BUMP OF CHICKEN「ハルジオン」

Halcyon

I was making a rainbow, but when I stretched out my hand it disappeared
I stood stock still, holding a tin watering pail, in the early afternoon
Now what was the name of that tall, white flower?
That bloomed outside of my field of vision as if it had been forgotten

My memory of it will fade and grow hazy
I've must remember that flower I forgot

Now when was it? That day my wounds were wet
Within the blurred lanscape, it swayed but did not blur
Now when was it? That day I lied to myself
The rhythm of its swaying seemed to sing with the wind

Someday If I suddenly remember, it will come to me
When it was white, it was always swaying there, but for whom? For what?

When you've lost reason to live
When you've forgotten your worth
Look there, you can see it, the swaying white flower
Just remember this one thing: to sway but not break

I was making a rainbow, and I wanted to try to touch it onece
When you become an adult, you laugh scornfully at dreams at hopes
However we still keep repeating our mistakes without realizing
Even when we become adults, we reach out to touch the rainbow we made

Ask the people who have traveled too far and wide
What is the thing that moves you now? What color is it? Where is it?

I lost my dreams somewhere along the way
And left them with my hope somewhere far off
Look there, even now, the swaying white flower
I didn't realize that I knew it's color and place all this time

I was making a rainbow, and before I knew it the flower had wilted
And in my field of vision were only uncountable puddles of water
Something precious to me had died without even making a sound
My tin watering pail filled with tears

I'm still
Making a rainbow, over and over I cling to this
I know I can't touch it, but still I reach out my hand
Now what was the name of that tall, white flower?
I know it's dead, but it bloomed for me

I realized too late, I hung my head
And among the puddles I saw tiny sprouts, new sprouts

I found my reason to live again
And now my worth is reborn

Even if it wilts, a flower that does not die will bloom
It spreads its roots deep within me

Look, right here, a swaying white flower
I didn't realize, I had forgotten the name
If it sways within me
It sways without breaking, it's an unshakable faith

天体観測聴きたくて小学生の頃買ったアルバムにこの曲が入ってたなぁ
あのアルバム全曲神曲

まさに隠れた名曲って感じ

ぶんまがってんな

この人達の曲を聞くと母語が日本語である事に感謝したくなる！

ハルジオンの花言葉が「追想の愛」ということを先程調べて知りました。

以外引用。

追想とは、 過去を思い返すという意味です。 ハルジオンは 茎の中に空洞があり、 つぼみは下を向いています。 この姿 が過去の愛を思い返してうなだれている人のように見える ことから、 「追想の愛」 という花言葉がつけられたといわ れています。

だから惹かれていたのですね☺️
知られて良かった☺️✨
