Goodbyedōyō
The children’s song “Goodbye” depicts seeing off a father as he heads out to work and other activities.
The lyrics were written by Yoshimi Sato, a nursery rhyme lyricist and poet known for songs like “The Policeman Dog,” and the music was composed by Koyo Kawamura, the composer of pieces such as “Seagull Sailor.” In the lyrics, farewells are said not only to the father but also to friends and a pet dog.
However, it is by no means a sad song; it portrays the everyday “goodbyes” that arise from ordinary daily events.
Why not sing it on Father’s Day while thinking of fathers who go out to work for their families, come rain or wind?
