秦基博 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
僕は 僕は いつまでも 手を振るよ
サリー ミニチュアになった街をあとに
どこか どこか 誰も知らない場所へ行くんだね
新しい友達や風に出会うためだけじゃなくて
ここで生きていくことを
確かめるために 旅に出るの
あなたは鳥になって
渡る 地球儀を見下ろす空
錆びついた鳥カゴを開け放ち
目一杯 羽をひろげて
サリー 誰かが決めた境界線は
いつのまにか かすんで 消えていった
サリー 果てしない地平を前にしても
描き出して 自分だけの 確かな地図を
もし 傷ついたのなら
止まり木で 少しだけ休もう
空が大きく映ったら
それが きっと 旅立ちの合図
いずれは 旅を終えて
帰る いつもの小さな部屋
そして また記してく
ありふれたキセキを
あなたは鳥になって
渡る 地球儀を見下ろす空
今は ただ 飛んでゆけ どこまでも
目一杯 羽をひろげて
ひろげて ひろげて
These lyrics are from the song "Sally" by 秦基博 (Motohiro Hata). The song tells the story of Sally, who disappears into the eastern sky, leaving the singer behind. The singer continues to wave their hand goodbye, even though Sally has become a miniature figure and is leaving the familiar city behind to go to an unknown place.
The lyrics express Sally's desire to not only meet new friends and experience the wind but also to embark on a journey to confirm their existence and purpose in life. Sally wants to open up their rusty birdcage and spread their wings fully, overlooking the globe as a bird, as a symbol of freedom and adventure.
The song explores the idea of boundaries and how they can blur and disappear over time. Sally realizes that the boundaries that someone else set have faded away, and they now stand before an endless horizon. They are determined to create their own map, to draw their own path forward, regardless of the vastness of the world ahead.
If Sally gets hurt along the way, they will rest on a perch for a while. And when they see the vastness of the sky, it will be a sign for their journey to continue. Eventually, Sally will return to their small, familiar room and write about the ordinary miracles they encountered during their travels.
Overall, "Sally" is a song about embracing change, pursuing personal growth, and finding one's own path in life. It encourages listeners to break free from societal boundaries and restrictions, to explore the world with open hearts and spread their wings like a bird.

シュワ子
Sally, to the shadow sucked into the eastern sky
I, I will always wave
Sally, leaving this miniature town behind
You're going somewhere, somewhere where no one knows you
Not only to meet new friends and new winds
You’re going on a journey to make sure I can live here
You're a bird crossing the globe looking down at the sky
You open the rusty birdcage and spread your wings as wide as you can
Sally, someone set the borderline
It faded and disappeared
Sally, even in the face of an endless horizon
Draw out your own map
If you're hurt, take a little rest at the perch
When you see a big reflection in the sky, that's your cue to leave
Eventually, you’ll finish your journey and return home... to your little room
And you’ll write again of the mundane miracles
You're a bird crossing the globe looking down at the sky
Now just fly away, spread your wings as far as you can
