結婚した年、巷に流れた国鉄キャンペーンの歌「いい日旅立ち」〜直訳英語は、"Good Day Departure"だが、Nolansアルバムでは”🎦Days That Used To Be”と訳されている。歌詞の意をくむと"Leave for Happiness…"
Days That Used To Be
I hear a voice - It sings to me The ancient calling of the sea It's bringing back to me a memory of day that used to be
My dear old friends - I remember them They'll never pass by this way again I'm left alone and so I think back then of days that used be
Somewhere someone is waiting just for me A special someone who shares the calling, calling of the sea
Two lovers both in wonderland We'd walk together hand in hand and write "I love you true" right there in the sand That the tide would wash away
The Sun goes down - A red balloon and daylight soon gives way for the Moon I seem to hear my favourite tune My mother sang to me
Those fishing boats The harbour lights We flow so high those dragon kites and I recall all those peaceful nights My father sang to me
Somewhere someone is waiting just for me A special someone who understands the cold and lonely sea
I'm gonna leave the past behind and shake all sad thoughts out of my mind I know a new life now I will find But what must be, will be
Somewhere someone is waiting just for me A special someone who shares the calling, calling of the sea
I hear a voice - It calls to me It's a new voice down by the sea I hope it brings sweet memories of day that soon will be
Leave for Happiness
Winter passes and spring is on its way when you look up the sky and throw your past plans and anticipations away. You used to have people around, with whom you shared your dreams and memories. You are alone now and determined to step forward on your own.
