Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A anata wa
A itsuka watashi ni tsugeru no deshou?
Yasashii koe de kiitto
Tamashii wa yureru kiira kira
Oboreru namida no hoshi
Yagate kuru kanashii dake no
Mirai ya towa ni nemure
La aaaaa la aaaaa
...
A watashi wa
A itsuka sono te wo hanasu no deshou?
Yasashii emi de kiitto
Tamashii wa yureru kiira kira
Koboreru namida no hoshi
Laralaira laira ira laralaira laira ira
Anato no chikaku ni irareru
Kono shunkan yo tsuzuke
Yuugere no sora mo
Hai-ira no youru mo
Mune ni kizamareru
Anata to no hibi yo
La aaaaa laaaaaa laaaaaa laaaaaa
The lyrics of Nao Hiiragi's song "Kaerimichi" convey a sense of longing and uncertainty for the future. The opening line "La aaaaa la aaaaa la aaaaa la aaaaa" is repeated throughout the song and sets a dreamy and nostalgic tone. The first verse asks a question to a loved one, wondering if they will someday reveal their true feelings with a gentle voice that will make the spirit tremble like glittering stars, and mentions the tears that the singer sheds.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Laralaira laira ira laralaira laira ira" which adds a sense of whimsy to the song, and mentions the singer's sadness for the future and eternity that will come. The second verse turns inward, asking if the singer will ever be able to let go of the hand they are holding with a gentle smile, and again mentions tears.
