流れの旅路
津村謙 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
名残り惜しむか あの娘の馬車は
遥かあの丘 あの山越えて
行くかはるばる 流れの旅路
旅の一座の 名もない花形(スター)
ビラの写真の さみしい顔よ
遥かあの町 あの村過ぎて
紅いマフラーは 見るのも辛い
別れ惜しんだ あの娘がいとし
遥かあの空 あの星見ては
行くかはるばる 流れの旅路
The lyrics of 津村謙's song 流れの旅路 paint a picture of a journey, both physical and emotional. The singer reflects on a lost love, symbolized by the red scarf they shake until they can no longer see the carriage of the girl they once loved. As they travel further, they encounter nameless stars of the traveling troupe, the lonely faces in their promotional posters that are plastered across town. The journey continues over hills and mountains, and the singer looks up at the vast sky, perhaps searching for some solace or hope.
The theme of the song seems to be about the passage of time and the bittersweet memories of love lost. The singer has moved on physically, but emotionally, they are still on the "flowing journey" of their past. The red scarf serves as a poignant metaphor for holding onto memories, and the contrast between the vibrant color and the sadness it represents reinforces the sense of melancholy in the song. The traveling troupe represents the transience of life, friendships, and relationships.

私は六十代ですが、両親が聴いていました。懐かしいです。今は東京大衆歌謡楽団のボーカル、高島孝太郎さんの歌唱で聴いています。
