さよならは 言わない
Kazumasa Oda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
あの頃 まわりの すべてが
やさしく いつも 僕らを
つつんでいるように見えた
語り合って 語り尽くして
あてもなく さがしてた
その道は 果てしなく
悲しみは やがて
消えることを 知った
喜びは いつまでも
輝き続けることも
戦い続けた わけじゃない
流されて来たとも 思わない
追いかけた 夢の いくつかは
今 この手の中にある
晴れわたった こんな日は
いつでも 思い出す
飛ぶように 駆けぬけた
遠い日の 僕らのことを
こころは 今も あの時のまま
思い出に そして 君に
だから さよならは 言わない
ずっと ずっと 楽しかったね
晴れわたった こんな日は
いつでも 思い出す
飛ぶように 駆けぬけた
遠い日の 僕らのことを
たとえ このまま 会えないとしても
思い出に そして 君に
きっと さよならは 言わない
決して さよならは 言わない
The lyrics of Kazumasa Oda's song "Sayonara wa Iwanai" convey a bittersweet feeling of nostalgia for a time that was happy and carefree.

They talked and talked until they were out of breath, aimlessly looking for something. They never knew where their paths would take them, and yet they kept going forward, not deterred by the unknown.
The lyrics then go on to reflect on how the persona has learned that sadness is just temporary and happiness is everlasting, and how they have come to appreciate the value of their struggles, dreams, and memories. The persona assures a loved one that even if they cannot meet again, they will always keep them in their memories and thoughts.
Overall, the song encapsulates the feelings of reminiscence and longing for a happier time, acknowledging the beauty of the present while keeping a connection with the past.
