Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Me o tojite nanimo miezu
Kanashikute me o akereba
Kohoya ni mukau miti yori
Hoka ni mieru mono wa nashi

Aaa... kudake tiru sadame no hoshi tati yo
Semete hisoyaka ni kono mi o terase yo
Ware wa yuku aojiroki hoho no mama de
Ware wa yuku saraba subaru yo

Iki o saraba mune no naka
Kogarashi wa naki tsuzukeru
Saredo wa ga mune wa atsuku
Yume o oitsuzukeru nari

Aaa... sanza meku namonaki hoshi tatiyo
Aaa... semete azayaka ni sono mi o oware yo

Ware mo yuku kokoro no meizuru mama ni
Ware mo yuku saraba subaru yo

Aaa.... itsu no hi ka dareka ga kono miti o
Aaa.... itsu no hi ka dareka ga kono miti o

Ware wa yuku aojiroki hoho no mama de
Ware wa yuku saraba subaru yo





Ware wa yuku saraba subaru yo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tanimura Shinji's song "Subaru" reflect a sense of loneliness and loss. The opening verse talks about closing one's eyes and seeing nothing, and when they open them again, they only see the road leading to their destination with no other options. This creates a feeling of being stuck in a certain path, and there is no turning back. The chorus talks about the fate of the stars, "kudake tiru sadame no hoshi tati yo," and how they should at least shine brightly before they fall apart. The second verse describes the inner struggle of the singer, as he continues to pursue his dreams despite the harsh reality. He wants to keep chasing his dreams and is willing to withstand the cold wind to keep the fire of passion burning in his heart.


The overall message of the song is one of perseverance and determination. The singer is pushing forward despite the challenges, and he wants the stars to shine brightly before they disappear. The repetition of the phrase "ware wa yuku saraba subaru yo" at the end of the chorus reinforces this message. The singer is saying goodbye to the past and moving forward with a steadfast determination to pursue his dreams.

【感恩與懷念】
大家好~
今日得知日曲神級人物「谷村新司」逝世,心中滿滿不捨……
我曾在日本演唱二十多年,唱過太多"谷村大師"的歌。
記憶猶新的是在日本第一場的出場曲是「昴~すばる」, 從此很多不知道我名字的日本觀衆都叫我「すばる」。
自己也從口袋只有25首日本歌曲至今達到近4千首,數不清唱過多少人的歌,雖然也忘記了很多,但愛唱日曲的心依舊。
谷村大師創作的歌,每一首的詞、曲都很美,多少人靠他的歌翻唱了各國語言,賺得口袋滿滿!
一代曲神,曲曲款心,是匠人之作、是匠心絕作!
以大師兩首佳作曲名:借「風姿花伝」送之「いい日旅立ち」。
願好姿乘風、好日花跡西行。
再以我踏上日本舞台的第一埸出場歌曲「昂」,誠心回獻,向谷村大師致敬、致意和致謝。
願祢如昴之星座高掛天祭,以曲環視人間。
(此曲中文翻唱者是鳳飛飛,曲名為:另一種鄉愁)

本日大好きな父が亡くなりました。父が大好きな曲で父がカラオケで歌う定番で、車でもよく家族で聞いてました。本日父のお通夜でこの曲を流して最後に聞いてもらいました。父の一番大好きな曲、父の曲と言ったらこの曲です。谷村さん、とても素敵で私達兄弟が一生忘れない大切な曲をありがとうございます。
