Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

歌え稀代の舞姫よ声高くあでやかに
ぼくは君に会いたくてここまで来たよ

踊れ幾世の亡霊よ想い悲しき道化師よ
ぼくは君に会いたくてここまで来たよ

誰も住まぬ街に歌姫が来る
忘れ去られし歌姫が来る

いいよぼくが行くよずっと見てるよ
化石になるまでそこにいるよ

ちいさな小屋のその奥で奏でるはアコーディオン
ぼくは君に会いたくてここまで来たよ

青く細いその調べは今宵彼方に木霊する
ぼくは君に会いたくてここまで来たよ

破れかけたポスター静かに伝える
忘れ去られし歌姫が来る

夢にまで見たさ草や木々まで
かすかにふるえる君の声

口笛

いいよぼくが行くよずっと見てるよ
化石になるまでそこにいるよ
