風の詩
THE ALFEE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
赤い花が咲き誇る大地を
そして西へと吹く風は尋ねた
お前は何処へ行こうとしてるのか
故郷遠く離れて
愛しき人の想い
茜雲を追いかけて行く
指し示せよ未来への羅針盤
時には愛を犠牲にしてまで
夢のために闘う事もある
涙も涸れ果てた
絶望の底から
一筋の光を見つけた
風の詩が聞こえる大地へ
孤独のメロディー口ずさみ
過去も未来も一瞬の光なら
自由に歩き続けていたい
巡る運命に 逆らう宿命
誓うその胸に Warlords
やがて命尽きるその時
お前は幸せだったと言えるか
何のために人は旅を続けるのか
その答えは誰にもわからない
誓いを裏切らず
挫折を乗り越えて
お前は決して独りじゃない...
友よ流れる雲のように
風に吹かれ夢追いかけて
魂が土に還る日まで
諦めないで闘い続けろ
凍てつく大地 落日の日々よ
祈り込めて Warlords
荒野にこだまする
風の鎮魂歌
ひたすらこの道を
信じて生きて行きたい
風の詩が聞こえる大地へ
孤独のメロディー口ずさみ
過去も未来も一瞬の光なら
自由に歩き続けていたい
友よ流れる雲のように
風に吹かれ夢追いかけて
魂が土に還る日まで
諦めないで闘い続けろ
巡る運命に 逆らう宿命
誓うその胸に Warlords Warlords
The lyrics of THE ALFEE's song "風の詩" (Kaze no Uta) speak about the journey of a traveler in search of something meaningful. The traveler marvels at the vastness of the land where beautiful red flowers bloom and asks the wind where it is going. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who has left their homeland and the cherished memories of loved ones behind, following the crimson-colored clouds. Looking up at the starry sky, the traveler seeks guidance for the future, sometimes even sacrificing love to pursue their dreams. Despite tears and moments of despair, they discover a glimmer of hope, a ray of light in the depths of darkness. The wind whispers its poetic song, leading the traveler to a land where they can sing a melody of solitude. Both the past and the future are fleeting moments of light, and the desire remains to keep walking freely. The lyrics mention defying the cyclical fate that comes with life, vowing to fight against it. The song acknowledges that one day, when life comes to an end, will it be possible to say whether the traveler was truly happy? The purpose of the journey remains a mystery, known only to the traveler themselves. But they vow to stay true to their promises and never be alone, believing in their friends and the power of the wind. The lyrics urge the pursuit of dreams until the soul returns to the earth, encouraging perseverance and never giving up.

この曲も初耳です。前奏は荘厳ささえありますね。Ｅギターよりもアコギが効いていると思いました。
桜井さんが、歌い方はすごく素敵なんですが、なんか歌いにくそうにしていると感じました。
