帰還
西沢幸奏 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
でも きっとできないね
あの日見た 初めの海
覚えてる?
一緒に行ってみたいね
ごめん 少し遠いかな
君と見た 朝焼け空
忘れない
僕らは旅立つ
重い荷物持ち
隊列を組んで
まだ進まなきゃ だけど
雨が強くて 帰れない
痛みが眩しい
覚えていて ここに居たこと
僕の朝 君の夢
沈み朽ちても
必ず還るから
願い 祈り 抱きしめて
忘れないで 駆け抜けた風
堕ちる海 爆ぜる空
零れ消えても
いつか 巡り出逢う
繋ぐ君への 帰投
桜の季節みたいな
君の横顔 見惚れてた
ひだまりの その笑顔
忘れない
花びら舞う朝
僕らも漕ぎ出す
最後の楯持ち
円陣を組んで
たどりつかなくちゃ だけど
空が低くて 進めない
視界が滲んで
待ってて―――
見上げていた月
飛沫上げる波も
雪も雨も
みんな懐かしい
静かに深く 降り積もる時
君の夜 僕の跡
消していっても
ここに還るから
僕は 君を 抱きしめる
忘れないよ 追いかけた雲
堕ちる海 爆ぜる空
遠く霞んで
いつの日か 共に歩む
繋ぐ君こそ 希望
The lyrics to "帰還" by 西沢幸奏 (Retun) reflect on a journey that is both physical and emotional. The singer reminisces about past memories of being with someone on the beach, watching the sunrise, and feeling the pain of leaving. They then shift to the present, where they are on a journey with heavy physical weight and an uncertain future. They are accompanied by others, forming a line and moving forward together. The singer is holding onto their memories and the hope that they will return to the past and the person they were with. They describe a sense of familiarity with the environment and the emotions that they are feeling, indicating a deep connection with the past and the present.
As the song progresses, the singer continues to reflect on their surroundings and what's ahead. They observe the beauty of the person they are with and their smile, which they will not forget. There are references to falling petals and snow, which invoke a sense of passing time and how things change even with the passage of a brief moment. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer affirming their commitment to the person they love and holding onto the memories they share. The overall theme of the song is about the journey of life and how one's memories and experiences shape who they are and how they view the world.

いつかは聴いてみたいな
I want to listen to it one day
でも きっとできないね
But I probably won't be able to
あの日見た 初めの海
Do you remember the first sea we saw?
覚えてる?
Do you remember it?
一緒に行ってみたいね
I want to go there together
ごめん 少し遠いかな
Sorry, it's a bit far away
君と見た 朝焼け空
I won't forget the sunrise we watched together
忘れない
I won't forget
嵐の日の夜
On that stormy night
僕らは旅立つ
We started our journey
重い荷物持ち
Carrying heavy baggage
隊列を組んで
Formed a line
まだ進まなきゃ だけど
We still had to keep going
雨が強くて 帰れない
But the rain was so strong we couldn't continue
痛みが眩しい
The pain was so bright
覚えていて ここに居たこと
I remember being here
僕の朝 君の夢
My dawn, your dream
沈み朽ちても
Even if it sinks and rots
必ず還るから
I will definitely return
願い 祈り 抱きしめて
I hold my wishes and prayers close
忘れないで 駆け抜けた風
Don't forget the wind that ran through us
堕ちる海 爆ぜる空
The falling sea, the bursting sky
零れ消えても
Even if they disappear
いつか 巡り出逢う
We'll meet again someday
繋ぐ君への 帰投
Returning to you, who I'm connected to
桜の季節みたいな
Like the season of cherry blossoms
君の横顔 見惚れてた
I was captivated by your profile
ひだまりの その笑顔
Your sunny smile
忘れない
I won't forget
花びら舞う朝
On that morning when petals flew
僕らも漕ぎ出す
We also set out
最後の楯持ち
Holding onto our last shield
円陣を組んで
We formed a circle
たどりつかなくちゃ だけど
Although we have to reach it
空が低くて 進めない
We couldn't make progress because the sky was low
視界が滲んで
My vision blurred
待ってて―――
Wait for me―――
見上げていた月
The moon we looked up at
飛沫上げる波も
The waves that splashed up
雪も雨も
The snow and the rain
みんな懐かしい
They're all precious memories
静かに深く 降り積もる時
In times of silently accumulating deep darkness
君の夜 僕の跡
Your night, my footprints
消していっても
Even if they disappear
ここに還るから
I will return here
僕は 君を 抱きしめる
I will hold you tightly
忘れないよ 追いかけた雲
I won't forget the clouds we chased
堕ちる海 爆ぜる空
The falling sea, the bursting sky
遠く霞んで
Even though it's hazy in the distance
いつの日か 共に歩む
Someday, we'll walk together
繋ぐ君こそ 希望
You, who I'm connected to, are my hope

映画も良かったけど、この主題歌は本当に名曲だと思う。
@user-jy5ie3jf3y
歌詞良すぎる
曲自体も合唱向きな展開だし合唱で歌ってみたいなぁ
@user-fs3il8es5g
劇場で最後に流れてクッソ泣いた記憶。あ〜終わっちゃった〜！！感があって寂しくなったなぁ…でもこれから二期出るからホント楽しみです。艦これ愛してる…
@SaruW777
ウクライナ人のみなさんも無事帰還できますように
心から祈っています
@user-nj2ti5nz4m
艦これの曲はどれもこれも、どうしてもっと無責任に永遠や愛を歌ってくれないんだろう？
そうだったらDVD見終わった後であんなにボロ泣きしないで済んだのに
でも、もしそうだったらあんなに心に残るモノは無かったかもしれないな
@user-tm3yx3zn6f
涙腺に直撃弾！防水壁破損！
涙止まりません！
@Astonmartin5656
まだ艦これをそこまで知らない時に劇場版見たけど良かった、
また見てみたいな。
@ryoma5391
この曲 大和が沈む事になった坊ノ沖が
元になってるって知って調べて
もう一回聞いたら、号泣した
@user-ij2dj7ed8e
花びら舞う朝 僕らも漕ぎ出す＝大和以下第二艦隊が徳山沖から出港
最後の盾持ち＝大和
円陣＝第二艦隊が敷いていた第四航行警戒序列(輪形陣)
辿り着かなくちゃ＝沖縄まで
空が低くて進めない＝米軍機が空を覆っていたという逸話から
待ってて＝沖縄で戦う陸軍、海軍特戦隊、県民に対し
堕ちる海 爆ぜる空 零れ消えても＝特攻(零戦が空で爆ぜて海に堕ちる)
こんな感じですかね
@Noob_Kyotaro
この曲を聴くと毎回はやぶさの最期が浮かぶ。
還ってきた時は俺はまだ小学にも入っていなかったけど
ニュースで流れたあの姿だけはしっかり覚えてる。
