201311 Somewhere over the rainbow

  Somewhere over the rainbow-
  Way up high
  in the land that I heard of
  Once in a lullaby

  Somewhere over the rainbow-
  Skies are blue
  and the dreams that you dare to dream
  really do come true

  Someday I'll wish upon a star
  and wake up
  where the clouds are far behind me
  Where troubles melt like lemon drops
  away above the chimney tops
  that's where you'll find me

  Somewhere over the rainbow
  skies are blue
  and the dreams...that you dare to dream
  really do come true

  If happy little bluebirds fly
  above the rainbow, why
  Oh, why can't I?

「虹のかなたに」(ミュージカル『オズの魔法使い』から、1939年)



※地面すれすれにかかった虹。
虹に願いを託しても、残念ながら届きそうもないほど低い。
想いだけが虹を超えて高く飛んでいきそうな、この日の虹だった。
