赤い風船
赤い靴 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

あの娘はどこの娘 こんな夕暮れ
しっかり握りしめた 赤い風船よ
なぜだかあの手をするりとぬけた
小さな夢がしぼむ どこか遠い空
こんな時 誰かがほら
もうじきあの あの人が来てくれる
きっとまた小さな夢もって
この娘はどこの娘 もう陽が暮れる
隣の屋根に飛んだ 赤い風船よ
なぜだかこの手に涙がひかる
しょんぼりその家に灯りこもる頃
こんな時 誰かがほら
もうじきあの あの人が来てくれる




優しい歌 うたってくれる
あの人が優しい歌うたってくれる

Overall Meaning

The song 赤い風船 (Akaifusen) begins with a boy wondering about the girl he sees walking by in the evening. He notices the red balloon that she holds tightly in her hand and wonders about her dreams and desires. In the next verse, the girl is seen again, this time during sunset, with the red balloon flying up in the sky from her hand. The boy sees tears in her eyes and wonders why she is crying. He imagines that she is sad because her small dream might not come true.


The chorus speaks of hope and waiting for someone to come and make things better. The boy believes that the person she is waiting for will come with her small dreams and hopes. The last line of the chorus tells that the person will sing a gentle song, and it will make everything okay. The girl is not alone, and the boy reassures her of this fact.
