Hajimarinohi
Iri Lyrics

The lyrics of Iri's song "Hajimarinohi" reflect the bittersweet feelings of starting a new journey while also reminiscing about the past and the people who have left their mark on our lives. The first verse talks about peering through a hole and being tickled by the scent of spring, symbolizing the anticipation and excitement of embarking on a new path. The singer reflects on the day of departure, with blurry vision revealing her own reflection, as people pass by like a flowing stream and their breaths escape. It's a moment when words fail to express the emotions and the gentle breeze whispers in the silence.

The chorus emphasizes the simplicity of not needing much and being present in the moment, embracing the continuation of dreams while murmuring along the way. The lyrics express the difficulty of saying goodbye and how the memories of a loved one's smile become more vivid as time fades them away. The peacefulness of those days that person left behind remains unchanged, a constant presence in ordinary afternoons, as the person remains within the singer.

The second verse describes the sky, colored softly like a connection that still binds the singer and the person they miss. The singer longs to meet that person, waving their hand from beyond the long stretch of light. The lyrics highlight the fleeting moment when saying "see you later," a moment that can be forgotten, but the singer will keep walking while envisioning it.

In the final chorus, the lyrics reiterate the difficulty of saying goodbye and the resurrection of the person's smile as it gradually fades away. The memories they left behind remain peaceful, untouched by time, and within the singer's heart. The song ends with the repetition of "La la la la la la," perhaps symbolizing the continuation of the journey, the ongoing cycle of beginnings and endings.
