening breeze being gentle on the cheeks. The singer leans on a rocking chair, writing a letter without an address, and falls asleep without realizing it. They dreamt and cried in their sleep and woke up crying too. The conversation between them and the other person was casual and meaningless, and the singer wonders how much they must have hurt them.
