Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
遙か彼方は 相馬の空かヨ
ナンダコーラヨート
(ハァ チョーイチョイ)
相馬恋しや 懐かしや
ナンダコーラヨート
(ハァ チョーイチョイ)
当座の花なら なぜこの様に
ナンダコーラヨート
(ハァ チョーイチョイ)
堅い私を 迷わせた
ナンダコーラヨート
(ハァ チョーイチョイ)
ハァーアー
ほろり涙で 風呂焚(た)く嫁(よめ)御(ご)ヨ
ナンダコーラヨート
(ハァ チョーイチョイ)
煙いばかりじゃ ないらしい
ナンダコーラヨート
(ハァ チョーイチョイ)
The song 新相馬節 by 細川たかし is a beautiful representation of the beauty and nostalgia associated with the city of Soma. The first verse depicts the vast sky of Soma as something distant yet magical. The repetition of "Nandakora yooto" may signify the singer's longing to understand the city and the emotions associated with it. The following verse is more personal, as the singer reflects on a flower and how it has affected them. It's unclear whether the flower represents a person or a feeling, but its presence has caused the singer to question their previously unyielding self. The final verse is perhaps the most emotional, as it references a grieving widow who is heating up the bath with tears in her eyes. Despite the somber imagery, the verse ends on a hopeful note, acknowledging that things are not always as they seem.
