さらば相棒
ARB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
つく頃お前も自由になれる
最低最悪二度と戻らねェ
ふくらんだトランクを
蹴とばしながら
そんなにくさるなよ
そんなにくさるなよ
満たされない街に
雨の TOKYO STATION
泣いてる STATION
さらば相棒お前と俺に乾杯
ガキの頃からいつも二人で
都会の夢ばかりを追いかけていた
明日はホーム・タウン
ゆっくり眠りなよ
もえつきた心も身体もやすめ
電話を忘れるな電話を忘れるな
あの娘に出会ったら幸せに暮せるさ
雨の TOKYO STATION
泣いてる STATION
さらば相棒お前と俺に乾杯
雨の TOKYO STATION
震えてる STATION
よれたコート疲れた後姿
雨の TOKYO STATION
泣いてる STATION
さらば相棒終りのない旅へ
These lyrics are from the song "Saraba Aibou" or "Farewell, Partner" by ARB. The song describes the departure of two friends from Tokyo Station, with one of them leaving behind a city that left them unfulfilled. As they part ways, the lyrics suggest that they are looking forward to a new future, free from the constraints and disappointments of the past. The first verse paints a picture of the night approaching and the train lights coming on, signalling the moment of departure.
As the song progresses, the lyrics touch upon the dreams and aspirations of the two friends who have spent their lives together chasing the city's dreams. The second verse mentions that they have always been together since their childhood, constantly chasing urban dreams, but now it's time for one of them to move on. The lyrics suggest that they are both tired and disillusioned, but still hopeful for a better future. The chorus repeats the phrase "farewell, partner" and hints at their plans for a better future and a new journey.
Overall, "Saraba Aibou" is a song of nostalgia and hope for the future. It captures the feelings of two friends who have grown tired of chasing an unfulfilled dream and are now ready to start anew with optimism.

懐かしい！ たしか渋谷のライブハウスだったと思う。いよいよライブ開始直前、ARBのメンバーが入場するとき、目の前を通過するドラムのキースの背中をポンと叩いたんだ。「期待してるぜ！」オレは心の中で叫んだんだ。最高のライブだったなあ。忘れないぜ！
