Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

広がる空の 青さを
今日は 悲しく思う
大きな雲が 空を 低く 横切ってく
そして あの 長かった 夏も
終わろうと している

どれだけ 近づいても
遠い こころがある
どれだけ 手をのばしても
かなわない 想いがある
吹き抜けてく 風は 強く
こころも 揺らす

まっすぐな 愛と
くじけそうな 夢と
ちっぽけな 誇り
それだけを 抱えて
僕らは 向かうべき その場所を
目指して 行く ほかはない

こずえに 緑が また
よみがえるみたいに
僕らの いのちは ずっと
つながって ゆくのか
幸せと 涙の 記憶 繰り返しながら

風の強い こんな日は
人生が 大きく 変わってゆく
Good-bye, good-bye 今は good-bye
新しい 明日が 来るはず

愛した人 愛してくれた
心に残る 人たちよ
忘れないで 忘れないで
きっと 忘れないよ グッドバイ
Good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye
人生が 大きく 動いてゆく
Good-bye, good-bye 今は good-bye
新しい 明日が 来るはず
まっすぐな 愛と
くじけそうな 夢と
ちっぽけな 誇り
それだけを 抱えて




僕らは 向かうべき その場所を
目指して 行く ほかはない

Overall Meaning

The song "Good Bye" by Kazumasa Oda describes the bittersweet feeling of saying goodbye to what has passed and moving on to a new chapter in life. The opening lines, "The blueness of the spreading sky / makes me sad today," suggest a sense of longing and nostalgia for what has been lost. The mention of the large clouds passing low across the sky indicate a feeling of heaviness and a sense that the end of summer is approaching.


The following stanza speaks of the distance between oneself and loved ones, despite attempts to reach out. The strong wind that blows through symbolizes the turbulence and uncertainty of life, which can shake even the strongest of hearts. The chorus speaks of the journey ahead, which must be taken with only the love, dreams, and small sense of pride that one carries with them. The final lines of the chorus urge the listener to not forget the people who have touched their heart, for they will always be a part of their memories.


The final verse asks the question of whether life and memories will continue to be intertwined as they move forward. The line "happiness and tears repeating in memory" suggests that while they are moving forward, they will always remember the moments of joy and sadness that make up their past. The song concludes with the repeated phrase of "goodbye" and the reminder that life is constantly changing and moving forward.


Overall, "Good Bye" is a poignant reflection on saying goodbye to what has been and moving forward with hope towards what is yet to come. The sense of uncertainty and turbulence is present throughout the song, as well as a bittersweet combination of sadness and hope.
