「✞」The Road Is a Song
An Irish folk ballad in jig rhythm (6/8), performed with acoustic guitar in DADGAD tuning, Irish flute, and soft bodhrán. The guitar plays gentle arpeggios and light strumming to carry the rhythm. A warm male ballad voice sings in an expressive, lyrical style, deep and steady. The Irish flute weaves melodic lines between the verses and softly reprises the chorus at the end. The bodhrán plays very lightly, like a heartbeat, never overpowering the voice. The mood is tender, poetic, and heartfelt — more of a listening ballad than a dance tune, evoking open meadows, warm winds, and friendship. Keep it intimate, lyrical, and around 2 minutes long.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Three of us walking, the meadow bare
Nothing around, but the laughter we share
A few wild flowers, the warm winds sigh
Still we are singing beneath the sky
※三人で歩く 草原は空っぽ
※何もないけど 笑いは絶えない
※花は少し 熱い風がため息をつく
※それでも僕らは 空の下で歌っている
Chorus
It’s not the place, but the friends we keep
They carry us on through the dark and deep
With voices steady, with spirits free
The road is a song for you and me
※大事なのは場所じゃなく 共に歩む友
※その存在が僕らを 闇も深みも越えて進ませる
※声は澄み 心は自由
※道そのものが 君と僕の歌になる
Verse 2
Empty the park, yet the heart is full
Stories we weave make the silence pull
The hot wind circles, but still we stay
Bound by the light of a brighter day
※公園は空虚でも 胸は満ちている
※語る物語が 静けさを彩る
※熱い風が渦を巻いても 僕らはとどまる
※より明るい日の光に 結ばれて
Chorus
It’s not the place, but the friends we keep
They carry us on through the dark and deep
With voices steady, with spirits free
The road is a song for you and me
※大事なのは場所じゃなく 共に歩む友
※その存在が僕らを 闇も深みも越えて進ませる
※声は澄み 心は自由
※道そのものが 君と僕の歌になる
Outro
The road is a song, for you and me
The road is a song, for you and me…
※道は歌になる 君と僕のために
※道は歌になる 君と僕のために…
✞Afterword✞
This is 39. The characters in this poem are myself, my partner, and an old friend bound to me by fate.
Because of this friend, I was able to cross a long and dark path and meet my reliable partner.
I’ll give him my thanks just this once. Don’t let it go to your head. ✞
