Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

ネムの並木のこの道は
チャペルに続く白い道
野原を越えて鐘の音は
雲の彼方に消えてゆく
あしたも二人で歩こうね
チャペルに続く白い道

雨に嵐に負けないで

いつでも強く生きようと
チャペルの鐘はきょうもまた
ぼくと君とによびかける
二人の夢はふくらむよ
チャペルに続く白い道

暗く貧しいすぎた日も
心の中はいつの日も
明るくすんだ鐘の音に
明日の幸せ夢みてた

思いのすべてをこめた道
チャペルに続く白い道

The song "Chapel ni Tsuzuku Shiroi Michi" (White Road Leading to the Chapel) talks about a path lined with sleeping trees that leads to a chapel that lies beyond the open fields. The sound of bells reverberates over the silence and then disappears into the clouds above. The lyrics describe a promise to keep walking along the white path leading to the chapel, through rain and storms, no matter how tough life can be. The chapel bells serve as a constant reminder to continue on this journey with hope and the possibility of realizing one's dreams.
