あなたは風よ私の胸の
白いつぼみを綺麗に咲かせて
あなたの腕に翔び立つ愛は
青い飛行船

改札口で手を振る
あなたが瞳に灼きつく
心のシャッター切った瞬間

好きと叫びたかったのに

きっと戻って来るわね
問いかければ「たぶんね」
あやふやすぎる遠い約束
今も信じてるのは何故?

あなたは風よ翼があれば
優しい胸に今すぐ飛んでく
夢見ることのはかなさを知る
裸足の妖精

忘れな草が咲いても
忘れないわあなたを
ひとすじの髪本に挟んで
明日あなたに送りたい

あなたは風よ私の胸の
白いつぼみを綺麗に咲かせて
あなたの腕に翔び立つ愛は
青い飛行船

あなたは風よ翼があれば
優しい胸に今すぐ飛んでく

夢見ることのはかなさを知る
裸足の妖精

Overall Meaning

The song "妖精時代" by Ishikawa Hidehumi is a beautiful ballad that talks about the longing and love that the singer has for someone who has left and how that person has become like the wind, untouchable and unreachable. The lyrics are poetic, and the imagery used is magical, with references to fairies and flying through the skies.

The first verse talks about the singer's heart being like a white bud, waiting to bloom, and how the person she loves has the power to make it bloom beautifully like a flower. The second verse describes the moment when the person left, and how the singer wanted to shout out her love but couldn't because of how overwhelming and emotional the moment was.

The chorus talks about how the person has become like the wind, with wings to fly away anytime they please. The singer acknowledges the fleeting nature of dreams and how they can be chased but not held onto. The last verse mentions a book with a strand of hair from the person she loves tucked inside, that she wants to give to him when she sees him again.

Overall, the song is a beautiful tribute to the magic of love and how it can make us feel like fairies flying through the skies, but also the pain that comes with missing someone so deeply.
